What is the passing marks out of 80 in cbse?
1 answer(s)
The magic number for passing in CBSE is 33%.
For your 80-mark theory paper, this comes out to 26.4 marks. So, you need to score 27 marks to be on the safe side.
But wait, there’s an important detail here. The rule is slightly different for Class 10 and Class 12. For Class 12, you absolutely must score a minimum of 27 in the theory paper. For Class 10, however, it's more relaxed. They look at your combined score (theory + internal assessment). As long as you get 33 out of 100 in total, you've passed.
