You can still move on and get a government job with a better career in your life even if you failed in class 12th board exams. “One of my friends failed in class 12th, but he is now working as an engineer in an automobile AC manufacturing plant in Haryana.”
So this is crystal clear that even if you are not able to pass the class 12th board exams then also you can make a career in the field of engineering and technical fields and can also become eligible for government jobs and further studies in the universities.
Note: In class 12th board exams, if you are failed in more than 2 subjects then you will be permanently failed and you have to repeat from class 11th again. Otherwise, you can read this article to know about various other possibilities to save your career.
In this article, I have shared some real-life incidents and proof and some possible ways by which you can get out of this trouble.
So, before heading toward the solution I will explain some basic things. When a student who passed out from class 10th wants to seek admission to class 11th then he has only 3 options, like- Science and non-science (commerce and arts).
But besides science, commerce, and arts there are many other ways to pursue higher education for UG and PG degrees. Just have a look at the below chart to understand the career selection after classes 10th and 12th.
So if you failed in class 12th, then you have three options, which are as follows:
- Repeat again from class 11th
- Do diploma (Anyone can pursue with class 10th mark sheet)
- ITI (Anyone can pursue with class 10th mark sheet)
So, if you got a compartment in class 12th then you can do a Diploma in Mechanical engineering, civil engineering, electrical, and electronics. Rather than a diploma, you can also do an ITI course.
The ITI courses are more famous now a days as the ITI courses are more job oriented. If a student has been failed in the class 12 board exams then the ITI course should be the better option to move on.
Note: If you want to pursue a diploma or ITI after class 10th, then you will get a job with practical skills and work.
Repeat in from class 11th
Just for your information, I would like to inform you that if you got failed in class 12th, then you can not repeat class 12th again in the same year.
If you want to repeat your class 12th, then you have to take admitted again in class 11th with a new registration from your educational board.

No, since we are blessed with the “Right to education law” in our country. No matter how much old you are, no matter how much your age is, you can still take admitted to any school you want and can give board exams at any age.
Normally the students of class 12th are below 18, and I have one of my friends who got compartment in 3 subjects and got failed in class 12th. He again repeated from class 11 and passed the class 12th board exam at the age of 20 years (2 years late).

Let me tell you that one of my neighbors whose financial condition is not good and purchased an electric rickshaw to earn some money, but he was very curious that what others will think about him and asked me about his problems, then I said only one thing that if you won’t work then who will feed you, those who will make fun of you are not going to share your problems.
