Hello aspirant,
Hope you are doing great.
As per your question, YES you can give the compartment exam for the CBSE if you have failed in english. The compartment exam can only be given if you have failed in one or two subjects. SO, if you have only failed in English then you can definitely give the exam.
Hope this helps!!
