Who is eligible for the CBSE 12th compartment exam?
Students who failed (got a "compartment") in one or a maximum of two subjects in the Class 12 board result are eligible to retake those subjects. Students who failed in three or more subjects fall under "Essential Repeat" and are not eligible for compartment — they must repeat the year. Also eligible to appear in this July session are 2026 candidates opting to improve one subject and certain previous-year compartment candidates using their final attempt. The passing mark is 33% in each subject.
How to Apply for CBSE 12th Compartment 2026
- School students: approach your school's exam coordinator within 2–3 days of the result. The school fills your details in the LOC on cbseit.in and pays the per-subject fee online before the deadline — you cannot self-apply.
- Private candidates: register/login at cbseit.in (compartment section), fill the form, upload documents, and pay the fee online.
- Download the admit card (school via Pariksha Sangam, private via cbseit.in) in early July.
- Appear for the exam on 15 July 2026.
Application fee and registration route
The fee is charged per subject (reported around ₹300–₹350 per subject for general category — confirm the exact figure on cbse.gov.in before paying, as it varies by source). A late fee applies after the cutoff. The most important point: regular students depend on their school's LOC submission — if your school misses the deadline, you miss the exam, as no applications are accepted after the last date in any mode.
Compartment vs Improvement — don't confuse them
A compartment (supplementary) exam is for students who failed 1–2 subjects and need to clear them to pass. An improvement exam is different — it is for students who already passed but want a higher score, and for Class 12 it is limited to one subject with a best-of-two rule. Applying for the wrong one wastes your single improvement chance.
What happens after passing the compartment exam?
CBSE issues a fresh, revised marksheet showing the cleared subject's new marks and your updated overall status as "Pass", with the compartment result expected around first week of August 2026. Most universities allow provisional admission while you clear the compartment — just be sure to pass before the university's cutoff date.
Practical Tips
- Chase your school's coordinator within 2–3 days of the result — late LOC submission means no exam.
- Verify the exact per-subject fee on cbse.gov.in before paying.
- It's a one-day, single-sitting exam — plan if you have two subjects.
- Clear it in the July attempt if possible to protect college admission and eligibility timelines.
