The board said to facilitate students to improve their grades or marks to pursue higher education with their choice of subjects, provision is given to qualified/passed candidates to appear in improvement examinations in the same year. A successful candidate at the HSLC/HSSLC examination desirous of improving his/her performance will be given one chance in June/July of the same year to appear in three or fewer subjects. This provision will also help students to have the best results of two examination options as envisioned in NEP 2020.

Only one chance that is in June/July of the same year is permissible for improvement of performance. The result of the improvement examination will in no way affect the overall ranking of the main examination. The candidates will be given the option to choose his/her result from the two examinations – main and the improvement.

Provision for candidates who qualified at the HSLC examination but needs improvement in one subject will be allowed to reappear in the needs improvement subject at the immediate examination so that they can apply for courses, fulfill certain recruitment criteria and employment where they need to pass in all the subjects they have opted.

Besides the HSLC compartmental examination, compartmental examinations for HSSLC students will be introduced from 2023. Two chances to appear for compartmental examination will be allowed to clear the failed subjects to reduce and prevent the drop-out rate at HSLC and HSSLC examinations.
