Promotion & Detention List
Promotion Policies in Indian Schools
Promotion criteria vary based on the level and regulatory framework:
| Framework | Level | Policy |
|---|---|---|
| RTE Act | Class 1-8 | No detention policy (automatic promotion). Changed in 2019 — states can now detain at Class 5 and 8. |
| CBSE | Class 9-10 | Must pass with minimum 33% in each subject. Students failing can re-appear in compartment exam. |
| CBSE | Class 11-12 | Minimum 33% aggregate and subject-wise passing marks required. |
| Most States | Class 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
