Hi

If you are going to appear for your class 12th CBSE board examination with 6 subjects then and fail in any one subject and passed to the 5 subject then in your result status will show passed as your overall pass with 5 subjects. And the subject in which you will fail will automatically move to the additional one.

For Instance,

I have done my 12th from CBSE board and I had a classmate who had five subjects :- physics chemistry math English Hindi and 6th subject as Hindustani music. In his result, he had failed in maths but his result was over passed as he was passed in rest of the five subjects and maths had automatically moved in the additional/6th subject column i. e got replaced by Hindustani music. Now, it was his choice whether he wanted to appear for compartment examination of Maths or not as he was over all passed. He didn't appear for compartment examination of Maths and right now he is pursuing BA from Allahabad University and he didn't face any problem in the admission process because of it.

Thank you
