The passing marks for the MP Board exams are 33% for each subject. This means that students need to score at least 33 out of 100 in each subject to pass the exam. In subjects with practical exams, the passing marks are calculated out of a total of 100 marks, which includes both the theory and practical marks. MP Board 10th theory exams are typically worth 80 marks, with 20 marks allocated for practical/internal assessments. For the MPBSE Class 12th exams, the theory papers carry 70 marks, and the practical exams are worth 30 marks.

The MP Board also has a system of awarding grace marks to students who are close to passing.
The MPBSE exam question papers now include objective, subjective, and analytical questions. Theoretical exams will be 3 hours long, while practical exams will be 2 hours. The passing mark is 33% for subjects without a practical component. For subjects with practicals, the minimum passing mark varies.
