The Council of Higher Secondary Education (CHSE), Odisha, has set specific passing criteria for Class 12. Students must achieve the minimum required marks in theory papers separately, as internal assessment or practical marks will not contribute to passing the theory exam. The Odisha Class 12 exam is scheduled to be held from February 18 to March 25, 2026.

To pass the Odisha CHSE 12th exams, students must score:

  • 30% of full marks in theory exams, regardless of internal marks.

  • Overall minimum passing marks, including practical/internal assessment.

For example, in subjects like English, History, and Political Science, where the full marks for theory are 80, a student must score at least 24 marks in theory to pass. Even if a student scores well in internal assessments, failing to secure 24 out of 80 in theory will result in failing the subject.
