The JKBOSE Class 12 passing criteria are targeted to evaluate students' comprehensive understanding across both theory and practical components. Below is a detailed explanation of these criteria:
Students must secure a minimum of 33% marks in the General English subject to pass.
For each of the four elective subjects, the minimum percentage of passing marks is 36%.
Students must ensure they achieve 36% marks in every elective subject to meet the passing criteria.
In subjects that include practical examinations, students must meet the following conditions:
Theory Passing Marks: A minimum of 36% is required in the theory component.
Practical Passing Marks: A minimum of 36% is required in the practical examination, which includes both the practical test and internal assessment.
Aggregate Passing Marks: Students must also achieve 36% in the combined total of theory and practical marks.
The internal assessment is an important aspect of practical subjects and must meet the passing criteria independently. Failing to achieve 36% in either the practical test or internal assessment will result in failing the subject.
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.
The notional marks do not apply to practical examinations, including internal assessments and external practical tests.
Note: The notional marks may be considered similar to grace marks.
Students must secure a minimum of 33% in each subject to pass Class 10 exams.
The passing percentage for General English is 33%.
Yes, students must secure at least 36% in both theory and practical exams separately, as well as in the aggregate.

Hello Aspirant,
The central board of secondary education has decided to reduce the syllabus by 30 percent due to the loss of academic instruction time.They have deleted various topics across streams in wake of the covid 19 pandemic and they delays caused by the same.
Being someone who just passed out from 12th grade in the year 2020 I believe a number of significant topics have been scrapped off ,which were relevant particularly in the case of political science .
