The UBSE Compartment Exam 2027 — officially called the Improvement Exam by the Board of School Education Uttarakhand — gives students who failed in one or two subjects in Class 10 (High School) or Class 12 (Intermediate) a second opportunity to clear the board examination without losing an academic year. Students who pass the improvement exam receive a revised mark sheet reflecting ’Pass (Improvement)’ status, which is fully valid for Class 11 enrolment and undergraduate college admission. The 2027 cycle has not yet begun; all key events — main exam, result, application window, and improvement exam — are scheduled from March 2027 onwards.
- Students who fail in 1 or 2 subjects (E1 grade: 21–32 marks) in the UBSE Class 10 or Class 12 board exam are eligible for the improvement exam.
- Students scoring below 20 marks (E2 grade) in any subject, or failing in 3 or more subjects, must repeat the full academic year — they are not eligible for the improvement exam.
- The UBSE 2027 improvement exam is expected in July–August 2027, following the main board result in May–June 2027.
- The application will be submitted at ubse.info.in; the fee is ₹200 per subject for Class 10 and ₹300 per subject for Class 12.
- UBSE allows up to 3 improvement exam attempts across successive exam cycles before mandatory re-enrolment as a regular student.
- Even students who already passed the board exam can appear to improve their marks in up to 2 subjects — the higher score is retained on the revised mark sheet.
- Students must score a minimum of 33% separately in theory and practical/internal to pass each subject in the improvement exam.
The Uttarakhand Board of School Education (UBSE), headquartered in Ramnagar, Nainital, conducts the Class 10 and Class 12 public examinations for students across Uttarakhand. Every year, a significant portion of students appearing in the UBSE main exam qualify for the improvement exam — and the board’s three-attempt policy gives most students enough opportunities to clear without repeating the year. The improvement exam follows the same complete syllabus, paper pattern, and passing norms as the main board examination, with no concessions.
Unlike most boards that restrict the supplementary exam only to failed students, UBSE also allows improvement for passed students seeking a higher division or better marks for competitive admission purposes.
UBSE Compartment Exam 2027
UBSE conducts the Improvement Exam once every year, after the main board result is declared. In the 2026 cycle, the application window opened on June 8, 2026 and the improvement exam was expected in July 2026, with results by August 2026. For 2025, the exam ran from August 4–11. The 2027 cycle is expected to follow the same pattern — main exams in March–April 2027, result in May–June 2027, application in June 2027, and the improvement exam in July–August 2027. Official notification and dates for the 2027 cycle will be published on ubse.uk.gov.in once the main board result is declared next year.

UBSE Compartment Admit Card 2027
The admit card for the UBSE Improvement Exam 2027 is expected to be released in the last week of June or first week of July 2027 — approximately 10–15 days before the exam begins. Students who have successfully registered at ubse.info.in can download their hall ticket by logging in with their roll number and date of birth; the admit card is not mailed separately. Entry to the exam hall is strictly not permitted without a valid printed admit card.
- Regular Students: Download your admit card directly from ubse.info.in using your board exam roll number and date of birth. Your school will also notify you when the hall ticket is available. Verify all details on the admit card — name, roll number, subject(s), exam centre, and reporting time — and report any discrepancy to your school or the board immediately.
- Private Candidates: Download directly from ubse.info.in using your registration credentials. Carry a valid government-issued photo ID (Aadhaar, school ID, etc.) along with the printed admit card on the day of the exam.
Where are UBSE compartment exams held?
UBSE conducts the Improvement Exam at the same examination centres used for the main board examination — approximately 1,300 centres spread across all districts of Uttarakhand, including Dehradun, Haridwar, Nainital, Almora, Pauri Garhwal, Udham Singh Nagar, Pithoragarh, Chamoli, Tehri, and Rudraprayag. The exam centre allotted to each student is printed on the admit card. Students are strongly advised to visit their exam centre on the day before the exam to avoid getting lost on exam day. No electronic devices are permitted inside the exam hall.
UBSE Compartment Exam Syllabus
The UBSE Improvement Exam 2027 syllabus is identical to the main board examination syllabus for Class 10 (High School) and Class 12 (Intermediate). No portion of the syllabus is reduced, condensed, or excluded for the improvement exam — students must prepare the complete prescribed syllabus for the subject(s) in which they are appearing. This ensures that a ’Pass (Improvement)’ result carries the same academic validity as a main exam pass. UBSE subject-wise syllabus PDFs are available on ubse.uk.gov.in.
| Class | Subjects Covered in Improvement Exam | Syllabus Source |
|---|---|---|
| Class 10 — High School | Hindi, English, Mathematics, Science, Social Science, Sanskrit, Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali, Home Science, Information Technology, and other approved electives | Download from ubse.uk.gov.in |
| Class 12 — Intermediate | Hindi, English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Accountancy, Business Studies, Economics, History, Geography, Political Science, Sociology, Computer Science, Home Science, Agriculture, Sanskrit, and other approved electives | Download from ubse.uk.gov.in |
Note: Students should prepare only the specific subject(s) they are registered for in the improvement exam. The UBSE 2027 main board exam syllabus will be the authoritative reference — focus your preparation on that syllabus, paying particular attention to any chapters or topics revised by the board for the 2026–27 session.
UBSE Compartment Exam Pattern 2027
The UBSE Improvement Exam 2027 follows the same paper pattern as the main board examination, with no structural changes for the supplementary session. The exam is conducted in offline (pen-and-paper) mode; question papers are bilingual (Hindi and English); and students must score at least 33% separately in theory and in practical/internal assessment to pass each subject. The theory-practical split varies by subject: most language and social science papers follow an 80+20 structure, while science and fine arts papers follow 70+30.
| Subject | Theory Marks | Practical / Internal Assessment | Total Marks | Types of Questions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hindi (Class 10 & 12) | 70 | 30 (Internal) | 100 | Objective, Short Answer, Long Answer, Essay/Composition |
| English (Class 10 & 12) | 80 | 20 (Internal) | 100 | Reading Comprehension, Writing, Grammar, Literature |

Previous Year Question Papers with Solutions PDF
Practising previous year UBSE board exam question papers is the single most effective preparation strategy for the Improvement Exam. Since the improvement exam uses the same paper pattern and syllabus as the main board exam, previous year main board papers — available on ubse.uk.gov.in — are directly applicable for improvement exam preparation. UBSE also publishes model answer sheets (marking scheme PDFs) that show how marks are allocated across question types and sections.
How to Use Previous Year Papers for UBSE Improvement Exam Preparation
Solve each previous year paper under timed, exam-like conditions — 3 hours per paper without referring to textbooks. After each attempt, use the model answer sheet to identify the sections where marks are being lost. In the 4–6 weeks before the exam, prioritise topics that carry high marks and that you missed in the main board. In the final two weeks, switch from full-length papers to chapter-level revision for the weak topics you identified. Attempting papers from at least 2024 and 2025 gives a reliable picture of the question pattern for 2027.

UBSE Compartment Exam Eligibility Criteria 2027
The UBSE Improvement Exam 2027 is open to both regular school students and private candidates who appeared in the 2027 main board examination. You are eligible if you failed in a maximum of 1 or 2 subjects and hold an E1 grade (21–32 marks in theory) in those subjects; students who received an E2 grade (0–20 marks) in any subject, or who failed in 3 or more subjects, are not eligible and must repeat the year. Additionally, students who already passed the main exam may also appear to improve their marks in up to 2 subjects.
Eligibility also requires that the student met the minimum 75% attendance requirement during the academic session 2026–27. Students with an attendance shortfall that was not condoned by the board for the main examination remain ineligible for the improvement exam as well. For score-improvement applicants (already passed students), the higher of the two marks — main exam or improvement exam — is reflected on the revised mark sheet; a lower improvement exam score cannot reduce an existing pass result.
| Criteria | Details | Key Insights |
|---|---|---|
| Failed Students — Eligible | Failed in 1 or 2 subjects with E1 grade (21–32 marks) in the UBSE 2027 main exam | Only E1 grade qualifies for the improvement exam; E2 grade (0–20 marks) requires repeating the full year. |
| Passed Students — Score Improvement | Passed the 2027 main board exam but want to improve marks in 1 or 2 subjects | The higher mark (main or improvement) is retained on the revised mark sheet. Existing pass status is never downgraded. |
| Students Failing in 3 or More Subjects | NOT eligible for the improvement exam | Must re-enrol as regular students for the full Class 10 or Class 12 examination in the next academic session. |
| Classes Covered | Class 10 (High School) and Class 12 (Intermediate) | Both classes follow the same eligibility rules and three-attempt policy. |
| Attendance Requirement | Minimum 75% in the academic session 2026–27 | Students with uncondoned attendance shortfall cannot register for the improvement exam. |
| Attempts Allowed | Up to 3 attempts across successive exam cycles | 1st: July–August 2027; 2nd: with the 2028 board cycle; 3rd: with the 2028–29 cycle. |
| Passing Criteria | Minimum 33% marks separately in theory and practical/internal | Both components must be cleared in the same attempt — passing one while failing the other does not constitute a subject pass. |
What is the rule of compartment exam in UBSE?
- Failed Students (E1 grade, 1–2 subjects): Register at ubse.info.in within the application window after the main result. Your school will assist with the application and document submission. Appear at the exam centre printed on your admit card. If you pass the improvement exam, UBSE issues a revised mark sheet showing Pass (Improvement) status. If you fail, your second and third improvement exam attempts are still available in subsequent cycles.
- Failed Students (E2 grade or 3+ subjects): Students holding E2 grade (0–20 marks) in any subject, or who failed in three or more subjects, are NOT eligible for the improvement exam. These students must re-enrol as regular Class 10 or Class 12 students for the next academic session.
- Private Candidates: Private candidates who appeared in the UBSE board exam can apply directly at ubse.info.in without a school intermediary. The same eligibility criteria (E1 grade in 1–2 subjects) apply. Upload required documents as specified in the official notification and pay the fee online.
- Score Improvement (Already Passed): Students who passed may register for up to 2 subjects to attempt a higher score. The better result is recorded; the original pass certificate remains valid regardless of the improvement exam outcome — you cannot lose your pass status.
How many chances are given in UBSE compartment?
UBSE provides three improvement exam attempts spread across successive exam cycles. The 1st attempt is held in the same year as the main exam (July–August 2027 for the 2027 cycle). The 2nd attempt is conducted in the following academic year’s exam cycle (2027–28), and the 3rd attempt in the cycle after that. Students who do not clear the failed subjects across all three attempts must re-enrol as regular Class 10 or Class 12 students and appear in the full board examination afresh — no further improvement exam attempts are granted. Each attempt is a fresh exam; scores are not cumulated across attempts.
| Attempt | Tentative Schedule | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1st Improvement Exam | July – August 2027 | Apply at ubse.info.in after the main result. Fee: ₹200/subject (Class 10), ₹300/subject (Class 12). |
| 2nd Improvement Exam | 2027–28 board cycle (expected July–August 2028) | Available only to students who did not clear the 1st attempt. Application process repeats each cycle. |
| 3rd Improvement Exam | 2028–29 board cycle (expected July–August 2029) | Final permitted attempt. Failing this means mandatory re-enrolment as a regular student for the full exam. |
What Happens After the UBSE Improvement Exam?
If you pass: UBSE issues a revised mark sheet reflecting Pass (Improvement) status for the subject(s) you cleared. This revised mark sheet is fully accepted for Class 11 enrolment (Class 10 students) and undergraduate college admission (Class 12 students). For score-improvement candidates, the higher of the two scores — main or improvement — is reflected. The original mark sheet is superseded by the revised one.
If you fail: You retain the right to appear in the 2nd and 3rd improvement exam attempts in subsequent cycles. Your mark sheet continues to show the failed status until you clear all required subjects. Students who fail all three attempts must re-enrol as regular Class 10 or Class 12 students for the complete board examination in the next cycle. During the waiting period between attempts, undergraduate admission and Class 11 enrolment remain on hold for those who failed in the main exam.

UBSE Passing Marks Criteria 2027
To pass the UBSE Improvement Exam 2027, students must secure a minimum of 33% marks in the theory paper and at least 33% in the practical or internal assessment separately for each subject. Clearing theory alone is not sufficient — students who pass theory but fail the practical component (or vice versa) are not declared pass in that subject and must attempt the next improvement exam cycle. Grace marks may be applied at the board’s discretion for students who narrowly miss the threshold.
The passing mark calculation depends on the paper structure. For subjects with an 80-mark theory paper (English, Mathematics, Social Science), the minimum is 26 marks. For 70-mark theory papers (Hindi, Science, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography), the minimum is 23 marks. The internal and practical components have a minimum of 7 marks (out of 20) and 10 marks (out of 30) respectively.
| Subject | Theory Marks | Practical / Internal Marks | Passing Marks (Theory) | Passing Marks (Practical / Internal) | Total Passing Marks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hindi (Class 10 & 12) | 70 | 30 | 23 | 10 | 33 |
| English (Class 10 & 12) | 80 | 20 | 26 | 7 | 33 |
| Mathematics (Class 10 & 12) | 80 | 20 | 26 | 7 | 33 |
| Science (Class 10) | 70 | 30 | 23 | 10 | 33 |
| Social Science (Class 10) | 80 | 20 | 26 | 7 | 33 |
| Physics / Chemistry / Biology (Class 12) | 70 | 30 | 23 | 10 | 33 |
| Accountancy / Business Studies / Economics (Class 12) | 80 | 20 | 26 | 7 | 33 |
| History / Political Science (Class 12) | 80 | 20 | 26 | 7 | 33 |
| Geography (Class 12) | 70 | 30 | 23 | 10 | 33 |
Is 23 a passing mark out of 70 in UBSE?
Yes. 23 marks out of 70 is the minimum passing score for theory in subjects where the theory paper carries 70 marks — this includes Hindi, Science (Class 10), Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Geography (Class 12). The calculation: 33% of 70 = 23.1, rounded down to 23. However, scoring 23 in theory alone is not enough to be declared pass: you must also score at least 10 out of 30 marks in the practical component to clear the subject. For subjects with an 80-mark theory paper (English, Mathematics, Social Science, Accountancy), the minimum theory passing score is 26 (33% of 80 = 26.4, rounded down to 26).
UBSE 33% Passing Marks — Quick Reference
| Total Marks (Component) | 33% Calculation | Minimum Passing Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Theory — Out of 80 | 80 × 0.33 = 26.4 | 26 |
| Theory — Out of 70 | 70 × 0.33 = 23.1 | 23 |
| Practical — Out of 30 | 30 × 0.33 = 9.9 | 10 |
| Internal Assessment — Out of 20 | 20 × 0.33 = 6.6 | 7 |
| Total Subject — Out of 100 | 100 × 0.33 = 33.0 | 33 |
UBSE Grading System
UBSE uses a nine-point grading scale for both the main board examination and the improvement exam. Grade D (33–40 marks) is the minimum passing grade; grades E1 (21–32 marks) and E2 (0–20 marks) both indicate failure — only students with an E1 grade in one or two subjects are eligible for the improvement exam, while E2 in any subject requires repeating the full year. UBSE also assigns pass certificates using a division system — First Division with Distinction, First, Second, and Third Division — based on the overall aggregate percentage.
| Grade | Marks Range | Grade Point | Classification |
|---|---|---|---|
| A1 | 91 – 100 | 10 | Outstanding (Merit list eligible) |
| 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 | Pass — minimum passing grade |
| E1 | 21 – 32 | — | Fail — Eligible for Improvement Exam (1–2 subjects) |
| E2 | 0 – 20 | — | Fail — Must repeat the full academic year |
UBSE pass certificates also carry a division classification based on aggregate percentage across all subjects:
| Division | Aggregate Score Range |
|---|---|
| First Division with Distinction | 75% and above |
| First Division | 60% – 74% |
| Second Division | 45% – 59% |
| Third Division | 33% – 44% |
| Fail | Below 33% in any subject |
Note: The UBSE official result notification specifies the grade and division for each student. Students improving their marks through the improvement exam may move to a higher division on their revised mark sheet if the updated aggregate crosses a division threshold.
UBSE Compartment Exam FAQs
Ques. What is the UBSE Compartment Exam — and what does UBSE officially call it?
Ans. UBSE officially calls this the Improvement Exam. The terms "Compartment Exam" and "Supplementary Exam" are widely used nationally for the same concept — giving students a second chance in subjects they failed. UBSE’s Improvement Exam serves a dual purpose: clearing failed subjects (the compartment function) and improving marks in already-passed subjects. Both categories of students register through the same official portal, ubse.info.in, with the same fee structure and deadline.
Ques. Who is eligible for the UBSE Improvement Exam 2027?
Ans. Students who appeared in the UBSE Class 10 or Class 12 main board examination 2027 and received an E1 grade (21–32 marks) in a maximum of 1 or 2 subjects are eligible. Students with an E2 grade (0–20 marks) in any subject, or who failed in 3 or more subjects, are not eligible and must re-enrol as regular students. Additionally, students who passed the exam but want to improve their marks in up to 2 subjects may also register for the improvement exam.
Ques. When will the UBSE Improvement Exam 2027 be held?
Ans. The UBSE Improvement Exam 2027 is expected to be held in July–August 2027, following the main board result declaration in May–June 2027. As of September 2026, the 2027 cycle has not yet begun. The official subject-wise timetable and application window dates will be published on ubse.uk.gov.in and ubse.info.in once UBSE issues the formal notification after the main board result. In 2025, the improvement exam ran August 4–11; in 2026, it was expected in July — so 2027 will likely fall in the same July–August window.
Ques. What is the fee for the UBSE Improvement Exam 2027?
Ans. Based on the 2026 fee structure, the expected fee is ₹200 per subject for Class 10 (High School) and ₹300 per subject for Class 12 (Intermediate). A late fee of approximately ₹50 applies for applications submitted in the final days of the registration window. Fees are paid online at ubse.info.in and are non-refundable once paid. The official 2027 fee will be confirmed in the board’s notification — check ubse.uk.gov.in before paying.
Ques. How many chances are given in the UBSE compartment exam?
Ans. UBSE provides three improvement exam attempts spread across successive exam cycles. The 1st attempt is in the same year as the main exam (July–August 2027). The 2nd attempt is available in the 2027–28 board cycle, and the 3rd in the 2028–29 cycle. Students who do not clear the failed subject(s) across all three attempts must re-enrol as regular students for the complete board examination. Each attempt is independent; you cannot accumulate scores across attempts.
Ques. What are the minimum passing marks in the UBSE Improvement Exam?
Ans. Students must score a minimum of 33% in both theory and practical/internal assessment, assessed independently. For an 80-mark theory paper (English, Mathematics, Social Science), the passing score is 26 marks. For a 70-mark theory paper (Hindi, Science, Physics, Chemistry, Biology), the passing score is 23 marks. For a 30-mark practical, the minimum is 10; for a 20-mark internal, it is 7. Both components must be cleared in the same attempt — a high theory score cannot compensate for a failed practical.
Ques. How do I apply for the UBSE Improvement Exam 2027?
Ans. The application must be submitted online at ubse.info.in during the official registration window (expected June 2027). Log in using your 2027 board exam roll number and date of birth, select "Improvement Exam 2027 — 1st", choose your subject(s) (max. 2), pay the fee online, and download the acknowledgement slip. Regular students can also apply through their school. Download the admit card from ubse.info.in once it is released (expected late June–early July 2027).
Ques. What happens if I fail the UBSE Improvement Exam?
Ans. Failing the 1st Improvement Exam does not exhaust your options. You retain the right to appear in the 2nd and 3rd improvement exam attempts in the following two academic cycles. Your mark sheet continues to show the failed status until you clear all required subjects. If you fail all three attempts, you must re-enrol as a regular Class 10 or Class 12 student for the complete board examination in the next academic session — this typically means losing approximately one academic year.
Ques. What does ’Pass (Improvement)’ mean on a UBSE mark sheet?
Ans. ’Pass (Improvement)’ on your UBSE mark sheet means you initially failed in one or two subjects in the main board examination but subsequently cleared those subjects in the improvement exam. UBSE issues a revised mark sheet reflecting this status, which is fully valid for Class 11 enrolment and undergraduate college admissions. The improvement exam marks replace the failed marks on the revised mark sheet, and the overall result is updated accordingly. For score-improvement candidates, the higher mark is retained.
Ques. Can a passed student appear in the UBSE Improvement Exam to improve their division?
Ans. Yes. UBSE allows students who have already passed the board exam to appear in the Improvement Exam for up to 2 subjects to boost their marks. This is useful for students who want to move from Second Division to First Division, or to improve their aggregate for competitive college admissions. The higher of the two marks — from the main exam or the improvement exam — is recorded on the revised mark sheet. Your existing pass status cannot be reduced; a lower improvement exam score is simply discarded.
