As per the update, the National Credit Framework (NCrF), as envisioned in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, emphasises the adoption of Credit Transfer Policy at various stages of education.
Therefore, the NBSE has increased the eligibility criteria for both compartmental and improvement exams from three to four subjects, starting from the 2024 examinations.
Now, students can appear for compartmental exams in a maximum of four subjects they did not clear in the main exams. Those who have passed the main exams but wish to improve their scores can appear for improvement exams in up to four subjects, it said.
Provision for candidates who qualified at the HSLC examination but secured ‘Needs Improvement’ in one subject are also given the opportunity to reappear in the subject at the immediate examination so that they can apply for courses, fulfill certain recruitment criteria and employment where they need to pass in all the subjects they have opted, the board said.
Further, it said that the board will begin distributing result documents to Centre Superintendents from July 18 onwards.
