• Students who were absent in one or more papers during the main exams.

• Students who have passed but want to improve marks in one subject (optional).

MPBSE has clearly outlined that only registered students of affiliated schools can apply through the official website MPOnline.gov.in via their schools.

MP Board Supplementary Exam Dates 2025

The Class 10 supplementary exams will be held from 17 June to 26 June 2025, while Class 12 supplementary exams will take place from 17 June to 5 July 2025.

Exam Timings:

• 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM (3 hours duration)

Subject-Wise Tentative Exam Schedule

Although MPBSE has released an official timetable, here’s a tentative breakdown of major subjects based on previous years:

Class 10 (High School) – 17 June to 26 June 2025

Class 12 (Higher Secondary) – 17 June to 5 July 2025

Note: Students must confirm with their schools or MPBSE’s official website for the finalized timetable.

Minimum Passing Criteria

To pass the MP Board Class 10 or 12 exams (main or supplementary), students must:

• Score at least 33% in each subject individually.

• Achieve an overall average of 33% across all subjects.

This passing rule applies to all candidates, including those appearing for mark improvement in a single subject.

Mark Improvement Option Also Available

Students who have already passed the board exam in the first attempt but are unsatisfied with their marks in any one subject can also appear in the second exam to improve their score.

This allows students to:

• Secure better marks for college admissions.

• Increase their overall percentage and competitive exam eligibility.

Internal and Practical Marks Will Be Carried Forward

MPBSE has announced that students need not reappear for practical or internal assessment exams in the supplementary session.

Marks obtained in:

• Internal assessments

• Practical examinations (lab work, projects)

… during the main exam cycle will be considered valid for the supplementary exams as well.

This means students only need to focus on their theory papers.

Provisional Admission Allowed for Next Class

In a student-friendly move, MPBSE has allowed students appearing in supplementary exams to take provisional admission in the next academic year, pending their results.

For example:

• A Class 10 student can take provisional admission in Class 11.

• A Class 12 student can apply for undergraduate courses (admission subject to result).

This initiative ensures that students do not lose academic time while waiting for their supplementary results.
