By Tamil Nadu’s Directorate of Government Examinations declared the Class 12 supplementary exam result and HSC +1 arrears result on Thursday, July 31, 2026, for students who had subjects pending from the main board examinations.
The DGE said 60,527 students had appeared for the supplementary exam, conducted between June 28 and July 7, 2026.
Provisional marksheets are available at tnresults.nic.in and dge.tn.gov.in, where students can log in using their registration number and date of birth in DD/MM/YYYY format.
Passing the exam requires a minimum of 35 marks out of 100 in theory-only subjects, while subjects with practicals need at least 15 marks in theory along with an overall total of 35 marks.
Candidates who want to contest their marks can apply for revaluation on August 4 and 5 at their District Assistant Director’s office, between 11 am and 5 pm, for a fee of Rs 275 per subject.
The main Class 12 result, declared on May 8, 2026, had recorded an overall pass percentage of 95.20%, and this supplementary round gives another opportunity to students who did not clear it then.
Students who remain dissatisfied with their supplementary marks can also apply for a photocopy of their answer sheet in addition to revaluation, a facility offered by the DGE for a separate fee.
The regular Class 12 result for 2026, declared on May 8, recorded an overall pass percentage of 95.20%, one of the state’s stronger showings in recent years.
Tamil Nadu’s supplementary exams are typically held for students who failed to clear one or more subjects in the main board examination, giving them a chance to qualify without losing an academic year.
The Directorate of Government Examinations conducts supplementary exams separately for Class 10 and Class 12, along with arrears papers for Higher Secondary First Year students who did not clear all subjects.
