The BSE Odisha Class X supplementary exam 2026 is now underway, with the first paper — First Language (Odia) — held on July 2, 2026, and papers continuing until July 10, 2026. Students who failed in one or two subjects in the BSE Odisha Class X annual exam 2026 are eligible to appear in this second-chance examination. The Board of Secondary Education (BSE), Odisha, administers the supplementary exam each year to give eligible students the opportunity to clear pending subjects without losing an academic year.

In the BSE Odisha Class X main exam 2026, 95.33% of students passed — out of 5,36,306 students who appeared, 5,19,251 cleared all subjects. Students who could not qualify in one or two papers now have a structured second attempt through the ongoing supplementary exam. The BSE Odisha Class X supplementary result 2026 is expected in August 2026.

Students who pass the supplementary exam receive a Pass (Supplementary) status on their mark sheet, which is accepted for Class XI admission and most career pathways in Odisha. Those who fail the supplementary exam must appear in the full annual Class X board exam next year as ex-regular students.

BSE Odisha Class X Supplementary Exam 2026 — Overview

BSE Odisha conducted the Class X annual examination 2026 across the state. With a 95.33% pass rate — one of the highest pass percentages in recent years — the majority of the 5.36 lakh students who appeared cleared all subjects. The approximately 17,000 students who fell short in one or two subjects are now appearing in the supplementary exam, which commenced on July 2, 2026. The supplementary exam follows the same syllabus and question-paper pattern as the main exam; only the failed subject(s) need to be re-attempted, and internal assessment marks from the annual exam are automatically carried forward.

BSE Odisha Class X Compartment Exam Datesheet 2026

The BSE Odisha Class X supplementary exam 2026 covers six core subjects spread over nine days — July 2 to July 10, 2026. All papers begin at 9:00 AM; students must report to their designated exam centre by 8:30 AM, as entry is not permitted after the exam begins. Only Mathematics carries extra writing time (until 11:45 AM); all other subjects conclude at 11:30 AM.

Note: Students appearing in Mathematics get an additional 15 minutes of writing time (exam ends at 11:45 AM instead of 11:30 AM). No student is allowed to enter the exam hall without a valid admit card. Carry your admit card and a photo ID on every exam day. The official timetable is available for download at bseodisha.ac.in.

Note: The 2026 supplementary application window closed on May 18, 2026.

For future cycles, always verify the fee at bseodisha.ac.in before applying.

• Click on the ’Supplementary Form Fill-up’ link under the ’Latest Updates’ section on the homepage.
• Enter your roll number and date of birth to log in to the application portal.
• Select the subject(s) for which you wish to appear in the supplementary exam.

BSE Odisha Class X Passing Marks Criteria 2026

To be declared passed in any subject in the BSE Odisha Class X supplementary exam, students must score a minimum of 33% of the total marks in that subject. The minimum passing mark is 33 out of 100 in each subject — this threshold applies to the combined total of theory marks earned in the supplementary exam and the internal assessment marks carried forward from the annual exam.

Students who clear all failed subjects in the supplementary exam are awarded a Pass (Supplementary) result and receive a supplementary mark sheet from BSE Odisha, which is valid for Class XI admission.

Is scoring 33 marks enough to pass the BSE Odisha supplementary exam?

Yes — 33 marks out of 100 is the minimum combined passing score in each subject for the BSE Odisha Class X exam. Because internal assessment marks (out of 20) are carried forward from the annual exam, the minimum theory marks you actually need in the supplementary paper depend on your existing internal score. For example: if you earned 14 internal marks in the annual exam, you need at least 19 marks in the 80-mark supplementary theory paper to reach the 33 combined passing threshold. Students with higher internal marks need fewer theory marks to pass — a significant advantage for students who performed well in school-based assessments throughout the year.

BSE Odisha Passing Marks — Theory Paper Quick Reference

What happens after passing or failing the BSE Odisha Class X supplementary exam?

If you pass the supplementary exam:

• BSE Odisha issues a supplementary mark sheet reflecting a Pass (Supplementary) status for the subject(s) you cleared in July 2026.
• This mark sheet is accepted for Class XI admission at most schools and junior colleges in Odisha; confirm admission timelines directly with your chosen institution, as supplementary results are declared in August — after regular admission rounds.
• The supplementary pass certificate is valid for employment, vocational courses, and other educational pathways that accept the BSE Odisha Class X pass.

If you fail the supplementary exam:

• No further compartment or supplementary attempt is available in the same cycle.
• You must re-appear in the full BSE Odisha Class X annual board examination in 2027 as an ex-regular student.
• Ex-regular students apply directly through BSE Odisha without re-enrolling in a school; there is no upper age limit.
• As an ex-regular student, internal assessment marks are freshly evaluated in the new cycle — prior year internal marks are not carried forward.

BSE Odisha Grading System

BSE Odisha uses an 8-level letter grading system for Class X results, including the supplementary exam result. Grades range from A1 (90–100 marks, Outstanding) at the top to F (below 33 marks, Fail) at the bottom; any student scoring 33 marks or above in a subject earns a passing grade of E or higher. Unlike CBSE, BSE Odisha does not assign numerical grade points (CGPA) — the grade is linked directly to the marks range and descriptive remark.

Note: In the supplementary result, the grade is calculated from the combined total of supplementary theory marks and carried-forward internal assessment marks. A student who scores 25 in theory and has 10 internal marks (combined total 35) receives Grade E (Pass) in that subject.
