- Both original documents and self-attested photocopies are required at the time of application submission.
- Students appearing in compartment for more than two subjects are not eligible — verify your status from your Class 12 result before applying.

Follow the steps below to correctly submit your documents and complete your PSEB Class 12 Compartment Exam 2026 application. Regular students apply through their school, while passed-out students must approach the PSEB regional office directly.
- Download or collect the official application form from your school office or the PSEB website at pseb.ac.in.
- Fill in all details accurately — roll number, father’s name, subject(s) in which compartment was awarded, school name, and contact information.
- Self-attest all photocopies by signing across the copy with the date. Unsigned copies are treated as invalid.
- Attach all required documents — general documents plus category certificates, if applicable — to the completed application form.
- Pay the prescribed compartment examination fee through the mode specified by PSEB (online payment, bank draft, or through the school). Retain the payment receipt.
- Submit the complete set — form, documents, and fee receipt — to your school or PSEB regional office before the official last date.
- Collect an acknowledgment receipt from the school or PSEB office after submission and keep it safe until the exam is over.
- Download the Admit Card from the PSEB official website once it is released — typically 7 to 10 days before the exam date.
Students who have already passed out of school and are appearing independently must visit the nearest PSEB Regional Office in person with their complete document set and fee payment to register for the compartment exam.
Important Points to Remember
Keep these points in mind while preparing your documents to avoid rejection or unnecessary delays in your PSEB Class 12 Compartment Exam 2026 application.

- The PSEB compartment exam admit card is mandatory on exam day. No student will be permitted to appear without a valid admit card.
- Students appearing in compartment must ensure their subject name on the application form exactly matches the subject listed as compartment in their Class 12 marksheet.
