The MPBSE Class 10 Second Main Exam (Supplementary / Compartment Exam) 2026 was conducted by the Madhya Pradesh Board of Secondary Education from May 7 to 19, 2026 (theory) and May 5 to 25, 2026 (practicals). The MPBSE Class 10 Second Main Exam Result 2026 was declared on June 16, 2026 at 4:00 PM, with an overall pass percentage of 73.42%. Students can download their scorecards at result.mponline.gov.in using their roll number and application number.

MPBSE runs a Second Main Examination rather than a traditional supplementary exam — students who clear it receive a regular Class 10 (High School) certificate with no "supplementary" label on the marksheet, unlike CBSE’s compartment system. Eligibility was open to students who failed in any number of subjects, students who were absent, and students who wanted to improve their scores. The application window ran from April 15 to 26, 2026 via the MPOnline portal at mpbse.mponline.gov.in.

Government school students achieved a pass rate of 76.80% while private school students recorded 68%, contributing to the overall pass percentage of 73.42%. Students who have cleared all required subjects can take admission to Class 11 for the 2026–27 academic session.

Students who passed this exam will receive the same Class 10 marksheet format as main exam passers, reflecting MPBSE’s policy of treating second-main passers without distinction.

MPBSE Class 10 Compartment Admit Card 2026

The MPBSE Class 10 second main exam admit card 2026 was released by the board in late April / early May 2026, ahead of the exam which began on May 7, 2026. The admit card served as the official entry document for the exam centre and contained details including the student’s roll number, exam centre address, and subject schedule.

  • Regular Students: The school head / principal downloaded the admit card from the MPOnline portal and distributed it to eligible students who had submitted valid application forms.
  • Private / Ex-Regular Candidates: Private students collected their admit cards from the designated District Education Officer (DEO) office or the MPOnline facilitation centre mentioned in their application acknowledgement slip.

Note: The admit card for the 2026 second main exam has already been issued and the exam is complete. Admit card details for the 2027 supplementary exam will be updated on this page when the next cycle begins.

Where are MPBSE Class 10 compartment exams held?

The MPBSE Class 10 second main (compartment / supplementary) examination is conducted at government-designated examination centres spread across all 52 districts of Madhya Pradesh. These are the same government schools and institutions that serve as centres for the annual main board examination. The exam centre allotted to each student is printed on their admit card. Students are not permitted to change their assigned centre without prior written approval from the board.

MPBSE Class 10 Compartment Exam Syllabus

The syllabus for the MPBSE Class 10 second main exam is identical to the annual High School Board Examination syllabus — there is no reduced or modified syllabus for the compartment exam. Students must prepare from the same MPBSE-prescribed textbooks, covering all chapters and units specified for the full academic year.

Students appearing in the compartment exam prepare only for the subject(s) in which they failed or chose to improve. All unit weightages, chapter distributions, and question paper formats are the same as in the main annual board exam, making previous year question papers an effective preparation tool.

Previous Year Question Papers with Solutions PDF

Solving previous year MPBSE Class 10 supplementary exam question papers is one of the most effective preparation strategies for future cycles. These papers reveal the question format, time pressure, difficulty level, and high-weightage topics — and since the 2026 paper follows the same blueprint as the 2024 and 2025 supplementary papers, they remain highly relevant. Students targeting the 2027 second main exam should start with at least two years of previous papers per subject.

MPBSE Class 10 Compartment Exam Eligibility Criteria 2026

The MPBSE Class 10 Second Main Exam 2026 had broader eligibility than most boards’ compartment exams. Unlike CBSE’s compartment exam which restricts entry to students who failed in at most two subjects, MPBSE permitted any student — regardless of how many subjects they failed — to appear in the second main exam. Students who passed but wanted to improve their percentage were also eligible.

Eligibility was open to regular students of MPBSE-affiliated schools, ex-regular students, and private candidates registered with MPBSE who had appeared in the main Class 10 board examination 2026. All eligible students had to apply via the MPOnline portal within the application window of April 15–26, 2026; applications after this window were not accepted.

Criteria Details Key Insights
Failed Students Students who failed in one or more subjects in the MPBSE Class 10 main exam 2026. No cap on the number of failed subjects — all failed students could apply, unlike CBSE’s two-subject limit.
Absent Students Students who were absent in one or more subjects during the main exam. Students absent with or without valid reason could appear for the missed subjects in the second main exam.
Improvement Candidates Students who passed the main exam but wish to improve their percentage in specific subjects. A unique MPBSE feature — a passed student can re-attempt to boost their score without any negative consequence.
School Affiliation Must be enrolled in or have passed from an MPBSE-affiliated school. Private (ex-regular) students with a valid MPBSE roll number from the same or a previous year were also eligible.
Application Mode Online via MPOnline portal (mpbse.mponline.gov.in) or MPOnline kiosk. Application window: April 15–26, 2026. Late applications beyond this date were not accepted.
Passing Criteria Minimum 33% marks in each subject — theory and practical assessed separately. 33 marks out of 100 is the minimum pass threshold per subject; both components must be cleared individually.

What is the rule of compartment exam in MPBSE Class 10?

  • Regular Students: Students who fail in the annual MPBSE Class 10 board exam are eligible for the Second Main Exam regardless of how many subjects they failed. They must apply within the official window and pay the prescribed fee per subject via MPOnline.
  • Improvement Candidates: Students who cleared the main exam but want to improve their score in one or more subjects may also apply for those specific subjects in the second main exam — the higher of the two scores is considered for the final marksheet.
  • Private / Ex-Regular Candidates: Students who appeared earlier as regular students but are no longer enrolled in school can apply as private candidates, provided they hold a valid MPBSE roll number from a previous cycle and meet the eligibility conditions.

How many chances are given in MPBSE Class 10 compartment exam?

MPBSE holds the second main exam once per academic year, immediately after the main annual result is declared. Students who fail the second main exam as well cannot sit for a third exam within the same academic year — they must re-appear for the complete MPBSE Class 10 board examination in the next annual cycle (2027) as a regular or private student. Each academic year effectively offers two chances: the main exam (February–March) and the second main exam (May). Students who clear the second exam proceed to Class 11 without losing an academic year.

MPBSE Class 10 Passing Marks — Subject-wise Breakdown

To pass each subject in the MPBSE Class 10 exam, students must score at least 33% in both the theory component and the internal assessment / practical component separately. A total score of 33 out of 100 is the overall minimum per subject, but crossing this total alone is not enough — each component (theory and practical) must individually meet the 33% threshold. Scoring high in internal assessment cannot compensate for a failed theory paper.

Subject Theory Marks Internal / Practical Marks Min. Passing (Theory) Min. Passing (Internal / Practical) Total Min. Passing
Hindi 75 25 25 (33% of 75) 9 (33% of 25) 33 / 100
English 75 25 25 (33% of 75) 9 (33% of 25) 33 / 100
Mathematics 75 25 25 (33% of 75) 9 (33% of 25) 33 / 100
Science 75 25 25 (33% of 75) 9 (33% of 25) 33 / 100
Social Science 75 25 25 (33% of 75) 9 (33% of 25) 33 / 100
Sanskrit / Third Language 75 25 25 (33% of 75) 9 (33% of 25) 33 / 100

Internal / Practical 25 8.25 9
Total per Subject 100 33.00 33

What happens after passing the MPBSE Class 10 second main exam? Students who pass receive a regular Class 10 (High School) pass certificate issued by MPBSE — there is no supplementary tag. Passers are fully eligible for Class 11 admission in any MPBSE-affiliated school or a school of another board for the 2026–27 academic session.

What happens after failing the MPBSE Class 10 second main exam? Students who fail the second main exam cannot advance to Class 11. They must re-register for the complete MPBSE Class 10 annual board examination in the next academic cycle (2026–27) as a regular or private student. There is no third supplementary opportunity within the same academic year. Results from the failed second main exam are not carried forward — students begin the next cycle fresh.

MPBSE Class 10 Grading System

MPBSE Class 10 uses a nine-point grading scale to assign grades on the marksheet based on the percentage of marks scored in each subject. Grade D (33–40%) is the minimum passing grade; students scoring below 33% receive grade E1 or E2, both of which indicate failure in that subject. To convert your MPBSE CGPA to an approximate percentage, multiply the CGPA by 9.5.

Grade Marks Range (%) Grade Point Classification
A+ 91 – 100 10 Outstanding
A 81 – 90 9 Excellent
B+ 71 – 80 8 Very Good
B 61 – 70 7 Good
C+ 51 – 60 6 Above Average
C 41 – 50 5 Average
D 33 – 40 4 Satisfactory (Minimum Pass)
E1 21 – 32 Fail
E2 00 – 20 Fail

Note: To convert CGPA to approximate percentage for MPBSE, use the formula: Percentage = CGPA × 9.5. For example, a CGPA of 8.0 corresponds to approximately 76%. Grades are assigned per subject based on total marks (theory + internal / practical combined).

MPBSE Class 10 Compartment Exam FAQs

Ques. What is the MPBSE Class 10 Second Main Exam (Supplementary / Compartment Exam)?

Ans. The MPBSE Class 10 Second Main Exam is a re-examination held by the Madhya Pradesh Board of Secondary Education for students who failed, were absent, or want to improve their scores in the annual High School Board Examination. Unlike most boards where a compartment exam is limited to one or two failed subjects, MPBSE allows students who failed in any number of subjects to appear for this second exam.

A key benefit is that students who clear the second main exam receive a regular Class 10 pass certificate with no supplementary tag — the same certificate format as main exam passers, which is not the case for CBSE compartment passers.

All eligible students must be enrolled in or have passed from an MPBSE-affiliated school and must apply within the official window via MPOnline.

Ques. What are the passing marks for MPBSE Class 10 supplementary exam?

Ans. Students must score a minimum of 33% in each subject to pass. For a subject with 75 theory marks: minimum 25 marks in theory. For 25 internal / practical marks: minimum 9 marks. The overall minimum per subject is 33 out of 100. Both components — theory and internal / practical — must be passed independently. Scoring high in internal assessment cannot compensate for failing the theory component.

Ques. When was the MPBSE Class 10 second main exam 2026 held?

Ans. The theory papers were held from May 7 to May 19, 2026, in a single shift from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Practical and internal assessment exams ran from May 5 to May 25, 2026. The application window was April 15–26, 2026, and the result was declared on June 16, 2026.

Ques. Will the MPBSE marksheet show "supplementary" if I pass the second main exam?

Ans. No. MPBSE’s Second Main Exam policy ensures students who pass receive a regular Class 10 (High School) certificate — there is no "supplementary" or "compartment" label on the marksheet.

Ques. What happens if I fail the MPBSE Class 10 second main exam?

Ans. Students who fail the second main exam cannot advance to Class 11. They must re-register and appear for the complete MPBSE Class 10 annual board examination in the next cycle (2026–27) as a regular or private student. There is no third supplementary opportunity within the same academic year. The failed second-main result is not carried forward — the next attempt starts fresh from the annual main exam.

Ques. Is the MPBSE Class 10 second main exam syllabus different from the main exam?

Ans. No. The syllabus for the second main exam is identical to the annual board examination syllabus. There is no reduced or simplified syllabus. Students must prepare from the same MPBSE-prescribed textbooks with full chapter and unit coverage. The question paper format and difficulty level also mirror the main exam, making previous year supplementary papers an effective preparation tool.

Ques. Can a student who already passed appear in the MPBSE Class 10 second main exam to improve their score?

Ans. Yes. MPBSE uniquely permits students who have passed the main Class 10 exam to appear in the Second Main Exam for specific subjects to improve their marks. These improvement candidates apply within the same window (April 15–26, 2026 for the 2026 cycle) and pay the prescribed fee per subject. The higher of the two scores — main exam and second main exam — is reflected on the final marksheet.

Ques. How do I apply for the MPBSE Class 10 second main exam?
