Hello Dear Student,

If you cleared your Accounts compartment/improvement exam in 2026 and received an updated marksheet , then for most college admission forms you should:

• Year of Passing: 2026 , because this is the year you fulfilled the eligibility requirements and obtained your final qualifying marksheet.
• Marks: Enter the marks and aggregate shown on your updated 2026 marksheet , if the form asks for your final qualifying examination results.
• Compartment/Improvement: If the application form specifically asks whether you appeared in a compartment or improvement examination, answer truthfully and provide the required details.
• Document Verification: Keep both your original 2025 marksheet/passing certificate (if issued) and your updated 2026 marksheet ready, as some colleges may ask to verify your academic record.

Hope it helps!
