What is the passing marks for GSEB class 10 Board Exam 2026?

To clear the GSEB Class 10 (SSC) Board Exam 2026, students must meet the following passing criteria set by the Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board:

1. The 33% Rule

The basic requirement for passing is scoring at least 33% marks in each subject and in aggregate.¹ Since each paper is evaluated out of 100 marks, you need a minimum of 33 marks per subject.

2. Theory vs. Internal Breakdown

The 100 marks for each subject are divided into a written theory exam and school-based internal assessments. You must clear both as follows:

Component	Total Marks	Minimum Passing Marks
Theory Exam	80 Marks	26 Marks
Internal Assessment	20 Marks	07 Marks
Total (Per Subject)	100 Marks	33 Marks

3. Grading System

The GSEB uses a 9-point grading system.² To be declared "Pass," a student must secure at least a 'D' Grade.

Grade	Marks Range	Status
A1	91 - 100	Pass (Excellent)
A2	81 - 90	Pass (Very Good)
B1	71 - 80	Pass (Good)
B2	61 - 70	Pass (Above Average)
C1	51 - 60	Pass (Average)
C2	41 - 50	Pass (Fair)
D	33 - 40	Pass (Minimum)
E1	21 - 32	Needs Improvement (Fail)
E2	00 - 20	Needs Improvement (Fail)

4. Important Exceptions & Policies

• Differently Abled Students: For students with disabilities, the passing threshold is lowered to 20% (20 marks out of 100).³

• Grace Marks: If a student fails by a very small margin in one or two subjects, the board may grant "Grace Marks" (usually between 1 and 15 marks total) to help them reach the 33% passing mark. However, this is at the board's discretion based on the overall performance.

• Supplementary Exams: If you fail to score 33% in one or two subjects, you can appear for the SSC Supplementary Exams, which are typically held in June 2026 to save your academic year.⁴

💡 Note: It is mandatory to appear for both the theory and internal assessments. If a student is absent for the theory exam, they will be marked "Failed" regardless of their internal marks.
