Odisha CHSE Subject-Wise Minimum Passing Marks 2026: The board requires 30% in every subject and 33% aggregate (198 out of 600) to pass. Results are expected on May 15, 2026 and this story was updated on Apr 1, 2026 .
Odisha CHSE Subject-Wise Minimum Passing Marks 2026 — What you must score
You must get at least 30% in each subject and a total of 198/600 (33%) across six subjects. For practical subjects you must clear both components — theory and practical — with 30% in each . For theory-only subjects, the theory paper itself must have 30% .
Scoring below 30% in the theory paper counts as failure for that subject even if your practical score is higher. The minimum passing grade on the 9-point scale is D (33–40) ; grades E1/E2 are failing grades.
Odisha CHSE Subject-Wise Minimum Passing Marks 2026 — Subject breakups
Below is the subject-wise maximum marks and minimum passing marks you should aim for.
| Subject | Theory max | Theory pass | Practical/IA max | Practical/IA pass | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| English, MIL, History, Political Science | 80 | 24 | 20 (IA) | N/A | Overall pass 30 |
| Mathematics | 100 | 30 | N/A | N/A | Overall pass 30 |
| Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science | 70 | 21 | 30 | 9 | Must pass both parts |
| Vocational Studies | 40 | 12 | 60 | 18 | Combined pattern |
Key numbers to remember: theory-only subjects follow an 80+20 (theory+IA) split; science practical subjects follow a 70+30 split. If you score 24/80 in a theory paper or 21/70 in a science theory, that meets the 30% rule.
Grading and pass threshold
CHSE uses a 9-point grading scale. The top band is A1 (91–100) and the fail band is E2 (0–20) . To pass, aim for at least a D grade (33–40) in each subject and meet the 33% aggregate target.
