GSEB HSC 2026 Pass Percentage: Overall and Stream-Wise Analysis

[THIS TABLE WIll be Updated with 2026 OFFICIAL FIGURES FROM PRESS CONFERENCE]

Year	Science Stream Pass %	General Stream Pass %
2026	[-]	[-]
2025	83.51%	93.07%
2024	82.45%	91.93%
2023	72.27%	[data pending]

Key trends from the historical data:

The General stream has consistently outperformed the Science stream in pass percentage across all years. This is expected given that Science stream board papers carry a higher difficulty level and students are simultaneously preparing for competitive entrance exams including GUJCET, JEE Main and NEET.

The Science stream pass percentage improved significantly from 72.27 percent in 2023 to 83.51 percent in 2025, a 11-point gain over two years. This improvement coincides with post-pandemic normalisation of exam patterns and students returning to full classroom schedules.

In 2025, girls outperformed boys in the General stream while boys performed marginally better in the Science stream. Gender-wise breakdowns for 2026 will be published alongside the official result.

District-wise performance: Historically, Rajkot, Surat and Ahmedabad districts have produced the highest overall pass percentages. Morbi district produced the highest-performing Science stream district in 2023 with 72.27 percent overall. District-wise 2026 data will be updated here as soon as the board releases it.

GSEB HSC Toppers List 2026: Names, Scores and Merit List

For context on what topper scores typically look like: In 2020 the GSEB HSC Science topper Neha Yadav scored 98.86 percent. Topper scores in recent years have consistently fallen in the 98 to 99.5 percent range for Science and slightly higher for General stream.

How is the GSEB merit list compiled?

Topper answer sheets are first shortlisted at the taluka level, then the district level, and finally at the state level. All shortlisted answer sheets are re-checked before ranks are confirmed. In the event of a tie in total marks, the board uses subject-wise performance as a tiebreaker, beginning with the language paper. Grace marks, if awarded, are included in the total and can affect merit rank. The board awards prize money to both district-level and state-level toppers. Students can verify their merit position by checking their percentile rank on the provisional scorecard once results are declared.

Passing Marks, Grade System and What to Do If You Did Not Pass

Minimum Passing Criteria

To pass the GSEB HSC 2026 examination, students must meet both of the following conditions:

1. Score a minimum of 33 percent in each individual subject, including theory and practical components separately where applicable.
2. Maintain a 33 percent aggregate across all subjects combined.

Failing to meet either condition in any subject means the student has not cleared that paper, regardless of their aggregate performance.

GSEB HSC 2026 Grade Scale

Grade	Marks Range
A1	91 to 100
A2	81 to 90
B1	71 to 80
B2	61 to 70
C1	51 to 60
C2	41 to 50
D	33 to 40
E1	21 to 32
E2	Below 21

Grade D (33 to 40 percent) is the minimum passing grade. Students who receive Grade E1 or E2 in any subject have not passed that paper.

Grace Mark Policy

The GSEB has discretion to award grace marks to students in specific circumstances, including cases where a student falls within a narrow margin of the pass threshold in one or two subjects. Grace marks are reflected directly on the provisional marksheet when awarded. They do not appear as a separate line item but are included in the subject total. Students who pass due to grace marks are recorded as passed and are eligible for all admissions.

Supplementary Exam: GSEB HSC Purak Pariksha 2026

Students who receive Grade E1 (scored between 21 and 32 percent) in one or two subjects are eligible to appear for the GSEB HSC Supplementary Examination 2026, also called Purak Pariksha.

Students who receive Grade E2 (below 21 percent) in any subject, or who failed in three or more subjects regardless of grade, are not eligible for the supplementary exam and must repeat the full academic year.

Supplementary exam schedule: The GSEB is expected to release the Purak Pariksha schedule in the second week of July 2026. Results will be announced in August 2026. Application forms will be available at gseb.org once the schedule is confirmed.

Re-Checking and Re-Verification Process

If you are unsatisfied with your marks and believe there is a discrepancy in your result, you can apply for re-checking.

How to apply: Visit gseb.org after the result is declared. Look for the re-checking or re-verification application link. Submit your application with your seat number and the subject or subjects you want re-checked. Pay the re-checking fee of Rs 100 per subject online. The re-checking window typically opens within 7 to 10 days of result declaration. If any change in marks is found, a revised marksheet is issued.

Private Students vs Regular Students

Regular students (studying at a recognised school affiliated with GSEB) and private students (appearing without school affiliation) are both declared under the same result. However, private students must collect their original marksheet directly from the GSEB district office rather than from a school. Private students are eligible for all post-result processes including supplementary exams and re-checking under the same rules as regular students.

After the Result: Downloading Your Marksheet and Next Steps

Downloading Your Provisional Marksheet

The online scorecard available at gseb.org and DigiLocker is provisional. It is accepted for preliminary college form fill-ups and entrance exam counselling processes. Final admission at most colleges requires the original hard copy marksheet, which is distributed by schools after the board formally issues them, typically within two to three weeks of the result declaration.

Keep the following documents ready for all post-result processes: your 6-digit seat number, your admit card, your Aadhaar card, and the downloaded provisional marksheet.

ACPC Gujarat: Engineering and Pharmacy Admissions for Science Students

For HSC Science students targeting engineering or pharmacy colleges in Gujarat, the Admission Committee for Professional Courses (ACPC) manages centralised admissions.

ACPC merit formula: Your admission rank is calculated as 60 percent of your GSEB HSC board marks plus 40 percent of your GUJCET score. Board marks and GUJCET score carry different weights, which means a strong GUJCET performance can compensate for a lower board percentage and vice versa.

GUJCET 2026 results declared on May 4, 2026, at gsebeservice.com. Students who have both results can now calculate their expected ACPC merit rank.

ACPC key dates for 2026: Registration for BE and BTech admissions opened on March 31, 2026 and closes on May 31, 2026 at acpc.gujarat.gov.in. The merit list is expected from June 12, 2026. Counselling proceeds in multiple rounds including mock rounds, Round 1, Round 2, Round 3 and a final online round. Registration fee is Rs 350, non-refundable, payable online only.

Eligibility: Students must have passed HSC Science with a minimum of 45 percent marks (40 percent for reserved category candidates) in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as per AICTE norms. For government and grant-in-aid college seats, students must have studied in Gujarat and appeared for GUJCET 2026. Top government engineering colleges in Gujarat generally require a combined GUJCET percentile above 95.

NEET and JEE Main for Medical and Engineering Admissions

For NEET-based medical admissions, your GSEB HSC board marks determine eligibility (minimum 50 percent in Physics, Chemistry and Biology) while your NEET score determines the actual admission rank. For JEE Main-based NIT and central institute admissions, board marks contribute to the normalisation process. Both counselling processes begin shortly after board results.

Degree College Admissions for General Stream Students

For Commerce and Arts students in the General stream, most Gujarat university admissions are based directly on HSC percentile rank. Top institutions including Maharaja Sayajirao University (MSU) Baroda and Ahmedabad University typically look for 85 percent or above in aggregate. The Common University Entrance Test (CUET) score is required for central university admissions. Students can begin filling college forms using their provisional marksheet immediately.

Troubleshooting: What to Do When gseb.org Is Not Opening

gseb.org experiences extreme traffic in the first two to three hours after result declaration. Most students who refresh the page repeatedly only add to the server load. Here is the recommended sequence:

• Step 1: Try the WhatsApp method first. Send your 6-digit seat number to 6357300971 on WhatsApp. This is the fastest and most reliable method on result day.
• Step 2: If you need your result immediately but WhatsApp is also slow, use the SMS method. Send GJ12S [SeatNumber] to 58888111 for Science or GJ12G [SeatNumber] to 58888111 for General. This works on any phone without internet.
• Step 3: Try the alternate official portals: gsebeservice.com or result.gseb.org. These portals carry the same data as the main site but sometimes face less traffic.
• Step 4: Try non-official aggregator portals: results.shiksha, indiaresults.com and manabadi.co.in typically host mirror links to GSEB results. These portals pull data from the official source and can provide faster access when gseb.org is overloaded.
• Step 5: Wait one to two hours. Traffic typically drops significantly by early afternoon on result day. The result does not disappear. Your marks will be there whenever you access the site.

Common Errors and How to Fix Them

1. Invalid seat number: Double-check your 6-digit seat number against your hall ticket. Do not add spaces or extra digits. The format includes a letter prefix followed by numbers (example: B12345 or G67890).
2. Name mismatch: If the name on your scorecard does not match your hall ticket, report it to your school the same day. Correction windows close quickly after declaration.
3. Result not found: Ensure you are entering the seat number for the correct stream. Science and General stream seat numbers use different prefix letters and are checked through separate links on the portal.
4. Website loading error: Do not interpret a slow loading screen as the result not being declared. It is almost always a server traffic issue, not a technical problem with your specific result.
