This is a golden opportunity for students who have failed in 1 or 2 subjects. Specifically, the supplementary exam will be conducted in July 2026 (mid). If you are among those students who scored low marks in one or two subjects in the regular Class 12 exams, then this article is for you.
It is also called the compartment exam. Moreover, it is conducted only for students who fail in 1 or 2 subjects in the main examination. However, if a student fails in 3 or more subjects, they are not eligible and must repeat the entire academic year.
In this article, we will cover the complete process – including eligibility criteria, important dates, application form, fee, admit card, syllabus, passing marks, and result declaration.
Eligibility Criteria for Supplementary Exam
Not every student is eligible. Therefore, HPBOSE has clear rules about who can apply:
- 1 or 2 subjects fail: Students who have failed in one or two subjects in the regular Class 12 exams are eligible.
- Absent in 1-2 subjects: Similarly, students who were absent for one or two exams with a valid reason can also apply.
- Not for improvement: The compartment exam is only for passing failed subjects. Consequently, it is not for improving marks in already passed subjects.
- Not eligible if: Students failing in 3 or more subjects cannot appear. As a result, they must repeat Class 12 entirely.
Important Note: The marksheet will have a “Compartment” stamp on it. This indicates that you passed through supplementary examination. Fortunately, most colleges accept this marksheet for admission. However, some competitive exams may have restrictions.
