CBSE has begun Class 12 supplementary practical examinations for compartment-category students on Wednesday, with the exams set to continue until August 4.
The practicals apply to students placed in the compartment category due to a Repeat Practical (RP) or Repeat Theory and Practical Both (RB) requirement in one or more subjects.
Students in the RP category, who failed only the practical portion, only need to sit the practical exam, as their previous theory marks carry forward unchanged.
Students in the RB category, who must clear both theory and practical components, are required to appear for both parts of the supplementary examination.
CBSE had directed eligible students to contact their school or examination centre by July 27 with their result or marksheet copy and admit card to confirm scheduling details.
Regular students will appear for the practicals at their own schools, while private candidates will use the centres assigned for their theory exams, with CBSE regional offices arranging alternate venues where laboratory facilities are unavailable.
External examiners for the practical exams are appointed only by CBSE regional offices, while internal examiners are drawn from each school’s own teaching staff.
Practical marks are required to be uploaded on the same day as the exam and become final immediately, with no provision for later changes.
Compartment results are usually declared by CBSE within three to four weeks of the exams, pointing to an announcement in the first half of August this year; students will be able to access the result via cbse.gov.in and DigiLocker using their roll number, school number, centre number and admit card ID.
CBSE typically finalises and uploads Class 12 supplementary results within a few weeks of the exams concluding, allowing eligible students to proceed with college admissions without a long delay.
The supplementary examination window gives compartment-category students a chance to clear pending subjects within the same academic year, rather than waiting for the next annual cycle.
