The Directorate of Government Examinations (DGE) in Tamil Nadu has released the provisional results for the Higher Secondary First Year and Second Year Supplementary Examinations held in June and July 2026. Students who appeared for these supplementary or plus one arrear exams can now download their provisional marks statements from the official DGE website using their exam credentials.
Understanding Tamil Nadu’s Supplementary Exams
Supplementary exams provide students who did not pass the main board examinations another chance to clear their subjects. In Tamil Nadu, these exams are conducted shortly after the regular exams, typically within a few months. For 2026, the supplementary exams took place between June 26 and July 16. This system helps students avoid losing an entire academic year and keeps their education on track.
The supplementary exams cover both the Higher Secondary First Year (Class 11) and Second Year (Class 12) students who failed one or more subjects in the main exams conducted earlier in the year. Passing these exams is crucial for students to progress academically or qualify for higher education opportunities.

Options for Revaluation and Retotalling
For students who are unhappy with their results, the Tamil Nadu board has announced a revaluation and retotalling process. Applications for these services will be accepted on August 4 and 5, from 11 am to 5 pm. The fee for each subject is set at Rs 275.
It is important to note that candidates can apply for either revaluation or retotalling for a particular subject, but not both.
