HPBOSE Class 12 Result 2025: Himachal Board revises results after evaluation error, pass percentage rises to 88.64%
HPBOSE Class 12 Result 2025: The Himachal Pradesh Board of School Education issued a revised result of its Class 12 exam on Wednesday after correcting an error in the evaluation process of the English paper. The revised results showed that 88.64 per cent of the students who appeared in the exam held in March have passed, a marked improvement from the previous figure of 83.16 per cent. Moreover, 76,315 of the total 86,373 students have now been declared passed, 3,838 placed under the compartment category and 5,868 have failed. The initial results, announced on May 17, had shown 71,591 students as passed, 5,847 under compartment, and 8,581 as failed. The board reevaluated the Class-12 English paper using the correct answer keys following a 'human error' in the compilation of marks for the paper, which was cancelled once, officials said. The paper held on March 8 was rescheduled for March 29 after teachers at the Government Senior Secondary School in Chowari in Chamba district mistakenly opened the question paper of Class 12 in place of Class 10, a day before the exam on March 7. After announcing the Class-12 board exam results on May 17, the board received complaints from many students who secured lower marks in English. The matter was brought to the notice of the authorities by the Himachal Pradesh Government Teachers Union (HPGTU) and private school associations, prompting Education Minister Rohit Thakur to ask the board to probe the matter and take appropriate action. The board initiated an inquiry, which found that wrong answer keys of the cancelled paper had been uploaded due to a 'human error' that led to the discrepancies, the state board's Secretary Vishal Sharma said. Accepting the mistake, the board had said the answer sheets would be reevaluated and the marks would only be increased not cut in the amended results.

HPBOSE 12th Result 2025: Himachal Board To Re-evaluate English Paper Marks After 'Human Error'
Last Updated: HPBOSE will re-evaluate Class 12 English exam papers due to incorrect answer keys. Revised results will be announced soon. The Himachal Pradesh Board of School Education (HPBOSE) will re-evaluate Class 12 English exam papers using the correct answer keys, following a 'human error" that affected the marks compilation, officials announced on Wednesday. The original English exam, held on March 8, was rescheduled to March 29 after a mix-up at Government Senior Secondary School in Chowari, Chamba district, where staff accidentally opened the Class 12 question paper a day early—mistaking it for the Class 10 paper on March 7. After the Class 12 results were declared on Saturday, HPBOSE received numerous complaints from students who had scored unexpectedly low marks in English. The issue was brought to the board's attention by the Himachal Pradesh Government Teachers Union (HPGTU) and private school associations. In response, Education Minister Rohit Thakur directed the board to investigate the matter and take corrective measures. An internal inquiry revealed that incorrect answer keys from the cancelled exam were mistakenly used, leading to widespread discrepancies in marks, according to HPBOSE Secretary Vishal Sharma. Admitting the error, the board confirmed that the affected answer sheets would be re-evaluated. Only upward revisions will be made—no student's marks will be reduced. The revised results will be announced soon. Himachal Pradesh Board of School Education, HPBOSE Class 12 Results 2025 were declared on May 29 by the Board Chairman via a press conference. Around 84,930 students took the HP board 12th exams this year out of which 83.16 per cent passed.
