Hello Aspirant,

If a student in Class 12 with 5 main subjects fails in 2 or more subjects, his result bears “Essential Repeat”. Essentially, it means that a student has not secured passing marks in minimum subjects required to appear in compartment exam. If a student is unable to meet the qualifying criteria, they will be placed in the "essential repeat" or "compartment" category. Students who are not satisfied can appear again when the CBSE conducts the Class 12 board exams.

This means that you have to give that exam again.

All the best!!
