I have got 85%+ in my 12th boards. Can I get scholarship (in any field) by CBSE? I am preparing for NIFT.

CBSE maintains a consistent passing criteria of 33%. Any changes to passing marks are officially notified by CBSE.

If a student fails in one subject in CBSE Class 12, they become eligible for the compartment exam. Passing the exam allows the student to be declared passed without repeating the year.

It is compulsory to pass in CBSE Class 12 internal assessment. Students will be considered as fail if they don't qualify in internal assessment.

Many CBSE Class 12 follows an 80-mark theory and 20-mark internal assessment pattern. In such cases, students must secure a minimum of 26 marks out of 80 in the theory paper and 7 marks out of 20 in internal assessment.

CBSE may award grace marks in exceptional cases where a student falls short of passing by a small margin. It is given at the discretion of the board.
