Tamil Nadu 12th supplementary result 2026 out, 60,527 students appeared

Tamil Nadu’s Directorate of Government Examinations released the Class 12 supplementary exam result along with HSC +1 arrears results on Thursday, July 31, 2026, for students who had one or more subjects pending from the main board exams.

The supplementary examination was held from June 28 to July 7, 2026, and was attempted by 60,527 students across the state.

Students can download their provisional marksheets from tnresults.nic.in or dge.tn.gov.in by entering their registration number and date of birth in DD/MM/YYYY format.

The passing requirement is a minimum of 35 marks out of 100 in theory-only subjects, while subjects with a practical component need at least 15 marks in theory combined with an overall total of 35 marks.

Students unhappy with their marks can apply for revaluation on August 4 and 5 at their District Assistant Director’s office between 11 am and 5 pm, paying Rs 275 per subject.

The main Class 12 result, declared on May 8, 2026, had shown a 95.20% overall pass rate, and this supplementary round is meant for students who did not clear all subjects at that time.

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.

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.
