APDHTE Class X Compartment Exam 2027: Expected July 2027, Eligibility, How to Apply and Result

The APDHTE Class X Board Compartment Exam 2027 is a second-chance examination for students who fail in one or two subjects in the main annual board exam conducted by the Arunachal Pradesh Department of Higher & Technical Education. Based on the 2026 cycle, the 2027 compartment exam is expected in July–August 2027, following the main Class X result declaration in May–June 2027. As of September 2026, the official 2027 compartment exam schedule has not been announced; the main board examination is still several months away, and this article draws on the 2026 cycle pattern as the authoritative reference.

Students who score below the minimum passing marks in one or two subjects in the main Class X annual examination are eligible for the compartment exam. The minimum passing threshold is 33% in each subject, applied independently to the theory component and the internal/practical assessment — both must be cleared separately. Clearing the compartment exam earns a regular Class X pass certificate with the notation "Pass (Compartment)", which is accepted for Class XI admission and employment purposes.

Students who fail to clear the compartment exam must re-enrol as regular Class X students for the next annual session. The compartment scheme exists specifically to prevent students from losing a full academic year over failure in one or two subjects.

• Students who fail in 1 or 2 subjects in the APDHTE Class X main exam are eligible for the compartment exam; failure in 3 or more subjects means repeating Class X.
• The APDHTE Class X Compartment Exam 2027 is expected to be conducted in July–August 2027 at designated exam centres across Arunachal Pradesh.
• Compartment registration is expected to open in June 2027, shortly after the main Class X result is declared.
• The compartment exam follows the same syllabus, question pattern, and marks distribution as the main annual Class X board examination.
• Clearing compartment earns a Pass (Compartment) Class X certificate — fully valid for further education and employment.
• Students who fail the compartment exam have up to three total attempts before they must repeat Class X as a regular student.
• Admit cards are typically issued 10–15 days before the exam date through the student’s school or designated examination centre.

APDHTE Class X Board Compartment Exam 2027 — Overview

The Arunachal Pradesh Department of Higher & Technical Education (APDHTE) administers the Class X Board examination annually for students enrolled across government and private schools in the state. The compartment examination is conducted once a year, typically two to three months after the main exam result. In 2026, the main Class X exam was held in March–April and the compartment exam followed in July–August — the 2027 cycle is projected to follow the same timeline. All students who receive a compartment grading in one or two subjects are identified by the board from the main result data; their schools then assist with registration. The official 2027 dates, fees, and subject-wise timetable will be notified on the APDHTE portal after the main results are declared in May–June 2027.

APDHTE Class X Compartment Exam Datesheet 2027

The official compartment exam datesheet for 2027 will be released on the APDHTE portal after the main Class X result is declared. Based on the 2026 cycle, compartment registration is expected in June 2027, with the examination window in July–August 2027 and results in August–September 2027. The subject-wise timetable — specifying which paper falls on which date and time — will be notified at least four weeks before the exam starts. Students should monitor the official APDHTE website regularly after the May–June 2027 main result announcement.

Note: All dates above are projected based on the 2026 cycle and are tentative. The official 2027 compartment exam notification — including the confirmed subject-wise timetable, registration dates, and fees — will be published on the APDHTE official website after the main Class X result is declared. Students should verify all dates from the official portal before acting.

APDHTE Class X Compartment Exam Fee Structure

Students must pay the prescribed examination fee when registering for the compartment exam. The fee is charged per subject, so students appearing in two subjects pay for each separately. A late fee applies if registration is completed after the standard deadline specified in the notification. The figures below reflect the 2026 fee structure as a reference — the official 2027 fees will be published in the compartment notification on the APDHTE website after the main result, and may be revised upward.

Note: Fee amounts above are indicative, based on the 2026 compartment cycle. Never pay any fee without first confirming the current amount in the official APDHTE notification to avoid underpayment (which can invalidate your registration) or overpayment. Fee payment is typically made through the school office for regular students and at the district examination office for private students.

APDHTE Class X Passing Marks Criteria 2027

Students appearing in the APDHTE Class X Compartment Exam 2027 must score a minimum of 33% marks in each subject to pass. The 33% threshold applies independently to both the theory component and the internal/practical assessment — a student must clear each component separately, and clearing only the theory portion while falling short in internal (or vice versa) does not count as a pass in that subject.

Internal assessment marks are carried forward from the main academic session and are not re-evaluated for the compartment exam. Students therefore appear only for the theory paper. Students whose internal marks already clear the 33% bar can direct their full preparation effort toward the theory component, since the practical/internal portion is already locked in from the main session.

Is 27 a Passing Mark out of 80 in APDHTE Class X?

Yes. 27 marks out of 80 is the minimum passing mark for theory papers carrying 80 marks in the APDHTE Class X examination — because 33% of 80 equals 26.4, which rounds up to 27. For the Science theory paper (70 marks), the threshold rounds up to 24 (33% of 70 = 23.1). Scoring exactly the minimum in theory is sufficient to clear that component, but the internal/practical component must still independently meet its own 33% bar. A student who scores 27 in theory but only 5 in internal assessment remains fail in that subject despite their total being above 33 — the per-component rule is strict.

APDHTE Class X Grading System

The APDHTE Class X Board uses a letter-grade and grade-point system on the mark sheet. Grades A1 and A2 represent the highest performance bands (81–100%), while grades E1 and E2 indicate failure — E1 (21–32 marks) typically qualifies a student for compartment status, while E2 (0–20 marks) generally does not. Students who clear the compartment exam receive a grade of D or above for the cleared subject; the certificate carries a "Pass (Compartment)" notation to indicate the mode of clearance, but the grade itself reflects the marks earned in the compartment paper.

Note: E1 students (21–32 marks in a subject) are generally granted compartment status and may appear for the compartment exam. E2 students (0–20 marks) typically cannot appear for compartment in that subject and must repeat Class X. Confirm the exact eligibility cut-off marks in the official APDHTE notification, as the board may specify thresholds that differ slightly from the grade boundaries above.
