Passing Criteria

To pass the CBSE Class 10 or 12 exams in 2025, you need:

• Minimum Marks: At least 33% marks in each subject (theory + practical + internal assessments) and overall. Subjects with practicals require 33% separately in both theory and practical.
• Grace Marks: If you’re 1–2 marks short, CBSE may award grace marks to help you pass.

What If You Don’t Pass?

• Scoring below 33% in one or two subjects? You can appear for supplementary exams in July 2025 (tentative: July 15–22), with results in August 2025.
• Failing more than two subjects means repeating the year. Stay tuned for CBSE’s compartment exam details post-results.

CBSE 9-Point Grading System

CBSE uses a 9-point grading system for Class 10 (scholastic subjects) and Class 12 (elective subjects), based on your rank among passed students, split into eight equal octiles (1/8th segments). Here’s how it works:

Key Notes:

• Grades are based on rank, not fixed marks. Ranges are approximate.
• E* means you’ll need a supplementary exam or to repeat the year.
• Class 10: Applies to all scholastic subjects. Co-scholastic areas (e.g., Art Education) use a 5-point scale (A–E).
• Class 12: Applies to elective subjects, but marks/percentages matter more for college admissions.
• Class 10’s CGPA is the average of grade points (4–10) in main subjects.

What’s New for 2025?

CBSE is keeping things student-friendly with these policies:

• No Toppers or Merit List: To reduce stress, CBSE won’t announce toppers or release a merit list, continuing since the COVID-19 pandemic.
• New Post-Result Process: CBSE has changed the sequence of post-result activities! Now, you can:
  • Obtain a Photocopy of Evaluated Answer Book: Apply in May/June 2025 for ~INR 700 per sheet to review your answers first.
  • Decide on Further Actions: Based on the photocopy, choose to apply for:
    • Verification of Marks: ~INR 500 per subject (checks for totaling errors or unmarked questions).
    • Re-evaluation: ~INR 100 per question (re-checking specific answers), refundable if upheld.
  • Results of verification/re-evaluation are expected by late June 2025. This new process gives you more clarity before deciding next steps.
• Digital Marksheets: Access via DigiLocker or UMANG app. Schools will provide physical marksheets within 10–15 days.
• Future Reform: From 2025–26, Class 10 students can take board exams twice a year (February & April) to keep their best score.
• No Official Percentages: CBSE doesn’t declare percentages; colleges or employers calculate them, using the best five subjects if you took more.
