Understanding the MBOSE Passing Criteria

Minimum 33% in theory paper: Since the theory paper is for 80 marks, students must score at least 26 marks out of 80.
Minimum 33% in internal assessment: The internal assessment carries 20 marks, and students must secure at least 7 marks.
Overall, 33% in each subject: This includes the combined total of theory and internal assessment marks. For example, in a subject with 80 theory marks and 20 internal assessment marks, the total is 100, and the student needs at least 33 marks combined.
Minimum aggregate: Students must secure at least 30% overall across all subjects.
Grace Marks Provision
In certain cases, the board may award grace marks within permissible limits to help students who narrowly miss the qualifying criteria.
MBOSE SSLC 2026: Pass Percentage Trend Analysis
This year’s pass percentage of 86.84 percent marks a slight dip compared to last year’s 87.10 percent. However, when viewed in the context of previous years, the results represent a remarkable improvement over the pre-2025 era.
Here is a year-by-year breakdown of MBOSE SSLC pass percentages:
Year | Pass Percentage | Change from Previous Year |
2019 | 76.56% | — |
2020 | 50.31% | -26.25% |
2021 | 52.90% | +2.59% |
2022 | 56.96% | +4.06% |
2023 | 51.93% | -5.03% |
2024 | 55.80% | +3.87% |
2025 | 87.10% | +31.30% |
2026 | 86.84% | -0.26% |
The dramatic jump in pass percentage from 55.80% in 2024 to 87.10% in 2025 was a historic improvement. While 2026 has seen a marginal decline of just 0.26%, the results remain significantly higher than all pre-2025 years, indicating sustained improvement in Meghalaya’s educational outcomes.
It is also worth noting that with supplementary examinations, the overall pass percentage in 2025 had risen to 96.02%. A similar trend may be expected for 2026.
What’s Next for Students? Re-evaluation and Supplementary Exams
Re-evaluation / Re-checking
Students who are not satisfied with their marks have the option to apply for re-evaluation (also known as re-checking). Important points to remember:
Only theory papers are eligible for re-evaluation.
Marks obtained in practical or internal assessments cannot be challenged.
Applications must be submitted online within the stipulated window announced by MBOSE.
A prescribed fee is applicable for each subject.
The marks awarded after re-evaluation, whether higher or lower, will be treated as final by the board.
Supplementary / Compartment Examinations
Students who have failed in one or more subjects need not lose hope. MBOSE conducts supplementary examinations (also known as compartment exams) for such students. Typically, these exams are held a few months after the main result declaration. Students who clear the supplementary exams will be awarded their passing certificates. The pass percentage often sees a significant boost after the supplementary round.
