The RBSE Compartment Exam 2027 (also called Purrak Pariksha or Supplementary Exam) is expected to be conducted in July–August 2027 by the Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education (RBSE), Ajmer, for Class 10 (Secondary) and Class 12 (Senior Secondary) students who fail in one or two subjects in the main annual board examination. Students who clear the compartment exam receive their RBSE pass certificate without repeating the full academic year — making the Purrak Pariksha a critical second chance for thousands of students across Rajasthan every year. Based on the 2026 pattern — where the supplementary exam was conducted from May 14 to May 16, 2026 — the 2027 examination is expected to follow a similar timeline with updated dates after the main board results are declared. The official notification, application form, dates, and admit card for 2027 will be released at rajeduboard.rajasthan.gov.in once the RBSE 2027 main board results are out.
- Students who fail in 1 or 2 subjects in RBSE Class 10 or Class 12 main board examinations are eligible for the compartment (Purrak Pariksha) exam.
- The RBSE Compartment Exam 2027 is expected in May–August 2027 for both Class 10 and Class 12; exact dates will be published after the main board result.
- Online registration is expected to open at rajeduboard.rajasthan.gov.in in April–May 2027 based on previous-cycle patterns.
- The compartment exam fee for 2026 was ₹600 per subject for regular students; 2027 fees will be confirmed in the official notification.
- Passing the compartment exam results in a mark sheet with Pass (Compartment) status — fully valid for higher education admissions across India.
- Students who fail the compartment exam must register as private candidates for the next annual RBSE board exam; there is no second supplementary window within the same year.
- RBSE does not impose a hard cap on total attempts — students can re-appear as private candidates in subsequent annual board exam cycles until they clear the subject.
RBSE Compartment Exam 2027
The Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education (RBSE), established in 1957 and headquartered in Ajmer, is one of India’s largest state education boards and conducts a dedicated supplementary (Purrak Pariksha) examination every year for Class 10 and Class 12 students who fall short in up to two subjects. In the 2026 cycle, both classes appeared in a three-day window (May 14–16, 2026) with results declared in June 2026 — a timeline that guides the expected 2027 schedule. As of September 2026, no RBSE 2027 compartment exam dates have been officially announced; all 2027 dates, fees, and schedules on this page are expected based on the 2025–26 cycle and will be updated once the official notification is released at rajeduboard.rajasthan.gov.in.

Official 2027 dates will be confirmed at rajeduboard.rajasthan.gov.in.
RBSE Compartment Admit Card 2027
The RBSE Compartment Admit Card 2027 will be released on rajeduboard.rajasthan.gov.in approximately one to two weeks before the compartment examination — in the 2026 cycle, the admit card was released in the first week of May 2026, around 10–14 days before the May 14 exam. Carrying the admit card to the examination hall is mandatory; students without a valid admit card will not be permitted to enter the exam centre. Upon receiving or downloading the admit card, students must immediately check all printed details — name, roll number, subject(s), exam date, time, and centre address — and report any error to their school office or RBSE district office before the exam.
- Regular Students: Admit cards are distributed through the RBSE-affiliated school. The principal or exam coordinator downloads hall tickets from the board portal and hands them to eligible registered students. Contact your school if you have not received yours within 7 days of the expected release date.
- Private Candidates: Private students download the admit card directly from rajeduboard.rajasthan.gov.in by entering their RBSE roll number and date of birth in the admit card section.
- Details on Admit Card: Roll number, student name, father’s name, photograph, subject(s), exam centre name and address, session timing, and exam-day instructions.
- Documents to Carry on Exam Day: Original admit card plus one valid government-issued photo ID (Aadhaar Card, school identity card, or any other government-issued document) are both mandatory at the centre.
Where are RBSE compartment exams held?
RBSE designates government and government-aided schools as exam centres for the supplementary examination, spread across all 33 districts of Rajasthan. The exam centre is printed on the student’s admit card and cannot be changed after issuance without explicit board approval. In most cases, students are allotted the same centre used for their main board exam. Students are advised to visit the centre one day before the exam to confirm the exact location, gate timings, and seating arrangement, and to avoid unforeseen delays on the examination day.
RBSE Compartment Exam Syllabus
The syllabus for the RBSE Compartment Exam 2027 is identical to the syllabus prescribed for the RBSE main board examination — no chapters, units, or topics are excluded for the compartment (Purrak Pariksha) paper. Students must prepare the complete annual syllabus of each subject they are re-appearing in; the question paper pattern and marking scheme are also the same as the main exam. The primary study resources are the textbooks published by the Rajasthan State Textbook Board (RSTB), Jaipur, and the official RBSE model papers available at rajeduboard.rajasthan.gov.in.
Students who already prepared for the main exam should focus on strengthening weak areas rather than restarting preparation entirely, as the subject content and paper format do not change between the main exam and the compartment paper.

RBSE Compartment Exam Pattern 2027
The RBSE Compartment Exam 2027 follows the same paper pattern, question structure, and marking scheme as the main annual board examination for each subject — there is no separate or simplified paper for compartment students. All papers are conducted offline (pen-and-paper mode) in a single morning session of 3 hours writing time plus 15 minutes of prior reading time; there is no negative marking. The question papers include objective-type, short-answer, and long-answer questions distributed proportionally across syllabus units as defined in the RBSE curriculum framework.

Previous Year Question Papers with Solutions PDF
Practising RBSE previous year board and supplementary exam question papers is one of the most effective compartment exam preparation strategies. Past papers reveal recurring question patterns, the relative weight given to different syllabus units, and the level of detail expected in answers — advantages that cannot be gained from textbook reading alone. Since the compartment paper pattern is identical to the main board exam, students can also use main board previous year papers from rajeduboard.rajasthan.gov.in for equally effective practice.
| Paper | Class | Download PDF |
|---|---|---|
| RBSE Class 10 Supplementary / Compartment Previous Year Papers | Class 10 | Download from RBSE Official Website |
| RBSE Class 12 Supplementary / Compartment Previous Year Papers | Class 12 | Download from RBSE Official Website |
| RBSE Class 10 Main Board Previous Year Papers (all subjects) | Class 10 | Download from RBSE Official Website |
| RBSE Class 12 Main Board Previous Year Papers (all subjects) | Class 12 | Download from RBSE Official Website |
Note: Download question papers only from rajeduboard.rajasthan.gov.in to ensure accuracy and completeness. Practising a minimum of 3 years of previous papers under timed conditions (3 hours) is strongly recommended for building the speed and accuracy needed in the compartment exam.
RBSE Compartment Exam Eligibility Criteria 2027
RBSE places a student in the compartment (Purrak) category when they score below the minimum passing marks in one or two subjects in the Class 10 or Class 12 main board examination while passing all remaining subjects. Failing in three or more subjects makes a student ineligible for the compartment exam — those students are declared "Fail" and must re-enroll and repeat the full academic year as a regular student.
Private candidates registered with RBSE who fail in one or two subjects are also eligible and must apply directly through the board portal. Students who were absent from the main board exam without authorised leave are not eligible for the compartment exam — they must register as private candidates for the next annual board cycle.
| Criteria | Details | Key Insights |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Subjects Failed | Failed (scored below 33%) in exactly 1 or 2 subjects in the RBSE Class 10 or Class 12 main examination | Failing in 3 or more subjects disqualifies the student; they must repeat the full year as a regular student |
| Student Category | Regular school students and registered private candidates of RBSE | Both categories are eligible; the application route differs — school-mediated for regular students, direct for private candidates |
| Absent in Main Exam | Students absent from the main exam without authorised leave are not eligible | Absentees must apply as private candidates in the next annual board exam cycle; there is no supplementary window for them |
| Passing Marks Threshold | Minimum 33% marks separately in theory and in practical/assessment where applicable | The 33% bar is applied subject-wise and component-wise — not as an aggregate average across all subjects |
| Grace Marks | RBSE applies grace marks before declaring compartment status; students below 33% after grace marks qualify | Confirmed compartment students receive registration details through their school or via the board portal |
| School Affiliation | Must be enrolled in an RBSE-affiliated school or registered as an RBSE private candidate | Students from other boards or de-affiliated schools are not eligible under the supplementary scheme |
| Age Limit | No upper age limit for compartment candidates | Any registered RBSE student who meets the subject-failure criterion can appear regardless of age |
What is the rule of compartment exam in RBSE?
- Regular Students: Students in RBSE-affiliated schools who failed in 1 or 2 subjects are automatically identified for the compartment exam. Schools register eligible students, collect the application form and fee, and distribute the admit card — students need not apply separately at the board portal.
- Private Candidates: Registered private candidates who appeared in the main RBSE exam and failed in 1 or 2 subjects must apply independently at rajeduboard.rajasthan.gov.in, select the failed subject(s), and pay the prescribed fee before the closing date.
- Improvement Candidates: Students who passed all subjects but wish to improve marks in one or two subjects are not eligible for the compartment exam. They must apply under RBSE’s separate Improvement Examination scheme, which has its own distinct registration window and fee structure.
- Students Failing in 3+ Subjects: These students are declared "Fail" by RBSE and must re-enroll as regular students to repeat the entire class. The supplementary/compartment window is unavailable to them, regardless of how close their individual subject scores are to the passing threshold.
How many chances are given in RBSE compartment exam?
RBSE does not impose a hard cap on the total number of attempts for clearing a failed subject. The dedicated supplementary (Purrak Pariksha) window — typically held in May–June of the same academic year — is available only once per year, and only for students who failed in the most recently concluded main board exam. Students who fail the supplementary exam must register as RBSE private candidates for the next annual board exam (March–April of the following year) to re-appear. There is no restriction on the number of subsequent annual attempts — students can keep appearing year after year as private candidates until they clear the failed subject(s). Each attempt requires fresh private candidate registration, a new admit card, and payment of the applicable fee.
RBSE Compartment Exam – Attempt Schedule
| Attempt | Tentative Schedule | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| First Attempt (Supplementary / Compartment Exam) | May – June 2027 (Expected) | Open only to students who failed 1–2 subjects in the RBSE 2027 main board exam; application in April–May 2027; result expected June–July 2027 |
| Second Attempt (Private Candidate – Annual Board Exam) | March – April 2028 | Students who fail the 2027 supplementary must register as RBSE private candidates for the 2028 annual board exam and re-sit only the failed subject(s) |
| Subsequent Attempts | March – April (each subsequent year) | No cap on total annual attempts; fresh private candidate registration, admit card, and fee required each year; the supplementary window is not available for older backlogs |
RBSE Compartment Exam Fee Structure
The RBSE compartment exam fee is paid online at the time of submitting the application form through the school or the board portal. The fee depends on the number of subjects a student is appearing in. Based on the 2025–26 compartment cycle, the standard fee was ₹600 per subject for regular students and ₹700 per subject for private candidates; 2027 fees will be officially confirmed in the RBSE compartment notification and may differ. A graduated late fee applies for applications submitted after the regular deadline.
| Candidate Category | Fee per Subject (Based on 2026) | Late Fee (Additional) |
|---|---|---|
| Regular Students – Class 10 & 12 (Rajasthan schools) | ₹600 per subject (approx.) | ₹500 additional in first late window |
| Private Candidates – Class 10 & 12 | ₹700 per subject (approx.) | ₹700 additional in first late window |
| Extended / Final Late Window (all categories) | As per base fee above | Cumulative late fee up to ₹2,100 in the final submission window |
How to Apply for RBSE Compartment Exam 2027
- Visit the official RBSE website: rajeduboard.rajasthan.gov.in.
- Navigate to the Notifications / News section and click the compartment (Purrak Pariksha) application link once it is published.
- Enter your RBSE roll number, date of birth, and other required personal details.
- Select the subject(s) in which you wish to appear for the compartment exam.
- Pay the applicable fee online (net banking, UPI, debit / credit card) or through the school-generated challan if your school is facilitating the payment.
- Submit the form and save the acknowledgement slip or application reference number.
- Download the admit card approximately 10–14 days before the exam from the same portal.
Note: The fee amounts above are based on the 2025–26 cycle and are indicative. Always verify the confirmed 2027 fee from the official RBSE compartment notification at rajeduboard.rajasthan.gov.in before paying. Fee once submitted is generally non-refundable; verify eligibility before applying.
RBSE Passing Marks Criteria 2027
To pass the RBSE Compartment Exam 2027, students must score a minimum of 33% in the theory examination and a minimum of 33% in the practical or internal assessment component — each evaluated independently for subjects that have both parts. Clearing 33% in aggregate alone is insufficient — both the theory component and the practical/assessment component must individually meet the 33% threshold; failing one component while passing the other still counts as failing the subject overall. Students who pass receive a compartment marksheet with "Pass (Compartment)" status, accepted for higher education admissions equivalent to a regular pass marksheet.
| Subject | Theory Marks | Practical / Internal Marks | Passing Marks (Theory) | Passing Marks (Practical / Internal) | Total Passing Marks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Languages – Hindi, English, Sanskrit, Urdu (Class 10 & 12) | 100 | — | 33 | — | 33 out of 100 |
| Mathematics (Class 10 & 12) | 100 | — | 33 | — | 33 out of 100 |
| Social Science (Class 10) | 100 | — | 33 | — | 33 out of 100 |
| Science / General Science (Class 10) | 80 | 20 (Practical) | 27 (33% of 80, rounded up) | 7 (33% of 20, rounded up) | 33 out of 100 |
| Physics / Chemistry / Biology (Class 12) | 70 | 30 (Practical) | 23 (33% of 70) | 10 (33% of 30, rounded up) | 33 out of 100 |
| Accountancy / Business Studies / Economics (Class 12) | 100 | — | 33 | — | 33 out of 100 |
| History / Geography / Political Science / Sociology (Class 12) | 100 | — | 33 | — | 33 out of 100 |
Is 23 a passing mark out of 70 in RBSE compartment exam?
Yes. 23 marks out of 70 is the minimum passing mark for the theory paper of Class 12 Science subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) in RBSE, since 33% of 70 equals 23.1 — which rounds down to 23. However, passing the theory paper alone is not sufficient: students must also independently score at least 10 out of 30 in the practical component of the same subject. A student who scores 23 in theory but only 9 in practical has not cleared the subject and remains eligible to re-appear in the compartment exam in the next cycle.
RBSE Compartment Passing Marks – Quick Reference
| Component Total Marks | 33% Passing Marks (Calculated) | Minimum Passing Marks |
|---|---|---|
| 100 (Theory only — Languages, Maths, Social Science) | 33.0 | 33 |
| 80 (Theory — Class 10 Science) | 26.4 | 27 |
| 70 (Theory — Class 12 Physics / Chemistry / Biology) | 23.1 | 23 |
| 30 (Practical — Class 12 Science) | 9.9 | 10 |
| 20 (Practical — Class 10 Science) | 6.6 | 7 |
What Happens After Passing the RBSE Compartment Exam?
Students who pass the RBSE supplementary exam receive an updated mark sheet with Pass (Compartment) status — a fully valid Class 10 or Class 12 certificate recognised by universities, colleges, and employers across India. The marks earned in the compartment exam replace the earlier fail marks in the consolidated final mark sheet. Since the RBSE compartment result is typically declared in June or July, students who clear the exam can apply for college admissions in the second or extended rounds that most institutions conduct through July and August of the same year.
What Happens if You Fail the RBSE Compartment Exam?
Students who fail the supplementary exam must register as RBSE private candidates for the next annual board exam (March–April of the following year) to re-appear in the failed subject(s). Subjects already passed in earlier attempts are retained — students only need to re-sit the subject(s) they continue to fail. There is no second supplementary window within the same year. Each annual attempt requires fresh private candidate registration, a new admit card, and payment of the applicable exam fee to RBSE.
RBSE Grading System
RBSE uses a 9-point grading scale on all Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets, broadly aligned with the national grading framework. A student must secure at least Grade D (marks in the 33–40 range) to be considered passing — grades E1 and E2 both indicate failure, and a student receiving E1 or E2 in 1 or 2 subjects triggers compartment exam eligibility. Grades are awarded subject-wise based on the theory and practical components combined. On a compartment marksheet, the grade shown reflects the compartment exam performance, not the original main board exam score.
| Grade | Marks Range | Grade Point | Performance Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| A1 | 91 – 100 | 10 | Outstanding |
| A2 | 81 – 90 | 9 | Excellent |
| B1 | 71 – 80 | 8 | Very Good |
| B2 | 61 – 70 | 7 | Good |
| C1 | 51 – 60 | 6 | Average |
| C2 | 41 – 50 | 5 | Satisfactory |
| D | 33 – 40 | 4 | Pass (Minimum Passing Band) |
| E1 | 21 – 32 | — | Fail — eligible for compartment exam if failed in 1–2 subjects only |
| E2 | 00 – 20 | — | Fail — eligible for compartment exam if failed in 1–2 subjects only |
Note: Both E1 and E2 grades represent a failing result. Compartment (Purrak Pariksha) eligibility depends on the number of subjects in which E1/E2 is received — not the specific E-band. Students receiving E1 or E2 in 1 or 2 subjects are eligible for the supplementary exam; those receiving E1 or E2 in 3 or more subjects are ineligible and must re-appear as private candidates in the next annual board exam cycle.
RBSE Compartment Exam FAQs
Ques. What is the RBSE compartment exam (Purrak Pariksha)?
Ans. The RBSE compartment exam, officially known as Purrak Pariksha (पूरक परीक्षा) or Supplementary Exam, is a second-chance examination conducted by the Board of Secondary Education, Rajasthan (RBSE), Ajmer. It is held annually for Class 10 and Class 12 students who fail in one or two subjects in the main board examination. Students who pass the compartment exam receive an RBSE pass certificate — without repeating the entire academic year — saving valuable time in their educational journey.
Ques. Who is eligible for the RBSE compartment exam 2027?
Ans. Students who fail in exactly one or two subjects in the RBSE Class 10 or Class 12 main board examination 2027 are eligible for the compartment exam. Failing in three or more subjects disqualifies a student from the supplementary window — those students must repeat the full academic year as regular students. Both regular school students and registered RBSE private candidates who meet the one-or-two-subject failure criterion are eligible to appear.
Ques. When will the RBSE compartment exam 2027 be held?
Ans. The RBSE Compartment Exam 2027 is expected to be held in May–June 2027, following the established annual cycle. In 2026, the supplementary exam ran from May 14 to May 16, 2026, approximately 4–6 weeks after the main board results were declared. As of September 2026, no official 2027 dates have been announced. Students should monitor rajeduboard.rajasthan.gov.in for the official 2027 notification after main board results are published.
Ques. How many attempts are allowed in the RBSE compartment exam?
Ans. RBSE does not impose a hard cap on total attempts. The dedicated supplementary window in May–June is available once per year and only for students who failed the most recent main board exam. Students who fail the supplementary must then appear as RBSE private candidates in the next annual board exam (March–April). There is no restriction on how many subsequent annual attempts a student can make — fresh registration, a new admit card, and the applicable fee are required for each annual attempt.
Ques. What are the minimum passing marks for the RBSE compartment exam?
Ans. Students must score a minimum of 33% separately in the theory examination and in the practical or internal assessment component. For 100-mark theory papers (Hindi, Maths, Social Science, etc.), this means at least 33 marks. For 80-mark papers (Class 10 Science theory), at least 27 marks. For 70-mark papers (Class 12 Physics, Chemistry, Biology theory), at least 23 marks. For a 30-mark practical, at least 10 marks; for a 20-mark practical, at least 7 marks. Both components must independently meet the threshold — passing one while failing the other still means failing the subject overall.
Ques. What happens if a student fails the RBSE compartment exam?
Ans. Students who fail the RBSE supplementary exam must register as private candidates for the next annual RBSE board exam, held in March–April of the following year, and re-appear only in the failed subject(s). Subjects already passed in earlier attempts are retained. There is no second supplementary window within the same academic year. Each new annual attempt requires fresh private candidate registration with RBSE, payment of the applicable fee, and a new admit card.
Ques. Is the RBSE compartment marksheet valid for college admissions?
Ans. Yes. An RBSE compartment marksheet carrying the status "Pass (Compartment)" is a fully valid passing certificate, accepted by the vast majority of colleges and universities across India for undergraduate admissions. Since RBSE results are typically declared in June, students who clear the 2027 compartment exam can apply in the second or extended admission rounds that most institutions hold through July and August. Students applying to highly competitive courses should individually verify the specific eligibility conditions of those programmes, as a small number may have additional requirements.
Ques. How do I apply for the RBSE compartment exam 2027?
Ans. Regular school students apply through their RBSE-affiliated school: the school collects the application form and fee and submits them via the board portal. Private candidates apply directly at rajeduboard.rajasthan.gov.in by filling the online compartment form, paying the fee through available online modes, and downloading their admit card. Both categories must complete the application within the deadline announced in the official 2027 compartment notification to avoid late fees. The 2027 notification is expected in April–May 2027 after the main board results are declared.
Ques. Is the RBSE compartment exam syllabus different from the main board exam?
Ans. No. The RBSE compartment exam syllabus is identical to the main annual board exam syllabus — no topics are reduced, excluded, or simplified. The question paper format, section structure, and marking scheme are also the same. Students who prepared for the main exam hold a significant advantage and should focus specifically on the units and concepts where they lost marks in the main paper, rather than restarting full preparation from scratch.
Ques. Does RBSE conduct compartment exams for both Class 10 and Class 12?
Ans. Yes. The Board of Secondary Education, Rajasthan (RBSE) conducts supplementary (Purrak Pariksha) examinations for both Class 10 (Secondary) and Class 12 (Senior Secondary) students every year. In 2026, both classes appeared together in the same three-day exam window (May 14–16, 2026) with shared exam centres. Each class has a separate timetable, separate roll numbers, and separate admit cards, but the overall application process, fee structure, and eligibility criteria are the same for both.
