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

The JAC Board Class X Compartment Exam 2027 is conducted by the Jharkhand Academic Council (JAC) for students who fail in one or two subjects in the main board examination. Students who receive grade E1 (21–32 marks) in up to two subjects are eligible to appear in the compartment exam and clear those subjects without repeating the entire academic year. Based on the 2026 cycle, the compartment exam is expected to be held in July–August 2027, approximately two months after the main Class X result is declared.

The Jharkhand Academic Council is the state authority conducting the Class X (Matric) board examination for government and private schools across Jharkhand. Students who fail in more than two subjects must repeat Class X entirely. Students who receive grade E2 (0–20 marks) in any subject are not eligible for the compartment exam and must re-enroll as regular students.

Based on previous cycles, the compartment registration opens in June–July and the exam is conducted in July–August. The official 2027 compartment exam datesheet will be released on jac.jharkhand.gov.in after the JAC Class X 2027 main result is announced in May 2027.

JAC Board Class X Compartment Exam Fee Structure

Students must pay the compartment exam fee at the time of submitting the application. Regular students pay through their school, which collects fees via bank challan and remits them to the JAC district office. Private students pay directly at the JAC district office or via the official online portal. The 2027 compartment exam fee will be officially published in the JAC notification after the main result is declared in May 2027; the amounts below are expected based on previous cycles.

Note: Fee amounts are approximate and based on the 2023–2026 JAC Class X compartment exam cycles. The confirmed 2027 fee will appear in the official JAC notification at jac.jharkhand.gov.in. Pay fees only through your school’s official challan or the JAC online portal — do not pay through unofficial agents.

How to Apply for JAC Board Class X Compartment Exam 2027

The application process is expected to begin in June 2027, shortly after the main result is announced. Follow the steps below:

1. Visit the official JAC website at jac.jharkhand.gov.in after the main Class X result is declared in May 2027.
2. Look for the "Compartment / Supplementary Exam 2027 Application" link in the notifications section when it is activated.
3. Regular students: collect the application form from your school and submit it along with the required documents and fee before the school’s internal deadline.
4. Private students: apply directly at the JAC district office or log in via the official portal using your Class X roll number and date of birth.
5. Fill in the application with your personal details and select the subject(s) in which you are appearing for the compartment exam.
6. Submit the required documents: Class X main exam admit card, mark sheet showing E1 grade in compartment subject(s), passport-size photograph, and signature.
7. Pay the compartment exam fee through the bank challan issued by your school or via online payment on the JAC portal (if the option is available in 2027).
8. Obtain and keep the application confirmation and fee receipt safely — this is required for admit card collection and any future queries.
9. Confirm with your school that your application has been forwarded to the JAC district office before the board’s submission deadline.

Note: The application window is short — typically 2–3 weeks. Do not delay applying after the main result is declared. Missing the deadline (even with a late fee) may make you ineligible for the 2027 compartment exam.

JAC Board Class X Passing Marks Criteria 2027

To pass the JAC Board Class X Compartment Exam, students must score a minimum of 33% marks in each failed subject. Internal assessment marks (20 marks) from the main exam are carried forward and combined with the compartment theory marks (80 marks) to compute the final subject total. Students must achieve at least 33 marks out of 100 (theory + internal combined) in each compartment subject to be declared pass.

The minimum marks required in the theory paper (80 marks) alone is 27 (80 × 33% = 26.4, rounded up). However, the determining factor is the combined total. A student who scores 25 in theory but has 10 internal marks (total 35) still passes, because the combined 35 out of 100 exceeds the 33% threshold.

Is 27 Marks Out of 80 Enough to Pass the JAC Class X Compartment Exam?

Scoring 27 out of 80 in the theory paper meets the 33% theory benchmark (80 × 33% = 26.4, rounded up to 27). But passing ultimately depends on the combined total of theory + internal assessment. If your carried-forward internal marks are 6 or above, then 27 in theory gives a combined total of 33 or more — which is passing. Students with very low internal assessment marks need to score higher than 27 in theory to ensure the combined total reaches 33 out of 100. Always aim for at least 35–40 to avoid any borderline risk.

JAC Board Class X: Passing Marks Quick Reference

What Happens After Passing the JAC Board Class X Compartment Exam? Students who pass the compartment exam receive a revised mark sheet and pass certificate from JAC with the notation "Pass (Compartment)". This certificate is valid for Class XI admission at any JAC-affiliated school or junior college in Jharkhand. The compartment notation does not disqualify students from higher education — it is a recognised secondary school pass. The revised mark sheet replaces the earlier one and reflects the compartment exam marks in place of the E1 grade.

What Happens After Failing the JAC Board Class X Compartment Exam? Students who fail the compartment exam must re-enroll in Class X as a regular student for the 2027–28 academic year and appear in the full JAC Class X board exam in February–March 2028. There is no provision for a second compartment attempt within the same cycle. Students must take the compartment exam seriously — preparation for just 1–2 subjects with a focused effort over 2–3 months is highly achievable.

JAC Board Class X Grading System

The Jharkhand Academic Council assigns letter grades to students based on marks scored in each subject. Grades A1 through D indicate a pass; E1 indicates a fail with compartment eligibility; E2 indicates a fail requiring full year repetition. Students must secure grade D or above (33 marks or more) in all subjects to be declared pass in the Class X main exam — the compartment exam gives E1 holders a chance to upgrade to grade D or above.

When you pass the compartment exam, your revised mark sheet shows the updated marks (compartment theory + carried-forward internal) in place of the E1 grade. The final grade is assigned on the standard scale above. For example: a student scoring 45 in compartment theory + 14 in carried-forward internal = 59 total → grade C1 on the revised mark sheet. The CGPA is then recalculated across all five subjects using the updated grade.
