Exam Compartment

If you have been declared pass in ISC 12th board exam despite failing in an optional subject like Maths then you do not need to appear for compartment exams. ISC board follows a process of awarding grace marks or moderation in case a student has failed in any one of the subjects but has scored the required passing marks overall. This is called the Compartmental Scheme. If you have cleared the board examination by scoring the required passing marks overall, then you have been granted the benefit of the Compartmental Scheme and you are declared pass by the board. Therefore, you do not need to appear for compartment exams. However, if you wish to improve your marks in Maths you can appear for the ISC Improvement Examination or Reappear Examination in the subject. The Improvement Examination is generally conducted in the month of July every year. You can contact the ISC board authorities or your school for more information on the Improvement Examination and the application process.
