CBSE compartment exam date 2026 class 10

The CBSE Class 10 Compartment (Supplementary) Exam 2026 is for students placed in the Compartment category in one or more subjects after the main board exams (typically held in February–March 2026). Eligibility requires failing in one or two subjects (with at least 33% overall or as per rules) in the 2026 main exams, while those declared 'Essential Repeat' or failed may appear as private candidates. Application is usually online via the official CBSE portal (cbse.gov.in or parikshasangam.cbse.gov.in) shortly after results, with schools forwarding regular students' forms and private candidates applying directly; fees are around ₹300–₹2000 per subject (varying by category, with late fees extra). The date sheet for compartment exams is typically released after main results, often scheduled in May–July 2026 (e.g., core subjects like Maths, Science on specific dates in mid-May), allowing students a chance to clear and proceed to Class 11 without losing a year—check cbse.gov.in for the latest official notification, exact schedule, and application link as details are updated post-main exams.
