Hello ,

I hope you are doing well. As per your mentioned query, if you fail in main exam like Maths then your result will not show overall pass. Your result will go under compartment section where you have to pass your compartment exam first then your result will declare as pass.

I hope this will be helpful for you !!

Hello there,

If you fail in one of the main subjects like Mathematics but pass in other subjects such as Physics, Chemistry, English, Hindi, and Physical Education, your overall result will depend on the specific board's passing criteria:

  1. CBSE and Most State Boards – To be declared as "Pass," you need to:

    • Pass in at least 5 subjects (including English).
    • If you fail in one main subject but pass in others, you may still be declared "Pass" if you meet the minimum requirement of passing 5 subjects.

  2. Compartment Exam – If you fail in one subject, most boards will allow you to appear for a compartment exam to clear the failed subject.

  3. Result Status – If you pass the compartment exam, your result will be updated to "Pass." If you fail in the compartment exam as well, your overall result might be marked as "Fail."

So, if you pass in 5 subjects, including Physics, Chemistry, English, and others, your overall result could still show "Pass." However, failing in two or more main subjects will likely result in a "Fail."


I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, then feel free to share your questions with us, we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

If you fail in one main subject (e.g., Mathematics) but pass in other subjects, your overall result depends on your board’s passing criteria. Most boards require passing in at least 5 subjects, and if you have an additional subject (like Physical Education), it may replace the failed subject. If Mathematics is compulsory, you might need to appear for a compartment exam. Check your board’s rules for confirmation.

In most Indian boards, including CBSE, ICSE, and state boards, the passing criteria typically require students to pass in all the main subjects, including mathematics. If you fail in mathematics but pass in physics, chemistry, English, Hindi, and physical education, your overall result will likely show "fail" or "compartment" in the main subjects.


However, some boards may offer a "compartment" or "supplementary" option, allowing you to reappear for the mathematics exam and potentially pass. In this case, your overall result might be withheld until you clear the compartment exam.


It's essential to check your board's specific passing criteria and compartment rules to understand the implications of failing in one main subject.
