CBSE’s Class 12 compartment exam was held today, July 28, in a single shift across the country.
Around 1.89 lakh students who had been placed in the compartment category this year were eligible to sit for the exam.
The board scheduled major academic subjects from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm.
Skill and elective papers, such as Painting, Yoga, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and Hindustani Music, ran in a shorter window from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm.
Each candidate was allowed to appear in only one compartment subject this year.
The exam came after CBSE had earlier issued admit cards, which students needed to bring to their exam centres along with valid photo identification.
Results are expected once the board’s broader supplementary exam schedule, which runs from July 29 to August 4 for other categories, is complete.
CBSE had earlier released the compartment admit card for candidates, which was mandatory to carry to the exam centre today along with a valid photo identity document, in line with the board’s standard exam-day requirements.
Exam centres were instructed to follow standard CBSE protocols for the compartment exam, including frisking and identity verification, similar to procedures followed during the main board examinations held earlier in the year.
Students who clear their compartment paper will have their results reflected as a pass for the academic year, allowing them to proceed with admissions to undergraduate courses or other next steps without further delay.
The compartment system applies only to students who failed to clear one subject in their original Class 12 board examination, with those who fell short in more than one subject required to reappear for the full set of papers in a subsequent academic year instead.
CBSE has typically declared compartment exam results within a few weeks of the exam being held, giving affected students clarity on their academic status well before most undergraduate admission cycles conclude for the year.
