The CGBSE Compartment Exam 2026, officially called the Second Main Exam (द्वितीय मुख्य परीक्षा) or Opportunity Exam, is scheduled for July 8–22, 2026 (Class 12) and July 9–21, 2026 (Class 10). Students who failed in one or two subjects in the CGBSE main exam 2026, or who were absent, can use this second chance to clear those subjects without repeating the entire academic year.
The Chhattisgarh Board of Secondary Education (CGBSE) declared the main exam results on April 29, 2026. Class 10 (High School) recorded a pass percentage of 77.15% and Class 12 (Higher Secondary) recorded 83.04%, meaning a significant number of students across both classes became eligible for the compartment exam. The application window to register ran from May 4 to May 30, 2026, and is now closed. Students who registered should begin preparing for their July exams.
Clearing the CGBSE compartment exam means your mark sheet is updated to show a pass result. This result is accepted by colleges and universities across India. Students who do not clear the compartment exam must re-enrol as regular students and re-appear in the next full examination cycle.
- Students who failed in 1 or 2 subjects in the CGBSE 2026 main exam are eligible for the compartment exam.
- The exam is scheduled for July 8–22, 2026 (Class 12) and July 9–21, 2026 (Class 10), in a single morning shift from 9:00 AM to 12:15 PM.
- The registration window was open from May 4 to May 30, 2026 — it is now closed and registered students should focus on preparation.
- Passing the compartment exam means you do not need to repeat the full academic year; your mark sheet is updated and accepted by colleges across India.
- The minimum passing mark is 33% in each subject (theory and practical/internal assessed separately for practical subjects).
- CGBSE Class 10 theory papers carry 75 marks, with practical or internal assessment carrying the remaining 25 marks, totalling 100 marks per subject.
- Students who fail the compartment exam must re-appear as regular students in the next main examination cycle.
CGBSE Compartment Exam 2026
CGBSE conducted the Class 10 and Class 12 main examinations in February–March 2026. The results were declared on April 29, 2026. Students from both classes who could not pass all required subjects — whether due to failing in 1–2 subjects, absenteeism, or a desire to improve their division — could register for the Second Main Exam through the application window that ran from May 4 to May 30, 2026. The compartment exam, scheduled for July 2026, is held at regular CGBSE examination centres across Chhattisgarh. Once a student clears the compartment exam, their certificate reflects a pass result. The board also permits division-improvement students to appear and improve their grades through this exam.

CGBSE Compartment Admit Card 2026
The CGBSE compartment exam admit card for 2026 has not yet been released as of June 16, 2026. The board typically releases the admit card approximately two to three weeks before the exam date, so students can expect it in late June or early July 2026. It will be available for download on the official CGBSE website.
- Regular Students: Your school will distribute the admit card. You may also download it directly from cgbse.nic.in using your roll number and date of birth.
- Private Students: You must download the admit card yourself from the official CGBSE portal. Keep a print of the hall ticket and carry a valid photo ID to the exam centre.
- Division Improvement Students: Your admit card will reflect the subjects in which you are appearing for improvement. Verify the subject details carefully on receipt.
Note: The admit card must be presented at the examination centre without fail. No student will be permitted to sit for the paper without a valid admit card. Check that your name, roll number, subject codes, and exam centre address are correct — report any discrepancy to your school or CGBSE immediately.
Where are CGBSE compartment exams held?
CGBSE compartment exams are held at the same government-designated examination centres used for the main exam, spread across all districts of Chhattisgarh. Your admit card will specify your allotted centre. Students cannot request a change of centre after the admit card is issued. If you relocated after the main exam, contact the CGBSE district education office well in advance to understand the process for centre correction, as this is done on a case-by-case basis.
CGBSE Compartment Exam Syllabus
The CGBSE compartment exam 2026 follows the same syllabus as the main annual examination. There is no reduced or modified syllabus for the Second Main Exam. Students must prepare all units and chapters prescribed in the CGBSE 2025–26 curriculum for the subjects in which they are appearing.
The full syllabus for each subject is published on the official CGBSE website. Focusing on chapters from which you lost marks in the main exam is a smart strategy, but the board can set questions from any part of the syllabus. Previous year compartment papers give a useful sense of the question distribution and marking pattern.

CGBSE Compartment Exam Eligibility Criteria 2026
CGBSE allows students from multiple categories to appear in the Second Main Exam 2026. The primary eligibility condition is failing in one or two subjects in the main exam — students who fail in three or more subjects must re-appear in the full examination as a regular student the following year.
In addition to failed students, those who were absent in one or two papers during the main exam, and students who passed but wish to improve their division or grade, are also eligible. Division improvement students must apply within the notified registration window and can appear only in the subjects they wish to improve their marks in.
| Criteria | Details | Key Insights |
|---|---|---|
| Failed in 1 Subject | Student failed in exactly one subject in the CGBSE 2026 main exam. | Eligible to appear in the compartment exam for that subject only. Other subject results remain unchanged. |
| Failed in 2 Subjects | Student failed in exactly two subjects in the CGBSE 2026 main exam. | Eligible for compartment exam in both failed subjects. Must clear both to avoid repeating the year. |
| Absent in 1–2 Papers | Student was absent for one or two papers during the main exam for valid reasons. | Subject to board verification and approval; must apply with supporting documentation. |
| Division Improvement | Student passed the main exam but wants to improve their marks to move to a higher division or grade. | The higher of the two marks (main exam or compartment) is considered for the final result in most cases — confirm with CGBSE. |
| Passed All Subjects | Students who passed all subjects in the main exam and do not fall under division improvement. | Not eligible for the compartment exam. |
| Failed in 3 or More Subjects | Student failed in three or more subjects in the main exam. | Not eligible for the compartment exam. Must re-enrol as a regular student in the next academic cycle. |
| Passing Criteria | Minimum 33% marks in each subject (theory and practical combined). | For subjects with practicals, 33% is required separately in both theory and practical components. |
| Registration Status | Must have been a registered CGBSE student in 2025–26. | Private students who appeared in the 2026 main exam are also eligible under the same subject-failure criteria. |
What is the rule of compartment exam in CGBSE?
- Regular Students: Students who appeared in the CGBSE 2026 main exam through their school and failed in one or two subjects are directly eligible for the Second Main Exam. Their application is typically processed through the school. Students who clear the compartment exam in all failed subjects are declared passed; their mark sheet is updated accordingly.
- Private Students: Private students who appeared in the CGBSE 2026 main exam and failed in one or two subjects can also apply for the compartment exam. They must apply directly via the CGBSE portal using their roll number and date of birth.
- Division Improvement Students: Students who passed the main exam but secured marks in a lower division than desired can appear in the compartment exam to improve their marks. The board considers the higher of the two scores for the final mark sheet in such cases — verify this policy at cgbse.nic.in before applying.
- Ex-students: Students who had appeared in previous CGBSE exams and still have failed subjects outstanding may be eligible to appear, depending on the number of attempts remaining. Contact CGBSE directly to confirm eligibility for prior-year failed subjects.
How many chances are given in CGBSE compartment?
CGBSE provides students with multiple opportunities to clear their failed subjects. After the main exam result, eligible students get the first opportunity through the Second Main Exam (Compartment Exam) held in July. If a student fails the Second Main Exam as well, they may be allowed to appear again in subsequent examination cycles, either as a compartment/supplementary student or by re-enrolling as a regular student, subject to CGBSE’s current policy. The exact number of permitted attempts can vary and is governed by the board’s regulations — students should confirm the latest policy on number of attempts directly with CGBSE or their school.
CGBSE Compartment Exam: Number of Attempts
| Attempt | Schedule | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| First Attempt | July 2026 (Second Main Exam) | Available to all eligible students who failed in 1–2 subjects in the CGBSE 2026 main exam. Application was open May 4–30, 2026. |
| Second Attempt | Next main exam cycle (2027) | Students who fail the Second Main Exam 2026 may re-appear either as a compartment student in 2027 or by re-enrolling as a regular student, subject to CGBSE’s rules. |
| Subsequent Attempts | As per CGBSE policy | Confirm the maximum number of allowed attempts directly with CGBSE at cgbse.nic.in, as the board’s regulations govern this. |

CGBSE Passing Marks Criteria 2026
The passing criteria for the CGBSE compartment exam are the same as those for the main annual exam. Students must score a minimum of 33% marks in each subject to be declared passed. For subjects that have both theory and practical components, 33% is required separately in both the theory paper and the practical assessment — scoring well in one does not compensate for failing the other.
In Class 10, each subject is evaluated out of 100 marks: 75 for the theory paper and 25 for practical or internal assessment. In Class 12, the split varies by subject and stream — Science subjects with lab practicals are typically 70 marks theory and 30 marks practical, while non-practical subjects are 80 marks theory and 20 marks internal.
| Class / Subject Type | Theory Marks | Practical / Internal Marks | Minimum Passing (Theory) | Minimum Passing (Practical / Internal) | Total Passing Marks (out of 100) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Class 10 – Subjects with Practical (e.g., Science) | 75 | 25 | 25 (33% of 75) | 9 (33% of 25) | 33 |
| Class 10 – Subjects with Internal Assessment (e.g., Mathematics, Social Science, Languages) | 75 | 25 (Internal) | 25 (33% of 75) | 9 (33% of 25) | 33 |
| Class 12 – Science Subjects with Lab Practical (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) | 70 | 30 | 23 (33% of 70) | 10 (33% of 30) | 33 |
| Class 12 – Non-practical Subjects (Mathematics, Accountancy, History, etc.) | 80 | 20 (Internal / Project) | 27 (33% of 80) | 7 (33% of 20) | 33 |
A student is declared passed in the CGBSE compartment exam only if they meet the minimum marks threshold in both the theory and the practical/internal components of each subject they appear in.
Is 25 a passing mark out of 75 in CGBSE?
Yes. 25 out of 75 is the minimum passing mark for theory papers in CGBSE Class 10. This equals 33.3% of 75, which rounds to 25 marks. Similarly, for the internal or practical component (25 marks), a student needs a minimum of 9 marks (33% of 25 ≈ 8.25, rounded up to 9). The combined minimum to pass the full subject (theory + practical/internal = 100 marks) is 33 marks. Even if you score well in internals or practicals, you must individually secure at least 25 marks in the theory paper to be declared passed in that subject.
CGBSE Passing Marks at a Glance
| Component | Total Marks | 33% Calculation | Minimum Passing Marks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Class 10 Theory Paper | 75 | 75 × 0.33 = 24.75 | 25 |
| Class 10 Practical / Internal | 25 | 25 × 0.33 = 8.25 | 9 |
| Class 10 Full Subject (Combined) | 100 | 100 × 0.33 = 33 | 33 |
| Class 12 Theory (Science with Practical) | 70 | 70 × 0.33 = 23.1 | 23 |
| Class 12 Practical (Science) | 30 | 30 × 0.33 = 9.9 | 10 |
| Class 12 Theory (Non-practical Subjects) | 80 | 80 × 0.33 = 26.4 | 27 |
| Class 12 Internal / Project (Non-practical) | 20 | 20 × 0.33 = 6.6 | 7 |
| Class 12 Full Subject (Combined) | 100 | 100 × 0.33 = 33 | 33 |
What happens after clearing the compartment exam? If you pass the compartment exam, CGBSE updates your mark sheet and you are issued a revised certificate showing a pass result. This updated certificate is valid for admission to colleges and universities across India. Your final result reflects that you passed in the supplementary round — which is accepted by most institutions, though a few professional entrance exams or specific college admission processes may specify that only main-exam results are accepted. Always check the admission requirements of your target institution.
What happens if you fail the compartment exam? If you do not pass the CGBSE compartment exam 2026, you will need to re-enrol as a regular student for the next academic cycle (2026–27) and re-appear in the full main examination. You cannot carry forward partial passes from the compartment exam to the next year in most standard cases. Consult your school or CGBSE directly if you have questions about your specific situation.
CGBSE Grading System
CGBSE uses a nine-point grading scale to categorise student performance. A student must secure at least Grade D (33–40 marks out of 100) to be declared passed in any subject. Grades E1 and E2 indicate failure — students who score in these ranges in the main exam are the ones eligible for the compartment exam. After clearing the compartment exam, your grade for the cleared subject is updated on your mark sheet based on your compartment exam score.
| Grade | Marks Range (out of 100) | Grade Point | Performance Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| A1 | 91 – 100 | 10 | Outstanding |
| A2 | 81 – 90 | 9 | Excellent |
| B1 | 71 – 80 | 8 | Very Good |
| B2 | 61 – 70 | 7 | Good |
| C1 | 51 – 60 | 6 | Above Average |
| C2 | 41 – 50 | 5 | Average |
| D | 33 – 40 | 4 | Pass (Minimum Passing Grade) |
| E1 | 21 – 32 | — | Fail (Eligible for Compartment if 1–2 subjects) |
| E2 | 00 – 20 | — | Fail (Eligible for Compartment if 1–2 subjects) |
Note: The CGAP (Cumulative Grade Average Point) for Class 10 is calculated based on grade points across all five main subjects. To calculate your CGAP, add the grade points of your best five subjects and divide by 5. A student with all D grades has a CGAP of 4.0, which is the minimum passing CGAP.

Ans. If you pass the CGBSE compartment exam 2026, your mark sheet is updated to reflect a pass result in the cleared subjects. You are then declared passed for the full examination and you do not need to repeat the academic year.

Most universities accept compartment pass certificates for undergraduate admissions — always verify the specific requirements of your target institution.
Ques. What happens if I fail the CGBSE compartment exam?
Ans. If you fail the CGBSE compartment exam 2026, you will need to re-enrol as a regular student for the 2026–27 academic session and re-appear in the full main examination the following year.

In some situations, CGBSE may allow additional compartment attempts; confirm the current policy by contacting the board directly at cgbse.nic.in.
Ques. When will the CGBSE compartment exam result 2026 be declared?

Ques. How many times can I appear in the CGBSE compartment exam?
Ans. CGBSE provides at least one compartment exam opportunity (the Second Main Exam) immediately after the main exam results. If a student fails the Second Main Exam as well, CGBSE’s policy allows further attempts in subsequent cycles, either as a compartment student or by re-enrolling as a regular student, depending on the number of subjects remaining and the board’s current regulations. The exact limit on the number of allowed attempts can change — confirm this directly with CGBSE or your school before making decisions about your academic path.
Ques. Is the CGBSE compartment exam result accepted by colleges for admission?
Ans. Yes, most colleges and universities across India accept the CGBSE compartment exam result for undergraduate admissions. Once you clear the compartment exam, your mark sheet is updated to show a pass, and this updated certificate carries the same validity as a main-exam pass certificate for most purposes. However, certain professional programmes and national-level entrance exams (such as NIT or IIT admissions under JEE) may require passing all subjects in the main examination itself — always check the specific eligibility conditions of your target course or entrance exam before applying.
