The marks in practical exams will also be counted towards the total passing percentage, ensuring that both theory and practical scores meet the required criteria.
2. Compulsory vs Additional Subjects:
The compulsory subjects are the core subjects that every student must pass to be eligible for certification.
Additional subjects are optional and may include subjects like Computer Science or other electives, which do not contribute to the minimum passing marks.
3. Grading System:
The 9-point grading system will be used for evaluation, where students will be assigned grades based on their performance in the compulsory subjects.
Students failing by a maximum of 6 marks may be given statutory grace marks, helping them pass the examination.
