Candidate Categories & Rules:
- Compartment Candidates: Those who failed one or more papers in 9th Class 2026 1st Annual examination can register exclusively for their failed subject(s). Marks obtained in cleared subjects are preserved.
- Composite / Full Subjects: Candidates failing all subjects or seeking a complete fresh attempt can register for composite SSC examinations alongside 10th grade.
- Marks Improvement: Candidates who passed with Grades C, D, or E can retake up to four subjects to improve their standing for college admissions. The higher score between both attempts is officially retained.
