The CBSE 12th supplementary exam 2026, now officially renamed from compartment exam, is scheduled for July 15, 2026, with results expected in the first week of August. Students who failed in one or two subjects can appear for this exam to clear their Class 12 without losing a full academic year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For LOC submission related to supplementary exams, the process began from June 2, 2026 and is entirely online.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>After 12th Science Courses List: Best Options for 2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For students who have passed, choosing from the <\/span><b>after 12th science courses list<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the most critical decision.
