The BIEAP Advanced Supplementary Examinations (IPASE) 2026 are currently underway, with theory papers running from May 21, 2026 through early June 2026. Students who failed in one or two subjects in the AP Intermediate Public Examinations 2026 can clear their pending subjects through these supplementary tests — without losing an academic year. Following the Andhra Pradesh Government’s declaration of May 28, 2026 as a public holiday for Bakrid (Eid al-Adha), BIEAP issued a revised schedule; papers originally set for May 28 have been rescheduled to June 5, 2026.
Officially called the AP Intermediate Public Advanced Supplementary Examinations (IPASE), this is Andhra Pradesh’s version of the compartment exam for Class 11 (1st Year) and Class 12 (2nd Year) Intermediate students. The hall ticket for IPASE 2026 was released on May 16, 2026, and is available for download at bie.ap.gov.in using your roll number and date of birth. The supplementary exam carries the same syllabus, question paper pattern, and marking scheme as the main IPE — your regular exam preparation is fully applicable.
Students who pass the supplementary exam will have their marks updated on the official mark memo and can proceed with college admissions or further studies. Students who fail must attempt the next supplementary cycle or repeat the year, depending on the subjects failed.
- Students who fail in 1 or 2 subjects in the AP Intermediate exam are eligible for the BIEAP supplementary (compartment) exam.
- The BIEAP IPASE 2026 theory exams are ongoing from May 21, 2026, and continue through June 5, 2026 (revised end date).
- Exams scheduled for May 28, 2026 were postponed to June 5, 2026 due to the Bakrid public holiday declared by the AP Government.
- Students appearing for postponed papers on June 5 must use their original hall ticket at the same exam centre — no changes have been made.
- The BIEAP IPASE 2026 hall ticket was released on May 16, 2026 at bie.ap.gov.in.
- Students must score a minimum of 35% marks in each subject to pass the supplementary exam.
- Practical exams are scheduled from June 7 to June 11, 2026 at district headquarters.
BIEAP AP Inter Advanced Supplementary Exam (IPASE) 2026
The Board of Intermediate Education, Andhra Pradesh (BIEAP) conducts the Intermediate Public Advanced Supplementary Examinations (IPASE) every year immediately after the main IPE results. For 2026, the exams began on May 21, 2026, covering both First Year and Second Year Intermediate students in all streams — MPC, BiPC, HEC, CEC, and MEC. The Andhra Pradesh Government declared May 28, 2026 a public holiday for Bakrid, prompting BIEAP to reschedule the affected papers — Economics Paper-I (1st Year), Mathematics Paper-IIB (2nd Year), and Vocational Bridge Course exams — to June 5, 2026. The Ethics and Human Values examination, which was originally on June 5, has been moved to June 12, 2026. All other exam dates and centres remain unchanged.

Where are BIEAP supplementary exams held?
BIEAP IPASE 2026 theory exams are conducted at government and aided junior colleges designated as examination centres across all districts of Andhra Pradesh. Your allotted examination centre is printed on your hall ticket — reach the centre at least 30 minutes before the session begins. Practical exams are held at district headquarters and specifically allotted practical examination centres. Students who had papers rescheduled from May 28 to June 5 will write at the same original centre — BIEAP has confirmed no change in venue for rescheduled papers.
BIEAP Supplementary Exam Syllabus
The AP Inter supplementary exam syllabus is identical to the main Intermediate Public Examinations (IPE) syllabus prescribed by BIEAP for the respective academic year. No reduced, modified, or separate syllabus is prescribed for the supplementary examination — the question papers cover the full annual IPE syllabus. Students who prepared for the main IPE do not need any additional preparation; revisiting weak topics from the failed subject is sufficient.
Official BIEAP syllabus PDFs for all streams are available for download at bie.ap.gov.in. The table below lists the main subject groups for which supplementary exams are conducted under IPASE 2026.

Previous Year Question Papers with Solutions PDF
Practising previous year question papers is one of the most effective strategies to prepare for the BIEAP supplementary exam. Since the supplementary exam follows the exact same pattern and syllabus as the main IPE, all previous year IPE question papers are directly relevant for supplementary exam preparation. Official past question papers for all streams and subjects are available on the BIEAP website at bie.ap.gov.in.
| Resource | Streams Covered | Source |
|---|---|---|
| BIEAP Previous Year IPE Question Papers | MPC, BiPC, HEC, CEC, MEC, Vocational | bie.ap.gov.in (Official) |
Note: The supplementary exam question paper pattern is identical to the main annual IPE question papers. Practising IPE papers from any recent year will directly prepare you for the BIEAP IPASE 2026.
BIEAP Supplementary Exam Eligibility Criteria 2026
To appear in the BIEAP IPASE 2026, you must meet the eligibility conditions set by the Board of Intermediate Education, Andhra Pradesh. Students who appeared in the 2026 AP Inter IPE and failed in one or two subjects, and who registered and paid the application fee between April 20–27, 2026, are eligible for the current supplementary cycle.
Improvement (betterment) students and eligible private candidates are also permitted under specific BIEAP guidelines. Students who failed in more than two subjects cannot appear in the supplementary exam and must re-register for the next annual regular IPE.
| Criteria | Details | Key Insights |
|---|---|---|
| Failed in 1 Subject | Eligible for IPASE in the one failed subject. | Most common supplementary category; clears without repeating the year. |
| Failed in 2 Subjects | Eligible for IPASE in both failed subjects. | Must pass both subjects to avoid repeating the academic year. |
| Improvement (Betterment) Students | 1st Year students who passed all subjects can apply for improvement in specific subjects. 2nd Year improvement students must cancel previously obtained marks before registering. | Application was during April 20–27 window; this cycle is now closed for new registrations. |
| Private Students | Eligible as per BIEAP private student regulations. | Must have registered and paid fee in the official April window. |
| Passing Criteria | Minimum 35% marks in each subject. For science subjects, pass theory and practical separately. | Failing the practical alone means the subject is not cleared, even if theory marks are high. |
| Application Deadline | April 20 – 27, 2026 (Closed). | No applications or fee payments accepted after the deadline for IPASE 2026. |
What is the rule of the supplementary exam in BIEAP?
- Regular Students: Students who appeared in the 2026 IPE and failed in one or two subjects are eligible. They must have registered and paid the required fee during the April 20–27, 2026 application window. Hall ticket was released on May 16, 2026.
- Private Students: Private students registered with BIEAP can appear in subjects they failed, subject to BIEAP’s prevailing rules for private student eligibility and registration.
- Improvement / Betterment Students: First Year students who passed all subjects may appear for improvement exams. Second Year students seeking betterment must formally cancel the marks already obtained in those subjects before applying — once cancelled, the new marks replace the old marks on the mark memo.
- Students Who Failed in More Than 2 Subjects: Not eligible for IPASE. Must register as a regular student in the next academic year and appear in the annual IPE.
How many chances are given in the BIEAP supplementary exam?
BIEAP allows students multiple attempts to clear the Advanced Supplementary Examinations. Students who fail in IPASE 2026 can attempt the same subjects again in IPASE 2027 (the next supplementary cycle following the 2027 regular IPE results). Each supplementary cycle opens once a year, typically in May–June. Students must re-register and pay the application fee afresh for each cycle. There is no fixed cap on the total number of supplementary attempts, making it possible for students to keep trying until they pass, without permanently losing eligibility for higher education.
BIEAP Supplementary Exam: Attempt Schedule
| Attempt | Tentative Schedule | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1st Attempt (Current Cycle) | May – June 2026 (IPASE 2026) | Exams ongoing from May 21, 2026. May 28 papers rescheduled to June 5 (Bakrid). |
| 2nd Attempt | May – June 2027 (IPASE 2027) | Available if student fails in IPASE 2026; requires fresh registration and fee payment. |

BIEAP Supplementary Exam Fee Structure
Students were required to pay the application fee for BIEAP IPASE 2026 during the official window from April 20 to April 27, 2026. The fee payment window for IPASE 2026 is now closed — no new applications or fee payments are accepted for the current cycle.

BIEAP Passing Marks Criteria 2026
To pass any subject in the BIEAP supplementary examination, you must secure the minimum qualifying marks as prescribed by the Board. The minimum passing mark is 35% of the total marks allotted to each subject — this threshold applies separately to theory and practical components for science subjects. Securing above 35% in theory but below 35% in practical (or vice versa) means the subject is not passed, and you must repeat the supplementary exam for that subject.
| Subject Type | Theory Marks | Practical Marks | Min. Passing (Theory) | Min. Passing (Practical) | Total Min. to Pass |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Languages / Commerce / Humanities | 100 | — | 35 | — | 35 / 100 |
| Mathematics (Paper-IA, IB, IIA, IIB) | 75 | — | 26 (35%) | — | 26 / 75 |
| Physics / Chemistry / Botany / Zoology | 60 | 30 | 21 (35%) | 11 (35%) | 32 / 90 |
Is 35 the minimum passing mark for all AP Inter subjects?
The minimum qualifying threshold is 35% of the total marks for each subject. For a 100-mark subject, you need 35 marks. For Mathematics (75 marks), you need 26 marks (35% = 26.25, rounded down). For science subjects with a 60-mark theory and a 30-mark practical, you need at least 21 marks in theory and 11 marks in practical independently. If you pass theory but fail practical (or vice versa) in a science subject, you have not passed the subject and must repeat both components in the next supplementary cycle.
AP Inter Passing Marks Quick Reference
| Total Marks | 35% of Total | Minimum Passing Marks |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | 35.0 | 35 |
| 75 (Mathematics) | 26.25 | 26 |
| 60 (Science Theory) | 21.0 | 21 |
| 30 (Science Practical) | 10.5 | 11 |
BIEAP Grading System
BIEAP uses a letter-grade and grade-point system on the mark memo alongside raw marks. Students who score 35% or above receive a passing grade of D or higher; students below 35% receive Grade E and are marked as failed in that subject. Higher grades reflect better academic performance and are considered during college admissions and scholarships.
| Grade | Marks Range | Grade Point |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 91 – 100 | 10 |
| A | 81 – 90 | 9 |
| B+ | 71 – 80 | 8 |
| B | 61 – 70 | 7 |
| C+ | 51 – 60 | 6 |
| C | 41 – 50 | 5 |
| D | 35 – 40 | 4 |
| E (Fail) | Below 35 | — |
BIEAP Compartment Exam FAQs
Ques. What is the BIEAP Advanced Supplementary Exam (IPASE)?
Ans. The BIEAP Advanced Supplementary Examination (IPASE) is Andhra Pradesh’s version of the compartment exam, conducted by the Board of Intermediate Education, Andhra Pradesh (BIEAP). It is held every year in May–June, immediately after the main IPE results, and gives students who failed in one or two subjects a chance to clear those subjects without repeating the academic year.
Ques. Who is eligible to appear in the BIEAP supplementary exam 2026?
Ans. Students who appeared in the 2026 AP Inter IPE and failed in one or two subjects are eligible, provided they registered and paid the application fee during the April 20–27, 2026 window. First Year students who passed all subjects can also appear for improvement (betterment) exams. Students who missed the application window or failed in more than two subjects cannot participate in IPASE 2026.
Ques. Why were some BIEAP 2026 supplementary exams postponed from May 28 to June 5?
Ans. The Andhra Pradesh Government declared May 28, 2026 as a public holiday for Bakrid (Eid al-Adha). BIEAP accordingly postponed all examinations scheduled for that date to June 5, 2026. The affected papers are Economics Paper-I (1st Year forenoon session), Mathematics Paper-IIB (2nd Year afternoon session), and Vocational Bridge Course examinations. The Ethics and Human Values paper, which was originally on June 5, was further rescheduled to June 12, 2026.
Ques. Do I need a new hall ticket for the June 5 rescheduled exam?
Ans. No. BIEAP has confirmed that students whose papers were postponed from May 28 to June 5, 2026 must appear using their original IPASE 2026 hall ticket. There is no change in examination centre either. Simply attend the same centre on June 5 with the hall ticket you downloaded earlier from bie.ap.gov.in.

Ques. What happens if I fail the BIEAP supplementary exam?
