The results are given in grades but not leaving the marks in number, too. The grading starts at A+ and end at E. A+ = 90% of the total marks and above, then A= 80% and above but <90%, and so on, and finally E=< 20%. Nobody is declared failed. Previously, 30% of the total marks were the minimum marks required for passing the SLC examinations, 60% was the first class mark, and 80% was the distinction mark.
Anybody securing D and E in two theoretical subjects might sit for the supplementary examinations, Examination Controller Krishna Prasad Kapri said at the press conference.
Students securing only D and E will not get an admission to X grade, and will not have the opportunity to go for the higher education but the gate to the higher education is not totally closed. They can get an admission to the 18-month vocational education and then further higher education.
Following the new Education, SLC will be no more; the basic education is one to eighth grade; and from the ninth to 12th is the secondary education.
