TBSE Compartment Exam 2026 Passing Marks Overview
TBSE sets a uniform passing threshold for both Class 10 and Class 12 compartment examinations. Students must score at least 33 marks out of 100 in each subject and clear component-wise minimums where theory and practical are assessed separately.
| Class | Max Marks per Subject | Min Passing Marks | Min Aggregate | Safe Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Class 10 (Madhyamik) | 100 | 33 | 150 out of 500 | 41 and above |
| Class 12 (Higher Secondary) | 100 | 33 | 165 out of 500 | 41 and above |
The 33-mark minimum earns Grade D (Marginal Pass), the lowest passing grade in TBSE’s 8-point scale. Scoring 41 or above places students in Grade C2 (Average) or higher, clearing the borderline zone entirely.
TBSE Class 10 Compartment 2026 Passing Marks Subject-wise
TBSE Madhyamik combines theory with internal assessment or practicals. Both components must be cleared separately. Students who already cleared the practical or internal component in the main exam have those marks carried forward and only sit the theory paper in the compartment exam.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| First Language (Bengali / Hindi / Kokborok / Mizo) | 80 | 20 | 100 | 24 | 6 | 33 |

TBSE Grading System and Safe Score Range
TBSE uses an 8-point grading scale for both Madhyamik and Higher Secondary. Grade D (33 to 40) is the Marginal Pass band. Scoring 41 or above (Grade C2 and higher) is the recommended safe score as it exits the borderline zone and removes rechecking risk.
| Marks Range | Grade | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 91 to 100 | A1 | Outstanding | Clear Pass |
| 81 to 90 | A2 | Excellent | Clear Pass |
| 71 to 80 | B1 | Very Good | Clear Pass |
| 61 to 70 | B2 | Good | Clear Pass |
| 51 to 60 | C1 | Above Average | Clear Pass |
| 41 to 50 | C2 | Average | Safe Pass (recommended target) |
| 33 to 40 | D | Marginal Pass | Pass (borderline) |
| Below 33 | E | Fail | Fail |
Students applying for undergraduate admission after the compartment result should note that most degree programmes require 45 to 50% aggregate for eligibility. A stronger compartment score directly raises the overall aggregate and widens college options.
