Hello,

If your brother has failed in English (as an additional subject) along with two main subjects , then he is not eligible for the compartment exam.

Compartment is allowed only if a student fails in one or two main subjects . Since he has failed in two main subjects, he would not qualify for the compartment exam. He may have to appear for a re-exam (improvement) or repeat the year , depending on the board's rules.

Hope it helps !
