The candidate need only show up for the theory paper in courses where there is a distinction between the practical and theoretical marks; the practical marks will be carried over.

He will need to retake both the practical and theory segments of the exam if he fails both of them.

A student who did not pass the class 10th or class 12th board test may reapply as a private candidate or as an enrolled regular student.
