Sindh Introduces New Grading System for Matric and Intermediate Students

The Sindh government has announced a major overhaul of the grading system for matriculation and intermediate students, shifting from the traditional marks-based approach to a comprehensive grades-based system. The new policy, developed by the Inter-Board Coordination Committee (IBCC), will be implemented in 2025 and aims to provide a more nuanced assessment of student performance.

Under this system, students will be evaluated using grades instead of numerical marks, with the highest category being ‘Exceptional’ for scores of 95% and above, and ‘Unsatisfactory’ for those scoring 40% or below. The grading structure eliminates the concept of first, second, and third positions, redirecting attention toward a broader evaluation of abilities.

The detailed grading scale is as follows:

  • 95% and above: A++ (Exceptional)
  • 90-94%: A+ (Outstanding)
  • 85-89%: A (Excellent)
  • 80-84%: B++ (Very Good)
  • 75-79%: B+ (Good)
  • 70-74%: B (Fairly Good)
  • 60-69%: C (Above Average)
  • 50-59%: D (Average)
  • 40-49%: E (Below Average)
  • Below 40%: U (Unsatisfactory)

The transition will also see a change in terminology, as the traditional “F” for “Fail” will be replaced with “U” for “Unsatisfactory.”

This reform comes after a national decision in 2022 by educational board chairmen to adopt a 10-point grading system across the country. The new system also raises the minimum passing marks from 33 to 40.

Sindh is the first province to implement these changes.
