JAC 10th Compartment Exam 2026: Registration Open, Exam Date, Eligibility and Application Form

The Jharkhand Academic Council (JAC) conducts the Class 10 (Matric/Secondary) compartment exam every year for students who fail in one or two subjects in the regular board exam. The JAC 10th compartment exam 2026 is expected to be held in July/August 2026, and the registration window is currently open through schools at jac.jharkhand.gov.in following the result declared on April 23, 2026. The compartment cycle gives you a second chance to clear Class 10 in the same academic session without losing a year.

Out of 4,22,109 students who appeared in the JAC Class 10 board exam 2026, 4,02,178 passed, taking the overall pass percentage to 95.28%. The remaining students who failed in one or two subjects are eligible to appear in the JAC Matric supplementary exam 2026, which the council typically conducts in late July to mid-August.

The compartment exam follows the same syllabus, paper pattern, and passing rule (33% in each subject) as the main exam. You only need to reappear in the subject(s) you failed, and your previous marks in passed subjects are carried forward. Once you clear the compartment paper, your final mark sheet shows the result as "Pass" rather than "Compartment", and you can proceed to Class 11.

JAC 10th Passing Marks Criteria 2026

The JAC 10th compartment exam follows the same passing rule as the regular board exam. You must score a minimum of 33% in each subject — combining your theory score and internal/practical marks — to be declared "Pass" for Class 10. Scoring below 33% in even one paper of the compartment means an overall fail and a year repeat.

Is 27 a passing mark out of 80 in JAC 10th?

Yes — 27 out of 80 in the theory paper, combined with at least 7 out of 20 in the internal/practical, makes the aggregate passing score of 34 out of 100, which crosses the 33% mark. JAC rounds the 33% threshold up to the nearest whole mark, so the effective theory passing cut-off is 27/80.

JAC 10th Grading System

JAC follows a nine-point grading system for Class 10, ranging from A1 (highest) to E2 (lowest). Grades D and above are considered passing, while grades E1 and E2 indicate that the student needs to reappear in that subject through the compartment cycle. Your final mark sheet displays both the numerical marks and the grade for each subject.
