CBSE Class 12 Admit Card 2027

The 2027 admit card date has not been announced. As per CBSE's private-candidate notice, eligible private candidates will download their admit card from the CBSE website, and the exam centre allotted from their chosen city cannot be changed.

CBSE Class 12 Passing Marks and Exam Pattern

From CBSE's 2026-27 curriculum and the LOC circular's scheme of studies (Annexure J):

• Subjects: minimum 5. Subject 1: Hindi Elective/Core or English Elective/Core; Subject 2: another language or an elective from Group A; Subjects 3–5: electives from Group A or Group S (skill). A 6th additional subject is optional. Health & Physical Education, Work Experience and General Studies are internally assessed for all regular candidates.
• CBSE says it "does not have concept of streams", so students can take any valid 5/6-subject combination offered by the school.
• If a student fails one of the first five subjects, it is replaced by the 6th subject, provided Hindi or English remains among the main five.
• Passing marks: 33 out of 100 per subject, per CBSE's 2026-27 Class XII subject table. Examples of theory + practical/IA split: Physics 70+30, Chemistry 70+30, Geography 70+30, Psychology 70+30, Mathematics 80+20, Economics 80+20, History 80+20, Political Science 80+20, Sociology 80+20.
• Grading: 9-point positional grading in each elective subject (A-1 for the top 1/8th of passed candidates to D-2; E = Essential Repeat).
• CBSE does not calculate an aggregate percentage, declare a merit list or award divisions.

CBSE Class 12 Supplementary Exam and Result 2026

CBSE's Class XII supplementary examination is for: compartment candidates (did not qualify in one of the five main subjects), candidates with six subjects who passed by replacement but want to clear the failed main subject, and improvement candidates (passed, improving one subject).
