The Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (GBSHSE) conducts the Class X Supplementary Examination — commonly referred to as the compartment exam — every year for students who fail in one or two subjects in the main SSC board examination. Students who fail in more than two subjects are not eligible for the GBSHSE Class X Supplementary Exam and must repeat the academic year in full. Based on previous cycles, the GBSHSE Class X Compartment Exam 2027 is expected to be held in July–August 2027, approximately six to eight weeks after the declaration of the main board result in May/June 2027.

The GBSHSE supplementary examination gives students a crucial second chance to clear their Class X board without losing an academic year. You need to secure at least 35% marks in each subject — both theory and practical — to pass the GBSHSE Class X Compartment Exam. Once you clear the compartment exam, your GBSHSE mark sheet is updated to reflect a pass status, recorded as "Passed in Supplementary Examination," for the current academic year.

This page covers everything you need to know about the GBSHSE Class X Compartment Exam 2027 — eligibility rules, expected dates, the application process, exam pattern, passing criteria, and what happens after the result.

  • Students who fail in 1 or 2 subjects in the GBSHSE Class X main exam are eligible for the supplementary (compartment) exam.
  • The GBSHSE Class X Compartment Exam 2027 is expected in July–August 2027, following the main board result in May/June 2027.
  • You must register within the prescribed window after the result and pay the applicable fee per subject at your school or through the official GBSHSE portal.
  • Passing the compartment exam means your mark sheet will reflect Pass (Supplementary Examination) for the 2026–27 academic year.
  • Students who fail the compartment exam must re-appear in the next annual GBSHSE Class X exam cycle as private or regular candidates.
  • The compartment exam syllabus is identical to the main GBSHSE Class X board exam — no separate or reduced syllabus applies.
  • All GBSHSE Class X compartment exams are conducted in offline (pen-and-paper) mode at designated centres across Goa.

GBSHSE Class X Compartment Exam 2027

The GBSHSE Class X Supplementary Examination is a well-established pathway for students who narrowly miss the passing mark in one or two subjects. In previous cycles, a significant number of students have used this window to clear their Class X without repeating the year — making early registration and focused preparation the key priorities once the main result is declared. The 2027 compartment cycle will follow the same structure as earlier years: result announcement → registration window → admit card release → examination → result — all within approximately two months of the main board result.

GBSHSE Class X Compartment Date Sheet 2027

The GBSHSE Class X Compartment/Supplementary Exam 2027 is expected to take place in July–August 2027, following the announcement of the main SSC result in May/June 2027. The official datesheet for the 2027 compartment exam has not yet been released — it will be published on the GBSHSE official website (gbshse.in) after the main board result is declared. Based on the pattern of previous cycles, the registration window typically opens within one to two weeks of the result, with the examination following four to six weeks later.

All dates in the table below are tentative projections based on GBSHSE’s historical cycle timelines. The 2027 main exam cycle has not yet commenced as of today (July 30, 2026), so no official 2027 dates have been released. Students must watch gbshse.in for confirmed announcements.

GBSHSE Class X Compartment Admit Card 2027

The GBSHSE Class X Compartment Exam Admit Card 2027 will be issued to all registered students approximately two to three weeks before the examination. Appearing in the GBSHSE compartment exam without a valid admit card is not permitted — you must carry it to the exam centre on every exam day along with a government-issued photo identity proof. The admit card will contain your roll number, examination centre name and address, subject-wise date and time of the exam, and important instructions for exam day.

  • Regular School Students: Admit cards are typically distributed through your school. Contact your school office or principal to collect the admit card once GBSHSE releases it.
  • Private / Ex-Regular Students: Private candidates can download the admit card directly from the GBSHSE official website (gbshse.in) using their registration number and date of birth.

If you notice any error on your admit card — such as a wrong name, subject, or centre — report it immediately to your school or directly to the GBSHSE office. Do not wait until exam day; corrections must be sought well in advance. Carry at least two copies of your admit card to each exam session.

Where are GBSHSE Class X Compartment Exams Held?

The GBSHSE Class X Supplementary/Compartment Examination 2027 will be conducted at designated examination centres across the state of Goa. These are typically the same centres used for the main SSC board examination. Your allotted examination centre is printed on your admit card — visit the centre at least once before the exam date to avoid confusion on exam day. Centre changes are not normally permitted once allotted, so plan your travel and timing accordingly.

GBSHSE Class X Compartment Exam Syllabus

The syllabus for the GBSHSE Class X Compartment/Supplementary Exam 2027 is exactly the same as the main SSC board examination syllabus. There is no separate, reduced, or modified syllabus for the compartment exam — you must prepare the complete prescribed syllabus for each subject in which you are appearing. GBSHSE follows the curriculum laid out in the official syllabus documents for Class X, aligned with the prescribed GBSHSE/NCERT textbooks.

Since the compartment exam covers the same content as the main board exam, the most effective preparation strategy is to revisit all chapters, focus specifically on units and question types where you lost marks in your original attempt, and practise previous year question papers under timed conditions. The full subject-wise syllabus is available on the GBSHSE official website.

GBSHSE Class X Compartment Exam Pattern 2027

The GBSHSE Class X Compartment Exam 2027 follows the same paper format and marking scheme as the main SSC board examination. All papers are conducted in offline (pen-and-paper) mode, with a duration of three hours per paper, and you only appear in the subject(s) you failed — your marks in already-passed subjects carry forward. Subjects with a practical component (such as Science & Technology) require you to appear in the theory paper; practical marks secured in the main exam are typically carried forward and not re-tested in the supplementary exam, though students should confirm this with GBSHSE at the time of registration.

Subject Theory Marks Practical / Internal Assessment Key Sections Types of Questions
English 80 20 (Internal Assessment) Reading Comprehension, Writing Skills, Grammar, Literature MCQ, Short Answer, Long Answer, Essay
Second Language (Konkani / Hindi / Marathi / Urdu) 80 20 (Internal Assessment) Prose, Poetry, Grammar, Composition MCQ, Short Answer, Long Answer, Translation
Mathematics 80 20 (Internal Assessment) Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Statistics, Probability MCQ, Short Answer, Problem Solving, Proofs

Note: The marks distribution above is indicative, based on the standard GBSHSE Class X pattern from previous cycles. Official confirmation of the 2027 exam pattern will be provided by GBSHSE in the examination notification.

Previous Year Question Papers with Solutions PDF

Practising previous year question papers is one of the most effective strategies for GBSHSE Class X Compartment Exam preparation. Past papers reveal the actual question format, the distribution of marks across sections, and the topics that are tested most frequently — giving you a strategic advantage that reading the textbook alone cannot provide. GBSHSE Class X question papers from previous years are available on the official Goa Board website and through your school.

How to Use Previous Year Papers for GBSHSE Compartment Exam Preparation

Attempt each previous year paper in strict exam conditions — three hours, no breaks, no textbook assistance. After completing the paper, review your answers against the model solutions and note precisely which questions or topics cost you marks. Repeating this process across at least three to five years of previous compartment papers builds the time-management skills and answer-structuring habits that directly raise your score in the actual exam. Pay special attention to question patterns in sections that carry the highest marks in your failed subject.

GBSHSE Class X Compartment Exam Eligibility Criteria 2027

To be eligible for the GBSHSE Class X Supplementary Examination 2027, you must have appeared in the main SSC board examination conducted by GBSHSE and failed in a maximum of two subjects. Students who fail in three or more subjects in the GBSHSE Class X main exam are not eligible for the compartment/supplementary exam — they must re-enroll and repeat the full academic year.

Private candidates and ex-regular students who appeared as independent examinees in the GBSHSE Class X exam may also be eligible for the supplementary examination in specific cases, subject to GBSHSE’s prevailing rules. Eligibility is assessed individually based on the student’s result profile in the main exam — confirm your eligibility status through your school or directly from the GBSHSE office once the result is declared.

Criteria Details Key Insights
Number of Failed Subjects Failed in 1 or 2 subjects in the GBSHSE Class X main exam Failing in 3 or more subjects disqualifies you from the supplementary exam.
Type of Student Regular school students and eligible private / ex-regular candidates Private candidates must verify their eligibility with GBSHSE directly before applying.
Exam Appearance Must have appeared and sat the main GBSHSE Class X exam Students absent from the main exam are generally not eligible for the supplementary exam.

What is the Rule of the Compartment Exam in GBSHSE Class X?

  • Regular Students: If you fail in 1 or 2 subjects in the GBSHSE Class X main exam, you are granted a supplementary (compartment) exam in those specific subjects only. Marks in all other passed subjects carry forward and are not re-tested.
  • Private / Ex-Regular Candidates: Ex-regular students re-appearing in specific subjects may be eligible for the supplementary exam under GBSHSE’s current rules. Such students should contact the GBSHSE office directly to confirm their eligibility before applying.
  • Improvement Candidates: Students applying for improvement of marks (not failure cases) are governed by a separate process under GBSHSE rules and are generally not covered under the standard supplementary exam scheme — verify the applicable rules with your school or GBSHSE.

How Many Chances Are Given in GBSHSE Class X Compartment?

GBSHSE typically provides one immediate supplementary attempt in the cycle immediately following the main exam failure. Students who fail the supplementary exam as well may re-appear as private or regular candidates in subsequent GBSHSE Class X exam cycles. The number of permitted attempts is governed by GBSHSE regulations, which can be revised — students should always verify the current rules from the official GBSHSE notification at the time of their exam cycle. Based on historical practice, there is no hard cap on the total number of times a student may attempt the GBSHSE Class X exam across cycles, but each cycle provides only one supplementary window.

GBSHSE Class X Compartment Exam — Number of Attempts

Attempt Tentative Schedule Notes
First Attempt (Supplementary Exam) July – August 2027 Conducted immediately after the main SSC 2027 result; only failed subject(s) are attempted.
Subsequent Attempt (if Supplementary Failed) March – April 2028 (as Private / Regular Candidate) Students re-appear in the full next annual GBSHSE Class X cycle for the remaining failed subject(s).

GBSHSE Class X Compartment Exam Fee Structure

Students must pay the prescribed examination fee at the time of registering for the GBSHSE Class X Supplementary/Compartment Exam 2027. The fee is charged on a per-subject basis — students appearing in two subjects must pay the fee for each subject separately, and late registration attracts an additional late fee. The exact 2027 fee amounts will be notified by GBSHSE alongside the official compartment exam notification after the main result. The figures below are indicative, drawn from previous GBSHSE cycles.

Candidate Category Fee per Subject (Expected) Late Fee — Additional (Expected)
Regular Students (Goa Board Schools) ₹100 – ₹200 (approx.) ₹100 – ₹200 (approx.)
Private / Ex-Regular Candidates ₹150 – ₹250 (approx.) ₹100 – ₹200 (approx.)

Note: The fee figures above are tentative estimates based on previous GBSHSE compartment exam cycles. The confirmed fee for 2027 will be published in the official GBSHSE notification. Payment is typically made via your school (for regular students) or through the prescribed challan/online payment mode specified by GBSHSE (for private candidates).

Regular school students should apply through their school, as the school submits a consolidated list of compartment exam applicants to GBSHSE. Private candidates must follow the registration procedure outlined in the official GBSHSE notification. Keep a receipt of your fee payment — it will be required if any discrepancy arises in your registration status.

GBSHSE Class X Passing Marks Criteria 2027

To pass the GBSHSE Class X Compartment/Supplementary Exam 2027, you must secure a minimum of 35% marks in the subject(s) you are re-appearing in — independently in both the theory paper and the practical/internal assessment component, wherever applicable. Securing 35% overall (combined theory + practical) is not sufficient if you fall below 35% in the theory component alone — both the theory and practical minimums must be met independently.

Internal assessment and practical marks secured during the main board exam are generally carried forward to the supplementary exam. This means you only re-sit the theory paper in most cases; the combined result then determines your final mark and pass/fail status. Once you pass the compartment exam, your updated GBSHSE Class X mark sheet will show the marks secured in the supplementary exam for the failed subject(s), with the notation "Passed in Supplementary Examination."

Subject Theory Marks Practical / Internal Marks Min. Passing Marks (Theory) Min. Passing Marks (Practical / Internal) Total Min. Passing Marks
English 80 20 28 (35% of 80) 7 (35% of 20) 35 (35% of 100)
Second Language 80 20 28 (35% of 80) 7 (35% of 20) 35 (35% of 100)
Mathematics 80 20 28 (35% of 80) 7 (35% of 20) 35 (35% of 100)
Science & Technology 60 40 21 (35% of 60) 14 (35% of 40) 35 (35% of 100)
Social Science 80 20 28 (35% of 80) 7 (35% of 20) 35 (35% of 100)

Is 28 the Passing Mark Out of 80 in GBSHSE Class X?

Yes. For GBSHSE Class X theory papers that carry 80 marks, the minimum passing marks is 28 — which is exactly 35% of 80. A student who scores 27 out of 80 in theory would still be marked as a fail in that subject, even if their combined percentage with practicals looks close to passing. The 35% threshold applies to the theory component and the practical component separately, not just to the total. This is a critical distinction: your internal/practical marks alone cannot compensate for falling below 28 in an 80-mark theory paper.

GBSHSE Class X — Minimum Passing Marks Quick Reference

Theory Paper Total Marks 35% of Total Minimum Passing Marks
80 28.0 28
60 21.0 21
40 14.0 14
20 7.0 7
100 35.0 35

The GBSHSE Class X Compartment Exam 2027 result is expected to be declared in August–September 2027. Once declared, students can check their result on the official GBSHSE website. If you pass the supplementary exam, GBSHSE issues a revised mark sheet for the 2026–27 academic year — this mark sheet is the document required for Class XI admission and other purposes. If you fail, the result notification and your school will guide you on the next steps, which typically involve re-appearing in the full exam cycle as a private or regular candidate the following year.

GBSHSE Class X Grading System

GBSHSE Class X results are awarded using a letter-grade system derived from the marks secured across all subjects. Grade D (35%–49%) represents the minimum passing level — students who secure below 35% in any subject receive a fail grade and become eligible for the supplementary exam if only 1 or 2 subjects are below the threshold. Understanding the grading bands helps you interpret your mark sheet accurately and plan your compartment exam preparation with a clear target in mind.

Grade Marks Range (%) Performance Level
A+ 90 – 100 Outstanding
A 75 – 89 Excellent
B 60 – 74 Very Good
C 50 – 59 Good
D 35 – 49 Satisfactory / Pass
E (Supplementary) Below 35 in 1–2 subjects Eligible for Supplementary / Compartment Exam
F (Fail) Below 35 in 3 or more subjects Not eligible for compartment exam; must repeat the year

Note: The grade bands above are indicative and based on standard GBSHSE Class X practice from recent cycles. GBSHSE may revise grading boundaries at its discretion. Always refer to your official GBSHSE mark sheet or the official website for the confirmed grade-wise breakdown for your batch.

GBSHSE Class X Compartment Exam FAQs

Ques. What is the GBSHSE Class X Compartment Exam?

Ans. The GBSHSE Class X Compartment Exam — officially called the Supplementary Examination by the Goa Board — is a second-chance examination for students who fail in 1 or 2 subjects in the main SSC board exam.

Ans. Students who appeared in the GBSHSE Class X main exam 2027 and failed in a maximum of 2 subjects are eligible. Students who fail in 3 or more subjects are not eligible and must repeat the year. Private and ex-regular candidates may also be eligible in specific cases — they should verify with the GBSHSE office directly once the main result is declared.

Ques. When will the GBSHSE Class X Compartment Exam 2027 be held?

The schedule will be published on gbshse.in after the 2027 main result is out.

Ques. What are the passing marks for the GBSHSE Class X Compartment Exam?

Ans. You need to secure a minimum of 35% marks in each subject to pass the GBSHSE Class X Compartment Exam. For a theory paper carrying 80 marks, the minimum passing marks is 28. For Science & Technology (60-mark theory paper), the minimum is 21. Both the theory and practical/internal minimums must be met independently — you cannot compensate for a low theory score with practical marks.

Ques. Is the syllabus for the GBSHSE Class X compartment exam different from the main exam?

Ans. No. The syllabus for the GBSHSE Class X supplementary exam is exactly the same as the main board examination. There is no reduced or separate syllabus for compartment students. You must prepare the complete prescribed syllabus for every subject in which you are re-appearing.

Ans. If you pass the supplementary exam, GBSHSE issues a revised mark sheet for the current academic year (2026–27) that reflects your updated marks in the passed subject(s). The mark sheet will carry the notation "Passed in Supplementary Examination." This revised mark sheet is the document accepted for Class XI admissions, college applications, and other official purposes. You do not lose the academic year.

Ques. What happens if I fail the GBSHSE Class X Compartment Exam?

Ans. If you fail the supplementary exam, you will need to re-appear in the failed subject(s) in the next GBSHSE Class X exam cycle — either by repeating the year as a regular student or by registering as a private/ex-regular candidate in the following year’s main examination. This means a delay of approximately one academic year. It is strongly advisable to put in focused, structured preparation before the compartment exam to avoid this outcome.

Ques. Can I appear in the GBSHSE compartment exam for more than 2 subjects?

Ans. No. The GBSHSE Class X supplementary/compartment exam permits a maximum of 2 subjects. If you have failed in more than 2 subjects in the main exam, you are not eligible for the compartment scheme and must re-register for the full next exam cycle.

Ques. How do I apply for the GBSHSE Class X Compartment Exam 2027?

Ans. Once GBSHSE releases the official compartment exam notification after the main 2027 result, you must register within the announced window. Regular school students apply through their school — the school consolidates and forwards the application to GBSHSE. Private and ex-regular candidates typically apply directly via the GBSHSE portal or through the prescribed offline process. The applicable fee must be paid per subject at the time of registration.

Ques. Where can I check the official GBSHSE Class X Compartment Exam 2027 notification and result?
