The TBSE Compartment Exam 2027 gives students a second chance to clear subjects they narrowly failed in the main board examination. Class 10 students who fail in 1 or 2 subjects are eligible for the Bachhar Bachao Pariksha, and Class 12 students who fail in exactly 1 subject can appear for the Higher Secondary Supplementary Exam. The 2027 compartment exams are expected in July–August 2027, after the main board results are announced in May 2027.
In the 2026 cycle, TBSE declared both the Madhyamik and Higher Secondary results on May 8, 2026. The Class 10 Bachhar Bachao Pariksha was then held from July 6 to July 10, 2026, and the Class 12 HS Supplementary Exam followed in August 2026. The 2027 schedule is expected to mirror this pattern — main result in May 2027, followed by compartment exams in July and August 2027.
- Compartment registration opens through your school within 2–3 weeks of the main result declaration.
- The application fee is approximately ₹200–₹300 per subject for schools in Tripura; a late fee applies for delayed submissions.
- You must score at least 33 marks out of 100 (33%) in each compartment subject to pass.
- Passing compartment earns a mark sheet noting Pass (Compartment), accepted for Class 11 and college admissions.
- TBSE allows up to three attempts at the compartment exam before requiring full-year re-enrollment.
- Students who fail compartment must rejoin as a regular or private student for the full academic year.
TBSE Compartment Exam 2027 Overview
TBSE (Tripura Board of Secondary Education), headquartered in Agartala, conducts annual board examinations for approximately 1.2 lakh students across Class 10 (Madhyamik Pariksha) and Class 12 (Higher Secondary). The compartment exam — called Bachhar Bachao for Class 10, meaning “Save the Year” — is a critical safety net that helps thousands of Tripura students avoid repeating an entire academic year over one or two weak subjects. The Class 12 equivalent, the HS Supplementary Examination, serves the same purpose but has stricter eligibility: only one failed subject qualifies.

TBSE Compartment Admit Card 2027
The TBSE compartment admit card 2027 will be issued approximately 7–10 days before the exam begins. For Class 10 Bachhar Bachao, admit cards are expected in late June 2027; for Class 12 HS Supplementary, they are expected in late July 2027. The admit card carries the student’s roll number, exam centre address, and subject-wise schedule — verify all details immediately upon receipt and report discrepancies to your school before the exam.
- Regular Students: Admit cards are distributed through the school where the student originally appeared for the main board exam. Collect it from the school office before the exam begins.
- Private Students: Collect the admit card from the nearest TBSE district examination centre or the board’s Agartala headquarters, along with proof of registration and a valid photo ID.
Note: The admit card is mandatory for entry into the examination hall. No student is permitted entry without a valid TBSE compartment admit card. Carry it on every day of the exam — not just the first day.
Where are TBSE compartment exams held?
TBSE conducts compartment exams at designated centres across all eight districts of Tripura — West Tripura, South Tripura, North Tripura, Gomati, Sepahijala, Khowai, Unakoti, and Dhalai. Schools that functioned as main exam centres typically serve as compartment exam centres too. Students are generally assigned the same centre as the main exam unless a centre-change request is submitted through the school before the registration deadline.
TBSE Compartment Exam Syllabus
The TBSE compartment exam syllabus is identical to the full annual syllabus of the main board examination for the respective class and subject. Students appear only in the subject(s) they failed, but the paper covers the complete annual syllabus — there is no reduced or special compartment syllabus. Use the same TBSE-prescribed textbooks and study materials you used for the main board exam.
| Class | Subject | Syllabus Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Class 10 (Madhyamik Pariksha) | First Language (Bengali / Kokborok / Alternative) | Full TBSE Madhyamik annual syllabus |
| Second Language / English | Full TBSE Madhyamik annual syllabus | |
| Mathematics | Full TBSE Madhyamik annual syllabus | |
| Life Science | Full TBSE Madhyamik annual syllabus | |
| Physical Science | Full TBSE Madhyamik annual syllabus | |
| Social Science | Full TBSE Madhyamik annual syllabus | |
| Class 12 (Higher Secondary) | English (Compulsory) | Full TBSE HS annual syllabus |

| Stream electives — Arts (History, Political Science, Economics, Geography, etc.) | Full TBSE HS annual syllabus | |
| Stream electives — Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics) | Full TBSE HS annual syllabus |
Note: TBSE publishes official syllabus documents on tbse.tripura.gov.in. Because the compartment syllabus mirrors the main exam in full, no separate compartment syllabus document is issued. Download the standard annual syllabus for your class and subject from the official website.
TBSE Compartment Exam Pattern 2027
The TBSE 2027 compartment exam follows the same paper structure as the corresponding main board examination. Each subject carries 100 marks, split between a theory paper and an internal assessment or practical component; students must achieve at least 33% in each component separately — a strong internal score cannot compensate for a failed theory paper. The exam is conducted offline (pen-and-paper mode) at designated centres across Tripura.
| Subject (Class 10) | Theory Marks | Practical / Internal Assessment | Key Sections | Types of Questions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| First Language (Bengali / Kokborok) | 80 | 20 (Internal Assessment) | Literature, Grammar, Composition | MCQ, Short Answer, Essay |
| English (Second Language) | 80 | 20 (Internal Assessment) | Reading Comprehension, Writing, Grammar, Literature | MCQ, Short Answer, Long Answer |
| Mathematics | 80 | 20 (Internal Assessment) | Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Statistics | Short Answer, Long Answer, Problem Solving |
| Life Science / Physical Science | 70 | 30 (20 Practical + 10 Internal) | Biology / Physics / Chemistry chapters per TBSE syllabus | MCQ, Short Answer, Descriptive, Diagram-based |
| Social Science | 80 | 20 (Project / Internal) | History, Geography, Political Science, Economics | MCQ, Short Answer, Map Work, Essay |
Note: Class 12 HS compartment paper patterns follow the same structure as the respective HS main exam. Theory marks, practical weightage, and question-type distribution vary by stream and subject as per the official TBSE HS syllabus. Confirm subject-specific patterns on tbse.tripura.gov.in.

Previous Year Question Papers with Solutions PDF
Practising previous year TBSE compartment exam question papers is one of the most effective preparation strategies. These papers reveal the exact question format, marks distribution, and high-frequency topics tested in the Bachhar Bachao and HS Supplementary exams. Since the compartment syllabus is identical to the main board exam, main board question papers from prior years are equally useful for preparation.

TBSE Compartment Exam Eligibility Criteria 2027
Eligibility for the TBSE compartment exam depends on the class and the number of subjects a student failed. For Class 10 Madhyamik, students who fail in 1 or 2 subjects can appear in the Bachhar Bachao Pariksha. For Class 12 HS, only students who fail in exactly 1 subject qualify for the Supplementary Exam.
Students who fail in 3 or more subjects in Class 10, or 2 or more subjects in Class 12, are not eligible for the compartment route and must re-enroll for the full academic year. Regular attendance in the main exam year and having actually appeared in the main TBSE board examination are prerequisite conditions for compartment eligibility.
| Criteria | Class 10 Bachhar Bachao | Class 12 HS Supplementary | Key Insights |
|---|---|---|---|
| Failed Subjects Permitted | 1 or 2 subjects | Exactly 1 subject | Failing in more subjects than the permitted limit requires full-year repetition; no partial relief. |
| Student Category | Regular and private students | Regular and private students | Private students must verify eligibility directly with the TBSE district office before applying. |
| Attendance Requirement | 75% in the main exam year | 75% in the main exam year | Students with attendance below 75% may be barred from sitting the main exam, making compartment eligibility moot. |
| Passing Criteria (Compartment) | Minimum 33% in each failed subject | Minimum 33% in the failed subject | The 33% threshold applies to each paper component (theory, practical, internal) separately. |
| Exam Attempts Allowed | Up to 3 attempts | Up to 2–3 attempts | After exhausting compartment attempts, full re-enrollment as a regular or private student is required. |
| Absent in Main Exam | Not eligible | Not eligible | Students absent during the main board exam must re-appear as private students in the following year’s main examination. |
What is the rule of compartment exam in TBSE?
- Regular Students: Students who appeared in the TBSE main exam and failed in the eligible number of subjects are automatically flagged by the board as compartment-eligible. They register through their school within the announced window — typically 2–3 weeks after result declaration.
- Private Students: Private students who appeared in the main TBSE exam and meet the subject-failure criteria can also apply. They register directly through the TBSE district examination office with documentary proof of their main exam registration and result.
- Improvement Students: Students who passed all subjects but wish to improve marks are not eligible for the compartment exam. They must re-appear in the following year’s main board exam as a private student if they want to improve their scores.
How many chances are given in TBSE compartment exam?
TBSE generally allows students up to three chances to clear the compartment exam. The first is the compartment session immediately following the main result (July–August of the same year). Students who fail that attempt can appear in the following year’s compartment session without re-enrolling for the full year. A third opportunity is available in the cycle after that. Once all permitted attempts are exhausted, the student must re-enroll as a regular or private student for the complete academic year — meaning they sit all subjects again in the next main board cycle.
TBSE Compartment Exam: Number of Attempts
| Attempt | Tentative Schedule | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| First Attempt | July 2027 (Class 10) / August 2027 (Class 12) | Held immediately after the main result; the large majority of eligible students clear on this attempt. |
| Second Attempt | July 2028 (Expected) | Students who fail the first compartment can appear in the following year’s compartment session without re-enrolling for the full year. |
| Third Attempt | July 2029 (Expected) | The final allowed attempt under compartment rules; availability should be confirmed with TBSE each cycle. |
TBSE Compartment Exam Fee Structure
Students must pay the compartment exam fee at the time of form submission through their school or, for private students, through the TBSE district examination office. The 2027 fee is expected to be in line with prior cycles — approximately ₹200–₹300 per subject for regular students enrolled in schools in Tripura. Official 2027 fee amounts will be announced in the TBSE compartment exam notification on tbse.tripura.gov.in.
| Student Category | Fee per Subject (Expected) | Late Fee (Additional) |
|---|---|---|
| Regular Students — Schools in Tripura | ₹200 – ₹300 | ₹100 – ₹200 |
| Private Students — Tripura | ₹300 – ₹500 | ₹100 – ₹200 |
| Class 10 Students with Two Failed Subjects | Fee per subject × 2 | Same late fee per subject if submitting after the deadline |
Note: Fee amounts above are estimates based on prior TBSE cycles; the official 2027 figures will be published in the compartment exam notification. Always pay fees through your school or authorized TBSE channels. Do not pay through agents or unofficial platforms.
TBSE Passing Marks Criteria 2027
To pass the TBSE compartment exam, students must score at least 33% in each subject. The 33% rule applies component-wise: both the theory paper and the practical or internal assessment must individually clear the 33% threshold — a high internal score cannot rescue a failing theory paper. The minimum overall passing marks per subject is 33 out of 100.
| Subject (Class 10) | Theory Marks | Practical / Internal Marks | Passing Marks (Theory) | Passing Marks (Practical / Internal) | Total Passing Marks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| First Language / English | 80 | 20 (Internal) | 27 | 7 | 33 |
| Mathematics | 80 | 20 (Internal) | 27 | 7 | 33 |
| Life Science | 70 | 30 (20 Practical + 10 Internal) | 24 | 10 | 33 |
| Physical Science | 70 | 30 (20 Practical + 10 Internal) | 24 | 10 | 33 |
| Social Science | 80 | 20 (Project / Internal) | 27 | 7 | 33 |
Note: For Class 12 HS subjects, the theory-practical split varies by stream. In all cases, 33% is required in each component and in the overall subject total. Students who passed the practical component in the main exam and failed only theory should confirm with TBSE whether the practical marks carry forward to the compartment attempt.
Is 27 a passing mark in TBSE Madhyamik out of 80?
Yes. For TBSE Madhyamik subjects with an 80-mark theory paper, the minimum passing marks in theory are 27 out of 80 (33% of 80 = 26.4, rounded up to 27). A student scoring 26 or below in such a theory paper fails that component — even if their total subject score exceeds 33. For example, a student scoring 25 in theory and 14 in internal (total 39/100) has cleared the overall total but failed the theory component separately, and must sit the compartment exam. This component-wise rule applies most critically to English and Bengali where the 80-mark theory paper is the dominant component.
TBSE Compartment Passing Marks at a Glance
| Component Total Marks | 33% (Exact) | Rounded Minimum Passing Marks |
|---|---|---|
| 100 (Full Subject Total) | 33.0 | 33 |
| 80 (Theory — Languages, Mathematics, Social Science) | 26.4 | 27 |
| 70 (Theory — Science subjects) | 23.1 | 24 |
| 30 (Practical + Internal — Science subjects) | 9.9 | 10 |
| 20 (Internal Assessment / Project) | 6.6 | 7 |
TBSE Grading System
TBSE uses a nine-point grading scale on mark sheets for both Class 10 and Class 12. Grades are assigned based on the marks range, and the CGPA on the mark sheet is the simple average of grade points earned across all subjects. A student who clears a subject through the compartment exam receives the grade corresponding to their compartment marks; the original failing grade (E) is superseded by the new grade on the supplementary mark sheet issued afterwards.
| 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 | Above Average |
| C2 | 41 – 50 | 5 | Average |
| D | 33 – 40 | 4 | Satisfactory (Minimum Pass) |
| E1 | 21 – 32 | — | Fail |
| E2 | 00 – 20 | — | Fail |
Note: Grades E1 and E2 both indicate failure in a subject. Compartment exam eligibility is determined by the number of failed subjects (1–2 for Class 10, exactly 1 for Class 12), not by which grade band the failed marks fall in. A student scoring Grade D (33–40) has passed and is not required to appear in the compartment exam.
TBSE Compartment Exam FAQs
Ques. What is the TBSE Bachhar Bachao Pariksha?
Ans. Bachhar Bachao Pariksha literally means “Save the Year Exam.” It is the compartment examination conducted by TBSE for Class 10 Madhyamik students who fail in 1 or 2 subjects in the annual main board exam. Passing it allows students to proceed to Class 11 without repeating the year. The Class 12 equivalent is called the Higher Secondary Supplementary Examination and has stricter eligibility — only one failed subject qualifies.
Ques. Who is eligible for the TBSE Madhyamik Bachhar Bachao exam 2027?
Ans. Class 10 students who appeared in the TBSE Madhyamik main exam and failed in 1 or 2 subjects are eligible. Students who failed in 3 or more subjects must repeat the full year and are not eligible for the compartment route. Students absent from the main board examination are also ineligible — they must register as a private student for the following year’s main exam cycle.
Ques. Who is eligible for the TBSE HS Supplementary Exam 2027?
Ans. Class 12 students who appeared in the TBSE Higher Secondary main exam and failed in exactly 1 subject are eligible. Unlike Class 10 — which allows up to 2 failed subjects — the Class 12 supplementary exam is strictly limited to a single failed subject. Students who fail 2 or more subjects in Class 12 must repeat the entire year as a regular or private student.
Ques. When will the TBSE compartment exam 2027 be held?
Ans. As of September 2026, official 2027 dates have not been announced. Based on the 2026 cycle — where the main results were declared on May 8 and the Class 10 Bachhar Bachao ran July 6–10 — the 2027 Class 10 compartment exam is expected in July 2027 and the Class 12 HS Supplementary in August 2027. TBSE will publish the official timetable on tbse.tripura.gov.in after the main results are declared in May 2027.
Ques. How many attempts are allowed in the TBSE compartment exam?
Ans. TBSE generally allows up to three compartment attempts. The first attempt is the session immediately following the main result (July–August of the same year). A second attempt is available the following year if the student fails the first compartment, and a third attempt is typically available the year after that. After all attempts are exhausted, the student must re-enroll for the full academic year — they then sit all subjects in the main exam the following cycle, not just the failed ones.
Ques. What are the passing marks for the TBSE compartment exam?
Ans. Students must score a minimum of 33 out of 100 (33%) in each compartment subject. The 33% rule applies separately to every component: the theory paper, practical, and internal assessment must each individually clear 33%. For subjects with an 80-mark theory paper, the minimum theory passing marks are 27; for a 70-mark theory paper, they are 24. A high internal assessment score cannot offset a theory paper below the threshold — both components must pass independently.
Ques. What happens if I fail the TBSE compartment exam?
Ans. Students who fail the TBSE compartment exam on a given attempt can use their remaining permitted attempts in subsequent years. Once all attempts are exhausted, they must repeat the full academic year as a regular or private student, sitting all subjects in the main board exam the following cycle. Failing the compartment exam does not cancel marks already secured in subjects passed in the main exam — those are unaffected.
Ques. Is the TBSE compartment exam syllabus the same as the main exam?
Ans. Yes. The TBSE compartment exam covers the complete annual syllabus for the failed subject, identical to the main board examination. No condensed or special compartment syllabus exists. Students should use the same TBSE-prescribed textbooks, study materials, and official syllabus they followed during the main exam year. Revision from the beginning of the full syllabus is essential since all topics are examinable.
Ques. How do I get my TBSE compartment exam admit card?
Ans. Regular students receive their compartment admit card through their school, typically 7–10 days before the exam begins. Private students must collect their admit card from the nearest TBSE district examination office with proof of registration and a valid photo ID. The admit card must be carried to the examination hall on every day of the exam. Entry is denied without a valid admit card, so keep it safe throughout the entire examination period.
Ques. Does passing the TBSE compartment exam show separately on the mark sheet?
Ans. Yes. Students who pass through the compartment exam receive a supplementary mark sheet from TBSE noting Pass (Compartment) alongside the marks earned in the cleared subject. This mark sheet is recognised by TBSE-affiliated schools, Tripura colleges, and most higher-education institutions for admission and certificate verification. The “Compartment” notation is standard practice across Indian state boards and does not bar students from Class 11 admission or undergraduate programme enrolment.
