The passing marks of the NIOS 10th board examinations are usually taken to be at 33 percent marks in any given subject. Therefore, as far as any exam is considered, students require achieving at least 33% marks in their respective theory, practical, etc. If students have failed any one of them, they would also be getting the chance through a compartment examination for the student.

Yet, it is always wise to check the latest passing criteria as offered in the official guidelines of the respective NIOS.
