APDHTE Class X 2026 Grading System
APDHTE awards a letter grade for each subject alongside numerical marks. Grade D (33–39 marks) is the minimum passing grade. Any score of 32 or below earns Grade E, which means the subject is not cleared. Your marksheet displays both the numerical score and the corresponding letter grade for every subject.
| Grade | Marks Range (out of 100) | Performance Level |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | 90–100 | Outstanding |
| A2 | 80–89 | Excellent |
| B1 | 70–79 | Very Good |
| B2 | 60–69 | Good |
| C1 | 50–59 | Average |
| C2 | 40–49 | Satisfactory |
| D | 33–39 | Pass (minimum) |
| E | 0–32 | Fail |
An overall cumulative grade is also calculated based on your aggregate performance across all five subjects and is printed on the final marksheet issued by APDHTE.
How to Calculate Your APDHTE Class X 2026 Score and Percentage
You can estimate your result and overall percentage before the official declaration. This is helpful when your school has already shared internal assessment marks. Follow the four steps below.
- Note your marks in each subject — add theory marks and internal assessment marks to get the subject total out of 100.
- Check each subject total against the pass threshold — if any subject total is below 33, that subject is not cleared.
- Add all five subject totals to get your aggregate marks out of 500.
- Divide the aggregate by 500 and multiply by 100 to calculate your overall percentage.
The worked example below shows a student who passes all subjects and scores 59.6% overall.
| Subject | Theory (out of 80) | Internal (out of 20) | Total (out of 100) | Grade | Pass? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| English | 55 | 16 | 71 | B1 | Yes |
| Language | 48 | 17 | 65 | B2 | Yes |
| Mathematics | 25 | 17 | 42 | C2 | Yes |
| Science | 28 | 14 | 42 | C2 | Yes |
| Social Science | 62 | 18 | 78 | B1 | Yes |
| Total | 298 / 500 | Passed (59.6%) |
If any subject total had been 32 or below, that subject would carry Grade E and the student would not be declared passed overall. The same calculation logic applies regardless of which subjects you are stronger in.
What Happens if You Fail a Subject in APDHTE Class X 2026
Not meeting the 33-mark threshold in one or more subjects means APDHTE will not declare you passed for Class X 2026. However, you have clear options depending on how many subjects you fall short in.
- Fail in 1–2 subjects: You are eligible for the compartment or supplementary examination, typically held a few months after the main result. Clearing it earns you a full pass certificate.
- Fail in 3 or more subjects: You must re-appear for the complete examination in the next academic cycle.
- Borderline students: APDHTE may apply grace marks in specific subjects as per state government norms, automatically raising borderline scores to the minimum pass threshold where applicable.
- Revaluation option: If you believe your answer sheet was evaluated incorrectly, you can apply for rechecking within the deadline announced alongside the official result on apdhte.nic.in.
