Punjab Board Class X Result Previous Year Statistics

Looking at the last five years, the PSEB Class 10 pass percentage has shown a steady decline after an unusually high 2021 result, when written exams were replaced with CCE-based assessment due to COVID-19. From 97.94% in 2022, the pass rate has fallen to 94.52% in 2026 — a drop of 3.42 percentage points over four exam years, suggesting progressively stricter evaluation standards.

Year	Total Appeared	Overall Pass %	Boys Pass %	Girls Pass %	Result Date
2026	2,69,505	94.52%	93.23%	95.96%	May 11, 2026
2025	2,77,746	95.61%	94.50%	96.85%	May 16, 2025
2024	2,81,098	97.24%	96.47%	98.11%	April 18, 2024
2023	2,81,327	97.54%	96.73%	98.46%	May 26, 2023
2022	3,23,361	97.94%	98.83%*	99.34%*	July 5, 2022
2021	3,21,384	99.93%**	99.92%	99.94%	May 18, 2021

* 2022 gender figures apply to regular-batch candidates only. ** 2021 result was based on internal assessment (CCE) — no written board exams were held due to COVID-19. The 99.93% figure is not comparable to regular exam years.

Girls have outperformed boys in every single year — a pattern that has held without exception across all six years. The number of students appearing has also fallen, from over 3.2 lakh in 2021–22 to about 2.7 lakh in 2026, reflecting demographic shifts across Punjab.

Punjab Board Class X Toppers (2022–2026)

The table below lists the Class X toppers of the Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) from 2022 to 2026.

Year	Topper(s)	District	Marks Scored	Score (%)

2025	Akshnoor Kaur, Ratinderdeep Kaur, Arshdeep Kaur (3-way tie)	Faridkot / Sri Muktsar Sahib / Malerkotla	650/650	100%

2023	Gagandeep Kaur	Faridkot	650/650	100%

From 2023 to 2025, at least one student scored a perfect 650/650 each year. In 2026, the top score was 646/650. Girls topped the board in every year from 2022 to 2025. Harseen Sharma (2026) is the first male topper since the CCE-based 2021 results, ending a four-year streak.

Punjab Board Class X Result 2026: Marksheet Details

Your PSEB Class 10 marksheet has everything you need for Class 11 admissions and future records. Here is what it contains:

• Your full name as registered with PSEB
• Roll Number and Registration Number
• Father’s name and Mother’s name
• School name and school code
• Subject-wise marks — split into theory marks and internal assessment marks
• Total marks obtained and overall percentage
• Subject-wise grades and overall GPA
• Pass / Fail status
• Merit or Distinction category (if applicable)

Go through your marksheet carefully as soon as you receive it. If you spot a mistake — in your name, date of birth, or subject-wise marks — report it to your school right away. The school then raises the correction request with PSEB. Do not delay; corrections take time and can hold up your Class 11 admission.

Punjab Board Class X Grading System 2026

PSEB uses a 10-point grading scale for the Class 10 result. Each subject gets a grade based on the percentage of marks you score in it. Your overall GPA is the average of grade points across all subjects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to check my PSEB Class 10 result 2026?

You need your Roll Number from your admit card. Some result portals also ask for your Date of Birth as a second check. Keep your admit card ready before visiting pseb.ac.in.

What if pseb.ac.in is not loading?

Board result websites often slow down due to heavy traffic on result day. If pseb.ac.in is not opening, try the SMS method — type PB10 [space] [Roll Number] and send to 5676750. You can also try DigiLocker or wait a few hours for traffic to ease before checking online.

Is the DigiLocker marksheet accepted for Class 11 admissions?

Yes. The PSEB Class 10 marksheet on DigiLocker is digitally signed and legally valid. Most schools accept it for provisional Class 11 enrollment. Your school will separately distribute the original hard-copy marksheet a few weeks after result day.

PSEB Class 10 Grading System

The Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) uses a grade-based system for Class 10 results. Grades are assigned based on the percentage of marks scored in each subject.

Grade	Marks Range (%)	Grade Points
A+	91 – 100	10
A	81 – 90	9
B+	71 – 80	8
B	61 – 70	7
C+	51 – 60	6
C	41 – 50	5
D	33 – 40	4
Fail	Below 33	—

How to Convert GPA to Percentage

Multiply your GPA by 9.5 to get an indicative percentage. For example, a GPA of 8.0 (B+) gives approximately 76%.

This figure is indicative and may vary slightly by subject combination. Grade D (33–40%) is the minimum passing grade.

How is GPA Calculated in PSEB Class 10?

Your PSEB GPA is the average of grade points across all your subjects. Each grade corresponds to a marks range — for example, scoring 71–80% in a subject gives 8 grade points (B+), and 81–90% gives 9 points (A).

Add all your grade points and divide by the number of subjects to get your overall GPA. Scoring below 33% in any one subject means you fail that subject — regardless of how well you did in the others.

Punjab Board Class X Passing Marks 2026

To pass the PSEB Class 10 exam, you must clear each subject on its own. Passing the overall aggregate alone is not enough — every subject must individually meet the minimum marks threshold set by the board.

Category	Minimum Marks to Pass
General Subjects (Theory)	33% of total theory marks per subject
Internal Assessment / Practical	Must be cleared separately from theory component
Punjabi and Punjab History & Culture	25% (lower threshold for these two subjects)
Overall Aggregate	165 out of 500 marks (33%)

If you pass the theory portion of a subject but fail the internal assessment — or vice versa — you are considered to have failed that subject. Both components must individually meet the minimum threshold.

You then qualify only for the compartment exam (if you failed in 1–2 subjects total), not an automatic pass.

Grace Marks

PSEB gives grace marks to borderline students — those who narrowly miss the passing threshold in a subject. The board awards up to 1% of total marks (up to 5 marks on a 500-mark exam) to help marginal students cross the passing line.

• Grace marks are applied automatically by PSEB — you do not need to apply for them separately.
• They are given only if you are just below the passing threshold in a subject.
• They cannot raise an already-passing score or improve your grade or GPA ranking.
• Their purpose is strictly to prevent failure in a subject you came very close to passing.

If you failed a subject by a small margin and believe grace marks should have helped, you can raise the issue during re-evaluation or rechecking. The process sometimes uncovers totalling errors that affect borderline cases.

Re-evaluation and Rechecking 2026

PSEB has opened the post-result verification window for Class 10 students. Students can apply for a scanned copy of their answer sheet, rechecking, or full re-evaluation. The window closes on May 30, 2026.

Apply online at pseb.ac.in/onlineforms.

Services Available and Fee

Service	What It Means	Fee (per subject)
Scanned Copy of Answer Sheet	PSEB sends you a scanned image of your evaluated answer book so you can review it yourself	Rs. 500
Rechecking	PSEB re-totals your marks — checks that all answers are marked and totals are added correctly	Rs. 500
Re-evaluation	Your answer sheet is re-marked from scratch by a different examiner	Rs. 1,000

How to Apply — Step by Step

1. Go to pseb.ac.in/onlineforms.
2. Log in with your Roll Number and Date of Birth.
3. Select the subject(s) you want to challenge.
4. Choose the service type — Scanned Copy, Rechecking, or Re-evaluation.
5. Pay the fee online (UPI, net banking, debit/credit card). Fees apply per subject.
6. Submit and save or print your confirmation receipt.

Key Points to Know Before You Apply

• Re-evaluation is available for theory papers only — practical and internal assessment marks are not reconsidered.
• You can apply for more than one subject — each is charged separately.
• After re-evaluation, marks can increase, decrease, or stay the same. There is no guarantee of improvement.
• Many students first apply for the scanned copy (Rs. 500) to review their own answers, then decide whether to pursue full re-evaluation.
• Re-evaluation results are expected in July 2026.
• No offline applications — the entire process is online only.
• Deadline: May 30, 2026 (11:59 PM) — no extensions have been announced.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ques. Can re-evaluation lower my marks?

Ans. Yes. If a different examiner scores your answer sheet lower than the original, PSEB updates your marks to the lower figure. This is the main risk with re-evaluation. Rechecking (totalling verification) is a lower-risk first step — it only checks that all answers are counted and totals are correct, and can only raise your marks if a counting error is found.

Ques. Can I apply for both rechecking and re-evaluation for the same subject?

Ans. A common approach is to first get the scanned copy (Rs. 500) to see your answer sheet, then apply for rechecking or re-evaluation based on what you find. Check pseb.ac.in for the current rules on combining multiple services for the same subject in the 2026 cycle.

Punjab Board Class X Compartment Exam 2026

Students who failed in one or two subjects do not have to repeat the full year. PSEB gives a chance to clear those specific subjects through the Compartment Exam, expected in July–August 2026.

Exact dates will be published on pseb.ac.in.

PSEB Class 10 Compartment Exam 2026

The Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) compartment exam is for students who failed in 1 or 2 subjects in the Class 10 board exam. Students who failed in 3 or more subjects must repeat Class 10 as a full-year student.

Who Can Appear

• Students who failed in 1 or 2 subjects can appear for the compartment exam.
• Students who failed in 3 or more subjects cannot appear — they must repeat Class 10 as a full-year student.
• You only need to attempt the failed subject(s). You do not need to re-sit subjects you already passed.

Exam Date and Application

Aspect	Detail
Tentative Exam Date	July – August 2026
How to Apply	Through your school — the school submits the form and fee to PSEB on your behalf
Exact Date Sheet	Will be notified on pseb.ac.in after the main result cycle

Talk to your school about the compartment exam application as soon as the dates are announced. The school coordinates the submission — do not wait for the last day since schools need time to process and submit forms in bulk.

Marksheet After Compartment Exam

Students who clear the compartment exam receive a supplementary marksheet from PSEB showing the updated marks for the subject(s) they cleared. The original marksheet stays as-is; the supplementary sheet is issued separately. Both documents together serve as proof of completing Class 10. Contact your school for details on how PSEB formats the final certificate for compartment pass-outs.

What After Punjab Board Class X Result 2026?

Once your result is out, here are the key steps to take next — whether you passed, want to challenge your marks, or need another attempt.

• Choose your stream for Class 11: Class 11 admissions open shortly after the board result. You can pick Science (Medical or Non-Medical), Commerce, or Arts/Humanities based on your marks and your interests. Government school admissions in Punjab typically start in June–July 2026.
• Apply for re-evaluation if needed: Not happy with your marks? The window is open — but closes on May 30, 2026. Apply at pseb.ac.in immediately if you want to challenge any subject.
• Download your DigiLocker marksheet: Use the digital copy for provisional enrollment in Class 11 while your hard-copy marksheet is being distributed by your school.
• Collect your original marksheet: Schools distribute the hard-copy PSEB marksheet a few weeks after result day. You will need it for formal admissions to Class 11.
• Compartment exam (if applicable): If you failed in 1–2 subjects, apply through your school for the compartment exam, expected in July–August 2026. Do not wait — school application deadlines for compartment forms come up quickly.
• Check your marksheet for errors: Verify name, date of birth, and all subject marks carefully. Report any discrepancy to your school without delay — PSEB corrections take time and can hold up admissions.

Keep your admit card, marksheet (digital and hard copy), and school Transfer Certificate (TC) ready. These three documents are needed for every Class 11 admission — government or private.

Rechecking	Rs. 500
Re-evaluation	Rs. 1,000

What is the difference between rechecking and re-evaluation in PSEB?

Rechecking (Rs. 500) only verifies totalling — it checks that all answers are marked and marks are added correctly. It does not involve re-marking and can only raise your marks if a counting error is found. Re-evaluation (Rs. 1,000) means a different examiner re-marks your entire answer sheet from scratch. Re-evaluation can raise or lower your marks.

What Happens If I Fail in 3 or More Subjects in PSEB Class 10?

Students who fail in 3 or more subjects are not eligible for the compartment exam. They must repeat Class 10 as a full-year student in the next academic year.

• They cannot raise an already-passing score.

Has the PSEB Class 10 Pass Percentage Been Declining?

Year	Pass Percentage
2022	97.94%

Rural students	95.35%

Difference Between Rechecking and Re-evaluation

Rechecking (Rs. 500) only verifies totalling. It checks that all answers are marked and marks are added correctly. It does not involve re-marking and can only raise your marks if a counting error is found.

Re-evaluation (Rs. 1,000) means a different examiner re-marks your entire answer sheet from scratch. Re-evaluation can raise or lower your marks.

Can Re-evaluation Lower Your Marks

Yes. If a different examiner scores your answer sheet lower than the original, PSEB updates your marks to the lower figure. This is the main risk with re-evaluation.

Rechecking is a lower-risk first step as it only checks that all answers are counted and totals are correct.

Combining Services for the Same Subject

A common approach is to first get the scanned copy (Rs. 500) to see your answer sheet, then apply for rechecking or re-evaluation based on what you find.

Check pseb.ac.in for the current rules on combining multiple services for the same subject in the 2026 cycle.

Compartment Exam

Students who clear the compartment exam receive a supplementary marksheet from PSEB showing the updated marks for the subject(s) they cleared.

The original marksheet stays as-is; the supplementary sheet is issued separately. Both documents together serve as proof of completing Class 10.

Contact your school for details on how PSEB formats the final certificate for compartment pass-outs.

DigiLocker Marksheet

The PSEB Class 10 marksheet on DigiLocker is digitally signed and legally valid. Most schools accept it for provisional Class 11 enrollment.

Your school will separately distribute the original hard-copy marksheet a few weeks after result day.

PSEB Class 10 Grace Marks Policy

PSEB applies grace marks automatically for borderline students. There is no separate application process for grace marks.

• Grace marks can be up to 1% of total marks.
• On a 500-mark exam, this equals 5 marks.
• They are awarded only to students who narrowly miss the passing threshold in a subject.
• Grace marks cannot raise an already-passing score.

PSEB Class 10 Pass Percentage Trend

The PSEB Class 10 pass percentage has declined steadily in recent years. This excludes the COVID year of 2021, when exams were replaced with internal assessments.

Year	Pass Percentage
2022	97.94%
2026	94.52%

This decline reflects progressively stricter evaluation over the years. Girls have outperformed boys consistently in every year during this period.

Rural vs Urban Student Performance in PSEB Class 10

In 2026, rural students performed better than urban students in the PSEB Class 10 exam. This pattern reflects strong academic performance in Punjab's government and rural schools.

Student Category	Pass Rate (2026)
