CBSE uses a combination of absolute marks and a grading system. Here's what you need to know:
| Grade | Marks Range | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | 91 – 100 | Outstanding |
| A2 | 81 – 90 | Excellent |
| B1 | 71 – 80 | Very Good |

Students who fail in one or two subjects in CBSE Class 12 Result 2026 are eligible for the CBSE Compartment Examination 2026. Based on previous years, the CBSE 12th Compartment Exam 2026 is expected in July 2026, with compartment results typically declared in August 2026. Students can apply for the compartment exam at cbse.gov.in once CBSE opens the registration window after the main result declaration.
Not happy with your marks? CBSE provides two official options — verification and re-evaluation. Verification involves checking that all answers were marked and the total was calculated correctly. Re-evaluation involves a second evaluation of your answer sheet by a different examiner. Both processes can be initiated at cbse.gov.in after the result is announced, by paying the prescribed fee per subject. Deadlines for both are typically within 2–4 weeks of result declaration, so act quickly if needed.
