About the HPBOSE Supplementary Examination

The Himachal Pradesh Board of School Education conducts the Class 10 and Class 12 Supplementary (Compartment) Examination for students who could not clear one or two subjects in the annual/main board examination held earlier in the year. This gives them a chance to pass the required subject(s) without losing an academic year. The provisional answer key released after the exam allows students to estimate their likely score and, if they spot an error, formally challenge it before the board finalises the answer key used for evaluation.

Important Instructions for Students

• Objections must reach HPBOSE on or before 17 August 2026, by 5:00 PM — this is the same day, so students should not delay
• Every objection must be supported by relevant documentary proof or evidence — objections without proof are unlikely to be considered
• Clearly mention your class and subject in every objection submitted
• Based on how HPBOSE has handled similar answer key challenge windows in the past, objections received after the deadline are not expected to be entertained
• Only the MCQ/objective portion of the answer key is open to challenge at this stage — descriptive/subjective answers are evaluated separately by examiners and are not part of this provisional key

Passing Criteria — HPBOSE Class 10 & 12 Supplementary

• Students must secure a minimum of 33% marks in each individual subject as well as 33% in the overall aggregate to be declared successful
• Where applicable, the 33% requirement applies separately to the theory, practical, and internal assessment components of a subject — falling below 33% in even one component can result in a fail/compartment for that subject, regardless of the overall total
• Students who do not clear a subject in the supplementary exam as well will need to follow the board’s process for the next attempt, as per the applicable rules for that stream/class

What Happens After the Answer Key — Revaluation & Rechecking Process

Once the HPBOSE supplementary result is declared, students who are not satisfied with their marks can generally apply for revaluation or rechecking of their answer sheets through their respective school, via the board’s online system on hpbose.org. Based on the board’s established practice for such requests:

• Revaluation fee: Typically around ₹1,000 per subject
• Rechecking fee: Typically around ₹800 per subject
• To apply for revaluation, a candidate must generally have secured at least 20% marks in the relevant subject
• Applications must be submitted online through the school, and are valid only when accompanied by the prescribed fee

Note: These figures reflect the board’s process in recent cycles — always confirm the exact fee and deadline from the official HPBOSE notification once the result and revaluation window are formally announced.
