CBSE Class 12 Passing Criteria

Full page

To pass CBSE Class 12, you need to clear each subject with the minimum marks required, in both theory and practical/internal assessment.

Passing Rules

Rule	Details
Minimum marks per subject	33%
Theory and practical	Must be passed separately
Main subjects	Five subjects are counted, including Hindi or English
Additional subject	Can replace a failed main subject, keeping the language condition
Fail in a subject	Placed in compartment and can take the supplementary exam (as per CBSE rules)
Grade E	Essential Repeat

Example

In Physics (70 theory + 30 practical), a student must score at least the pass mark in the theory paper and in the practical component — scoring high in practicals alone will not pass the subject if the theory score is below the pass mark.

Key Takeaways
33% is required in each subject.
Pass theory and practical separately.
A failed subject can be cleared through the supplementary exam or replaced by the additional subject (as per rules).

Pro Tip: Never ignore the theory paper in practical-heavy subjects — the separate pass rule applies to both parts.
