Once released, the results can be checked by visiting the official CBSE website, cbse.gov.in. In addition to checking their scores, students can download their scorecards. In this context, it is also crucial for students to understand the minimum passing marks, as well as the steps to take if they receive low marks in a particular subject. So, let us explore the passing criteria and the rules regarding grace marks.
What is the Passing Criteria?
To pass the CBSE Class 10 examination, students must secure a minimum of 33% marks in each subject. This includes marks obtained in both the theory examination and internal assessments. If a subject comprises separate theory and practical components, students must secure 33 marks in *each* of these components to be declared passed in that subject.

What are Grace Marks?
It often happens that students fail in one or two subjects due to a minor shortfall in marks. In such instances, the CBSE Board extends the facility of “grace marks.” This provision is available specifically to students who are on the verge of failing by a very narrow margin. The application of grace marks is entirely subject to the Board’s regulations.
The Option of Compartment Exams
If a student does not benefit from the grace marks provision, CBSE offers an additional opportunity known as the “Compartment Exam.” In this examination, the student appears only for the specific subject(s) in which they have failed. This examination is typically conducted shortly after the announcement of the main results.
