According to CBSE, securing a minimum of 33% marks in each subject is mandatory to pass Class 12. Under the grading system, grades ranging from A to D are considered a pass, whereas an ‘E’ grade signifies a failure. Consequently, it is essential to obtain a grade higher than ‘E’ in all subjects; otherwise, the student will be required to appear for a compartment examination or retake the exam.
