As we learned in 

CFSE in octahedral complex -

CFSE =\left [- \frac{2}{5}\left ( No. of\;electron\;in\;t_{2}g \right ) +\frac{3}{5}\left ( No. of\;\acute{e}s\;in\;eg \right ) \right ]\bigtriangleup \circ

-

 

 CFSE (Octahedral complex) = [\frac-{2}{5} (e^{-} in t_{2}g) +\frac{3}{5}(e^{-} in lg)]

for high spin octahedral complex, e^{-} config is

\therefore CFSE= [-\frac{2}{5}\times (3) +\frac{3}{5}(1)] Do

=(-1.2+0.6) Do=-0.6 Do
