Failing a subject in the SEBA 10th board exams doesn’t mean the end of the road. The SEBA 10th Compartmental Exam 2025 gives students a second chance to clear their backlogs and move forward. But what’s the passing criteria? How’s the exam structured? And when can you expect your scorecard? Whether you’re a student or a parent, this guide breaks down everything—exam pattern, minimum marks required, re-evaluation process, and more—so you’re fully prepared. Let’s dive in!
Not everyone gets a second shot—here’s who qualifies:
✅ Failed in 1 or 2 subjects in the main SEBA HSLC exam. ✅ Absentees with valid reasons (medical/emergency cases). ✅ Students who missed practicals but cleared theory (or vice versa).
If you’ve flunked more than 2 subjects, you’ll need to repeat the entire year.

The compartmental exam follows the same structure as the main board exam. Here’s a quick breakdown:
