KARACHI: The Inter Boards Coordination Commission (IBCC) introduces a new grading system for matric and intermediate students in Pakistan.
Under the new grading formula, the IBCC has approved an increase in the grace marks from three to five, raising passing marks to 40 against 33 in the past.
According to the IBCC, teachers can now provide five grace marks to push the candidate to 40 marks, in contrast to the previous three grace marks to pass the candidate.
The decision will be applied to matriculation and intermediate examination results across the country from the 2025 examinations.
The grace marks can be given in a maximum of two subjects, however, in case of failure of the candidate in any third subject, the teacher will not be permitted to provide marks.
As per the new policy, students scoring 95% or above will be awarded an A++ grade (5.0 GPA), while those scoring between 90% and 94% will receive an A+ grade (4.7 GPA). A grade (4.3 GPA) will be awarded to the percentage between 85% to 89%
If a student gets 80-84%, he/she will be awarded a B++ grade (4.0 GPA), 75-79% will receive a B+ (3.7 GPA), 70-74% will get a B (3.3 GPA), and 60-69% will get C (3.0 GPA).
The student getting a percentage below 40% will be considered a failure.
