PSEB Class 10 Compartment Exam 2026: Exam Expected July 2026, Eligibility, How to Apply and Result

The PSEB Class 10 Compartment/Supplementary Exam 2026 is conducted by the Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) for students who could not pass in one or two subjects in the main annual examination. Today, June 22, 2026, is the final deadline to register online with a late fee of ₹1,000 — schools must also submit hard-copy forms and fee verification to PSEB by June 26, 2026. The supplementary exam is expected in July–August 2026, and the result is expected in September–October 2026.

PSEB declared the Class 10 Result 2026 on May 11, 2026, recording an overall pass percentage of 94.52%. Out of 2,69,505 students who appeared, 2,54,744 passed — approximately 14,761 students are eligible to apply for the supplementary exam, provided they failed in not more than two subjects. The supplementary exam gives eligible students a second opportunity to clear Class 10 without losing an academic year.

PSEB officially terms this the “Supplementary Examination” or “Reappear Examination” — the same concept is called “Compartment Exam” at the national level by boards such as CBSE. Students who pass the supplementary exam receive a revised mark sheet carrying the notation “Pass (Supplementary/Reappear),” which is fully valid for Class 11 admission and all further studies.

• Students who fail in 1 or 2 subjects in the PSEB Class 10 main exam are eligible for the supplementary exam.
• Online registration with late fee closes today, June 22, 2026; school hard-copy submission deadline is June 26, 2026.
• The total registration fee is ₹1,600 (₹1,350 exam fee + ₹250 practical fee); students applying today additionally pay a late fee of ₹1,000, making the total ₹2,600.
• The PSEB Class 10 supplementary exam 2026 is expected in July–August 2026; the subject-wise date sheet will be released on pseb.ac.in approximately 3–4 weeks before the exam.
• Students must score a minimum of 33 marks out of 100 (33%) in each subject to pass the supplementary exam.
• Students who fail the supplementary exam must repeat Class 10 as regular students in the academic year 2026–27.

PSEB Class 10 Supplementary Exam 2026 — Key Highlights

PSEB Class 10 Compartment Exam Date Sheet 2026

The subject-wise date sheet for the PSEB Class 10 supplementary exam 2026 has not yet been released as of June 22, 2026. PSEB typically releases the supplementary exam schedule 3–4 weeks before the exam begins — the date sheet is expected in July 2026 on the official website pseb.ac.in. In 2025, PSEB conducted the Class 10 supplementary exam in August; a similar July–August 2026 window is expected.

The table below lists all key milestones in the PSEB Class 10 supplementary exam 2026 cycle, with upcoming events first followed by completed events — both groups in chronological order.

Note: The supplementary exam is conducted in a single shift, typically from 10:00 AM to 1:15 PM (including 15 minutes of reading time). Confirm the exact timing from your admit card once released. Do not rely on third-party sources for dates — check only pseb.ac.in for the official date sheet.

PSEB Class 10 Compartment Exam Fee Structure

The total fee for the PSEB Class 10 supplementary exam 2026 is ₹1,600, comprising a ₹1,350 examination fee and a ₹250 practical fee. Students registering today (June 22, 2026) must additionally pay a late fee of ₹1,000, bringing the total payable to ₹2,600. All fees are processed online through the school via the PSEB portal — no direct student payments at the board office are accepted.

Note: The fee structure above is for schools within India. Students from PSEB-affiliated schools outside India should contact the PSEB Examination Branch directly for applicable fees. All fees are non-refundable once the application is submitted and processed by the school.

PSEB Class 10 Passing Marks Criteria 2026

To pass the PSEB Class 10 supplementary exam 2026, students must secure a minimum of 33 marks out of 100 in each subject. The 33% minimum is calculated on the combined total of theory marks and internal assessment marks — you must clear each subject independently, as failing even one subject means you will not be promoted to Class 11.

For most subjects (Punjabi, English, Hindi, Mathematics, Social Science), the theory paper carries 80 marks and internal assessment carries 20 marks. Students must reach the combined 33-mark minimum across these two components.

Is 20 marks out of 80 a passing score in PSEB Class 10 theory?

Yes — for an 80-mark PSEB Class 10 theory paper, the board requires a minimum of 25% in theory, which is 20 marks. Scoring 20 in theory meets the theory threshold, but you still need to add your internal assessment marks and ensure the combined total reaches at least 33 out of 100 to be declared “Pass” in that subject. For example, if you score 20 in theory and 13 in internal assessment, your combined total is 33 — exactly the minimum to pass.

What Happens After Passing the PSEB Class 10 Supplementary Exam?

If you pass the supplementary exam, PSEB issues a revised mark sheet showing your updated marks and the notation “Pass (Supplementary/Reappear).” This revised mark sheet is fully valid for admission to Class 11 in any Punjab government or private school, and for all further academic or government purposes — it carries the same weight as a main-exam pass certificate. Your updated result is reflected on the official PSEB portal. Preserve the supplementary mark sheet along with your main exam mark sheet, as both may be requested during future admissions.

What Happens If You Fail the PSEB Class 10 Supplementary Exam?

Students who fail the PSEB Class 10 supplementary exam cannot be promoted to Class 11 and must repeat the entire Class 10 as regular students in the academic year 2026–27. Re-enrolment is done through a school; the student sits the full PSEB Class 10 annual exam again in February–March 2027. If they then fail in 1–2 subjects in that cycle, they become eligible for the next supplementary exam (expected July–August 2027), restarting the same cycle.

PSEB Class 10 Grading System

PSEB follows a 7-point absolute grading system for Class 10, where grades are assigned based directly on the percentage of marks obtained in each subject. Grades A+ through D indicate a pass; a student who receives an “Unsatisfactory” grade (below 33%) in any subject is required to appear in the supplementary exam (if eligible) or repeat the year.

Students can estimate their subject percentage from the grade point by multiplying the grade point by 9.5. For example, a student with grade B+ (grade point 8) scored approximately 76% in that subject. The overall GPA is the average of grade points across all subjects, and can similarly be converted to an approximate percentage.

Note: A student who receives an Unsatisfactory grade in the main exam but passes the supplementary exam will have their mark sheet updated to reflect the new marks. The supplementary mark sheet is issued as a separate document alongside the original mark sheet.
