CBSE held the exams for class 10th in March 2017. The results were announced on June 02, 2017. Usually, it is a requirement that the candidate passes all the subjects with minimum marks which are 33% in all the subjects. But, if a student fails to get the minimum marks in two or more subjects, he/ she has to appear for compartment exam. The Board allows such candidates a chance to pass in the subjects which they were unable to clear in the first attempt.

Students will get three chances to clear the compartment exam, meaning that candidate placed in compartment may reappear at the compartmental examination held in July/August and may avail himself/herself of the second chance in March/April next year and may further avail himself/herself of the third chance at the compartmental examination to be held in July/August of that year. He/she will be declared ‘Pass’ provided that he/she qualifies the compartmental subject/subjects in which he/she had failed.

The candidates should not get confused about the difference between appearing for compartment and improvement exam. While the compartment exam only means that the candidate who was not able to clear a subject or two in the first attempt wants to appear for that particular subject only, on the other hand, improvement exam can be referred to as if some student who passed in all the subjects but wishes to improve his/ her marks can appear for the improvement examination of the concerned subject.

CBSE released a circular on 10th June 2017 inviting the students who could not qualify 10th class to apply for appearing for compartment exam. The applications were asked to be made in online mode in the prescribed performa and by paying the requisite amount through challan.

According to press, a total of 8,86,506 candidates registered for class 10th board exam. About 7,81,463 students appeared in CBSE’s school-based exam whereas 8,86,506 students took the board-based exam.
