For each of the four elective subjects, the minimum percentage of passing marks is 36%.

JKBOSE provides a notional marks concession to help candidates who narrowly miss passing criteria in theory exams. The details are as follows:
Candidates failing in one or more subjects by a margin of up to 5 marks can receive the required marks to pass.
These marks are not added to the subject marks or the total aggregate but are granted solely to help the candidate pass the exam.
