What If a Student Fails?

According to CBSE guidelines, students must achieve at least 33 percent in both theory and practical exams to pass. If a student does not pass a subject, there is no need for alarm. The Board provides options such as a 'Compartment Examination' for those who need to retake failed subjects, typically held in July after results are announced. Additionally, students who pass but wish to improve their scores can opt for an 'Improvement Examination'.
