JKBOSE Class X Compartment Exam Fee Structure

JKBOSE charges an examination fee for students submitting forms for the Class X Bi-Annual 2026. Re-appear and failure students pay online through the JKBOSE portal; fresh private students pay at the time of offline form submission at JKBOSE Sub-Offices. An additional late fee is charged for forms submitted after the normal deadline. The fee schedule for the Bi-Annual 2026 session was as follows:

Note: The form submission window for the JKBOSE Class X Bi-Annual 2026 is closed. The normal-fee deadline was May 23, 2026 (extended from the original May 9, 2026) and the late-fee deadline was May 26, 2026. Students who missed the window must apply in the next Annual session. Always verify the current fee structure in the official JKBOSE notification for each upcoming session at jkbose.nic.in.

Re-appear and failure students who submitted forms online paid via net banking, debit card, or UPI through the JKBOSE portal. Fresh private students submitted physical forms along with required documents — original marksheet, identity proof, photographs, and applicable fee — at the JKBOSE Sub-Office in their district, as specified in the official notification.

JKBOSE Class X Passing Marks Criteria 2026

To pass the JKBOSE Class X Bi-Annual exam, students must score a minimum of 33% marks in each subject. The 33% requirement applies independently to the theory component and the internal assessment or practical component. Scoring high in theory cannot compensate for failing the internal assessment or practical — both components must individually clear the 33% minimum for a subject to be counted as passed. Students who pass all five compulsory subjects (Language, English, Mathematics, Science, Social Science) are declared overall ’Pass’ or ’Pass (Compartment)’.

JKBOSE also offers a grace marks provision of up to 6 marks per student across subjects. Grace marks are applied by the board at the time of result processing — they may help borderline students clear a subject where they fall just 1–3 marks short of the passing threshold. Students cannot request grace marks; they are applied automatically as per board rules.

Is 27 out of 80 a passing score in JKBOSE Class X?

Yes. The minimum passing marks in the JKBOSE Class X theory paper (out of 80) are 27 marks, which equals 33% of 80 (exact value 26.4, rounded up to 27). Scoring exactly 27 in theory satisfies the theory passing requirement. However, the student must also score at least 7 out of 20 in internal assessment or practical to be declared ’Pass’ in that subject — both components must independently meet the 33% minimum. Scoring 80 in theory while scoring 0 in internal assessment still results in a fail in that subject. JKBOSE’s grace marks provision (up to 6 marks total per student across subjects) may assist students who are narrowly short of the threshold.

JKBOSE Class X Grading System

JKBOSE follows a 9-point grading system for Class X results. Grades are recorded on the official marksheet and are assigned based on total marks scored in each subject. The grading scale runs from A1 (Exceptional, 90–100 marks) at the top to E2 (Failed, 0–20 marks) at the bottom, with Grade D (33–39) being the minimum passing grade. Students who score E1 (21–32) in one or two subjects may be eligible for the Bi-Annual (compartment) exam, where they can improve their grade. Students with an E2 grade (0–20) in any subject typically need to repeat the class in the next Annual session, depending on the total number of subjects failed.

Note: If a student scores E1 (21–32) in 1 or 2 subjects, they may be eligible for the JKBOSE Bi-Annual exam. Passing the Bi-Annual in those subjects upgrades the grade to at least D (33–39) on the revised marksheet. Students who score E2 (0–20) in any subject are generally required to repeat Class X in the next Annual session under JKBOSE rules.
