Questions related to Odisha CHSE

Have a question related to Odisha CHSE ?

You most likely will still be considered for passing based on the information you provided.

The CHSE Odisha board requires a minimum of 33% marks in each subject (including theory and practical) and an overall aggregate of 33% to pass class 12 exams.Since your failure is in the optional subject, and assuming all other subjects meet the minimum marks (33%), you should be okay.

You need 33% marks in each subject (5 main subjects + 1 optional). If you have 33% or above in all your main subjects, even if you failed the optional subject, your overall aggregate should likely be above 33% (considering the marks of all 6 subjects).

However , to be absolutely certain, it's best to confirm this directly with the CHSE Odisha board or the college you are applying to.

I hope it helps!

Hello Aspirant,

Yes it is possible that examination of any particular subject of all the 3 streams can be conducted on the same day, this is because no candidate would be studying more than 1 stream at once so he/she can easily appear for subject of his/her stream.

See Council of Higher Secondary Education (CHSE), Odisha has not yet released the dates for class 12th examination neither that of practical nor of theory so at this point of time it is highly unpredictable when the exams will be conducted, another reason is that theory exams are expected to be commenced from March mid but till now no schedule has been released by Council of Higher Secondary Education (CHSE), Odisha. Usually practical exams are conducted prior to the theory examinations but same reason applied for practicals as well, no schedule has been released yet.


I hope this information helps you.

Good Luck!!

Hello,

As of now the council of higher secondary examination, odisha which is the conducting authority for class 12th exams hasn't yet released the examination schedule officially,  generally the exams are conducted in the month of March, practical exams are conducted before the theory exam, the official schedule for the exams may get released this month, but it's an expected date only  to know the exact details you may stay updated at the official website at http://chseodisha.nic.in/, or you may also follow our page at https://school.careers360.com/exams/odisha-chse to know the latest information for the same,
