JKBOSE 10th Passing Marks 2025: Subject-Wise Pass Criteria Explained
The Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) has defined clear passing criteria for the 2024–25 academic session to ensure that students achieve the required academic standards before advancing to higher studies.
According to the latest guidelines, JKBOSE Class 10 students must score a minimum of 33% in each subject, while Class 12 students need at least 33% in General English and 36% in each elective subject. These criteria apply to both theory and practical components, wherever applicable. Meeting these minimum marks in every subject is essential for students to qualify for the board examinations.
JKBOSE Class 10 Passing Marks 2025
For Class 10, the passing standard is uniform across all subjects — students must obtain 33 marks out of 100 in each paper, including English, Hindi, Urdu, Mathematics, Science, and Social Science.
Most subjects include both theory and practical/internal assessment components. Typically, the theory paper carries 80 marks, and the internal or practical assessment accounts for 20 marks. Students must secure the minimum passing marks in both sections to pass the subject, as failing in either can lead to an overall failure.
Similarly, subjects like Mathematics and Business Studies follow a different structure, where the theory paper is worth 80 marks, and students must score at least 29 marks to pass, while the internal assessment is worth 20 marks, with a minimum of 7 marks required. The presence of practical components in many subjects highlights the importance of hands-on learning and internal assessments in evaluating students’ understanding of the concepts. It also emphasizes that students must balance their preparation between theory and practicals to meet the passing criteria successfully.
Another key aspect of JKBOSE’s passing criteria is the provision of notional marks, often considered similar to grace marks. This provision allows students who narrowly miss the passing marks in one or more subjects to receive up to 5 extra marks to help them pass. However, these additional marks are not added to the total aggregate or subject-wise marks but are granted solely to enable students to clear their exams. It is important to note that this concession applies only to theory exams and does not extend to practical examinations or internal assessments. Thus, students who fail to meet the required marks in the practical components cannot rely on notional marks to pass.
The internal assessment component plays a crucial role in subjects with practical exams, as students must secure at least 36% in both theory and practicals combined to pass. Even if a student performs exceptionally well in theory but fails to meet the required marks in practicals, they will not be considered as having passed the subject. This reinforces the importance of practical exams and internal assessments in evaluating students’ overall performance. Since many students focus primarily on theory papers, they must also pay attention to practical exams to ensure they meet the passing criteria.
