95 and above

A2

90 to 94

A3

85 to 89

80 to 84

B2

70 to 79

C1

60 to 69

C2

50 to 59

C3

33 to 49

D

Less than 33



Points to Remeber :

(i) Assessment of theory/practical papers in external subjects shall be in numerical scores.In addition to numerical scores, the Board shall indicate grades in the marks sheets issued to the candidates in case of subjects of external examinations. In case of internal assessment subjects, only grades shall be shown.

(ii) Subjects of internal examination in Class X the assessment shall be made on a five point scale I.e. A,B,C,D & E.

(iii) The grades shall be derived from scores in case of subjects of external examination. In case of subjects of internal assessment, they shall be awarded by the schools.

(iv) The qualifying marks in each subject of external examination shall be 33% . However at Senior School Certificate Examination,in a subject involving practical work, a candidate must obtain 33% marks in the theory and 33% marks in the practical separately in addition to 33% marks in aggregate, in order to qualify in that subject.

(v) For awarding the grades, the Board shall put all the passed students in a rank order and will award grades as follows :

A1 : Top 1/8th of the passed candidates
A2 : Next 1/8th of the passed candidates
B1 : Next 1/8th of the passed candidates
B2 : Next 1/8th of the passed candidates
C1 : Next 1/8th of the passed candidates
C2 : Next 1/8th of the passed candidates
D1 : Next 1/8th of the passed candidates
D2 : Next 1/8th of the passed candidates
E : Failed candidates
Important :

(a) In case of a tie, all the students getting the same score, will get the same grade. If the number of students at a score point need to be divided into two segments, the smaller segment will go with the larger.

(b) Method of grading will be used in subjects where the number of candidates who have passed is more than 500.

(c) In respect of subjects where total number of candidates passing in a subject is less than 500, the grading would be adopted on the pattern of grading and distribution in other similar subjects.
