- Aggregate Pass: Students must secure at least 33% overall (approximately 198 out of 600) to be declared successful.

For students who may not be satisfied with their scores or those who failed to clear specific subjects, the board has introduced a “Three Annual Exam” system. The Exam-2 (Supplementary) schedule is expected to be announced shortly after the result declaration, allowing students to improve their scores without waiting for a full academic year.
Students who qualify can now proceed with their applications for higher education, focusing on the CET and NEET counseling sessions which typically follow the PUC result announcement.
