Greetings!

I am making an assumption that either you belong to CBSE board or your board follows the same rules as CBSE, as those are most widely accepted ones, with that in mind let's start.

See according to rules laid down by CBSE you can appear for compartment for total of 3 times, once after examination in the same year, then in next year when normal boards will be going on( March/April) then in compartment for that boards, however it also very clearly mentions that if any candidate fails or doesn't appears in any of the compartment exams, then he/she will have to appear for ALL the subjects in the following years board examinations.

So in conclusion if you don't appear for compartment exam you will have to appear for ALL five subjects next year
