What is ‘Bochhor Bachao’?
The ‘Bochor Bachao’ scheme, introduced by the Tripura government in 2020, allows students who fail in up to two subjects to secure entry into colleges or the next class, provided they score a minimum of 150 marks. However, they must clear a re-test within 75 days of the results to continue their higher education.

Tripura Board of Secondary Education Pass Percentages
After the review, 3,199 Class 10 and 4,236 Class 12 students will take the ‘Bochhor Bachao’ exams. Dr. Dulal Dey, TBSE secretary, noted that the pass percentage for Class 10 is now 87.59%, a slight increase from the initial results announced in May.
Context and TBSE Bochhor Bachao Background
The ‘Bochhor Bachao’ exams are particularly significant this year due to the poor performance of schools that recently shifted affiliation from TBSE to CBSE under the Vidyajyoti scheme. The state government has announced remedial measures, including special classes and a modernized education approach. Opposition parties have criticized the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government for these poor results.
The TBSE’s ‘Bochhor Bachao’ exams offer a valuable second chance for students to continue their education despite initial setbacks. With the exams scheduled for the last week of July, students have a limited window to prepare and submit their forms. This initiative reflects the state government’s commitment to ensuring educational opportunities for all students, even those who face academic challenges.
