Most StatesClass 9+Minimum passing marks vary (28-40%) depending on state board.

How Schools Handle Detained Students

  • Parent meeting: Schedule individual PTMs to discuss performance and improvement plans
  • Re-examination: Many schools offer a supplementary exam before final results
  • Grace marks: Some boards allow up to 5-10 grace marks for borderline cases
  • Remedial classes: Provide extra coaching in weak subjects during summer break
  • Conditional promotion: Promote with the condition of improved performance by mid-term

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum marks required for promotion in CBSE schools?

CBSE requires a minimum of 33% in each subject for Classes 9 and above. For Classes 1-8, the RTE Act previously mandated no-detention, but the 2019 amendment allows states to permit detention at Class 5 and 8.

Can a student be detained for low attendance?

Yes. Most boards require 75% minimum attendance. Schools can detain students with insufficient attendance even if their marks are passing. Some boards allow medical certificate-based relaxation.

How do I handle students who fail in just one subject?

CBSE allows compartment exams for students failing in 1-2 subjects. Many state boards have similar provisions. Schools can also give grace marks (typically 5-10) in one subject.
