Exam Compartment

No, if you received RT (compartment) in three subjects from the CBSE, you are not eligible to take a compartment exam. According to CBSE regulations, you can only take the compartment exam if you failed one subject on the board exams for Class 10 or 12. You will have to retake all subjects in the upcoming annual board exam if you fail more than one.

To get the PDF of 2nd PUC (Karnataka) supplementary question papers, you should visit the official Department of Pre-University Education Karnataka website (pue.karnataka.gov.in). 

1. Official Website:

The primary source for official question papers is the Department of Pre-University Education Karnataka's website. Look for sections related to "Downloads," "Question Papers," or similar categories. 

You may also find scanned copies of previous years' question papers on the official website or other platforms, which can be helpful for practice. 

Earlier, Class 11 Chemistry included full chapters on Hydrogen and s-block elements, covering topics like isotopes, hydrides, alkali and alkaline earth metals. But in the new supplementary syllabus, both Chapter 9 and 10 have been completely removed to reduce academic load. These deletions are part of NCERT's rationalization under NEP 2020. So now, you won't find hydrogen or s-block topics in your core syllabus, though they still matter for competitive exams like NEET or JEE.

The CBSE Class 12 compartment exams for 2025 are scheduled to be held in July. Specifically, the exams are expected to take place from July 15, 2025. The practical exams are scheduled from July 10 to July 15, 2025. The admit cards for these exams are likely to be released in late June. The results for the compartment exams are expected to be announced in August. 

If you have already cleared your compartment exam and applied for improvement but remain absent, it will not affect your previously cleared result. Your the latest mark sheet will reflect the better of the two scores, provided you appear. However, being absent in improvement means your previous marks stand valid. The CBSE board treats improvement exams as an opportunity to enhance marks, not as a compulsory attempt. Ensure that your documents, such as pass certificates, are updated accordingly. It is always best to attend if you want to strengthen your academic record.

Most boards (CBSE/state) conduct compartment/supplementary exams in June–July. If your board allows up to two or three subjects, you're fine; if not, you may have to repeat the year or use NIOS. Immediately check your board's 2025 supplementary circular, fill the compartment form, pay the prescribed fee, and focus on only those syllabi. Colleges will accept you once you clear within the same academic cycle—keep proof of appearing in supplementary safe.

Yes it is generally possible to get admission to a B.Tech programme with a backlog in your Polytechnic Diploma but you likely need to clear the backlog before. The  colleges usually require all backlogs to be cleared before any entry for the BTech program.

The last date to submit the CBSE Class 12 supplementary exam fee without a late charge is June 17, 2025. If missed, you can still apply with a late fee during June 18–19, 2025, but no submissions will be accepted after June 19 .

In the case of CBSE, normally you have three chances to pass a compartment exam three chances to pass a compartment exam: one in July August the same year you failed it, one in March April next year (when the main board exams are offered) and a third in July August in the same year. Because you were defeated in 2023, your three chances probably would have been July/August 2023, March/April 2024 and July/August 2024. So chances are very less that you can take a compartment exam in 2025. As a private candidate, you would have to rewrite all the subjects.
