I missed passing Biology by 1 mark in this year’s HS Science AHSEC Exam .  I received no grace marks & thus failed, while my friend got 6 in Physics & 8 in Chemistry. Please review? One mark could’ve changed my result.

To pass the AHSEC HS exams 2025, you need to score at least 30% of the total marks in subjects without practical exams, and 30% in the theory part and 40% in the practical part for subjects with practical exams.

Since you're expecting to score between 15 to 16 in Chemistry, which has a practical component, you'll likely need to appear for the compartment exam. However, the board may consider giving grace marks, but this is not guaranteed.

Keep in mind that passing in other subjects with 60+ will not directly impact the Chemistry result, but it's great that you're performing well in those subjects!

Hello student,

In AHSEC (Assam Board), the minimum passing marks for each subject are 30% of the total marks (both theory and practical combined). If your total in Chemistry (including practical) is below the passing mark, you may have to appear for the compartment exam .

The board may give grace marks in some cases, but it is not guaranteed. If you fail only in Chemistry while passing other subjects with good marks, you will likely be eligible for the compartment exam instead of failing the whole year.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

Hello,

In the Assam Higher Secondary Education Council (AHSEC) exams , the minimum passing mark for each subject is 30%. For Chemistry, this translates to 30 out of 100 marks. If you anticipate scoring between 15 to 16 marks, you would fall short of this requirement.

Regarding grace marks:

• AHSEC may award grace marks up to 5% of the maximum marks for a subject.

• This means a maximum of 5 extra marks can be added to your score.

• Even with the full 5 grace marks, your total would reach approximately 20 to 21 marks, which is still below the 30-mark passing threshold.

Therefore, it's likely that you would need to appear for a compartment examination in Chemistry to secure a passing grade.

However, since you're passing other subjects with 60+ marks, you may still qualify for overall promotion, depending on AHSEC's specific regulations.

Hope you find it useful !
