HPBOSE Announces Matric Second Examination Results: Combined Pass Rate Climbs to 89.54%
The Himachal Pradesh Board of School Education (HPBOSE) has officially released the results for the Matric (Class 10) second examination, held in July 2026. This year marks a significant milestone for the board as it transitions to a new academic framework designed to offer students greater flexibility and support.
Success of the Dual Board Examination System
The July examination was conducted under the newly introduced Dual board examination system, which allows students appearing for improvement, compartment, and additional subjects to refine their academic standing without the need to wait for a full annual cycle.
The impact of this initiative is clear in the combined performance metrics. With both the main March examination and the second July examination accounted for, a total of 91,060 students participated in the 2026 academic year. Out of these, 81,110 students successfully passed, bringing the overall combined pass percentage to an impressive 89.54%.
July Examination Breakdown
For the specific July cycle, 8,181 students appeared for various categories, including essential improvement, compartment, and optional subject exams. The results for this session are summarized below:
| Category | Number of Students |
|---|---|
| Appeared | 8,181 |
| Passed | 4,930 |
| Compartment | 1,774 |

Accessing Results and Certificates
Students who appeared for the July examinations can now check their results via the official HPBOSE website.
To streamline the administrative process for higher education admissions, the board has made copies of certificates digitally available through DigiLocker. This initiative ensures that students can access and share their verified academic documents immediately, eliminating the wait time associated with physical certificate distribution.
Revaluation and Rechecking Process
The board has also opened the window for students who may have concerns regarding their evaluated answer scripts. Applications for revaluation or rechecking are being accepted until September 9, 2026.
- Revaluation Fee: Rs 1,000 per subject.
- Rechecking Fee: Rs 800 per subject.
The board has emphasized that all applications must be submitted online through the candidates’ respective schools. Officials have warned that any applications sent via offline modes or submitted without the mandatory fee will be summarily rejected. Students are advised to coordinate with their school administration promptly to meet the September deadline.
