HPBOSE 12th Passing Marks for Theory and Practical 2026- Check HP Board 12th Passing Marks Subject Wise
The Himachal Pradesh Board of School Education (HPBOSE) sets specific passing criteria for Class 12th examinations. Here are the passing marks for theory and practical subjects in 2025:
HP Board 12th Passing Marks (2025)
| Component | Passing Marks (Out of 100) |
|---|---|
| Theory | 33% (33 marks) |
| Practical | 33% (33 marks) |
Important Points:
Overall Passing Requirement:
Students must score at least 33% in both theory and practical (if applicable) separately to pass a subject.
For subjects with only theory, a minimum of 33% in theory is required.
Compartmental Exam:
If a student fails in one or two subjects, they can appear for compartmental exams (conducted later in the same year).
Failing in more than two subjects requires repeating the entire Class 12th exam.
Grace Marks:
HPBOSE may provide up to 5 grace marks in one subject if a student is short by a few marks (subject to board rules).

Theory: 33/100
Practical/Project (if any): 33/100
Arts Stream (History, Political Science, Geography, etc.):
Mostly theory-based, so 33/100 in each subject.
Final Result Calculation
The total percentage is calculated based on theory + practical (if any).
Students must pass all subjects individually to clear the HPBOSE 12th exam.
