• Both Theory and Practical/Internal components must independently meet the 35% threshold, where applicable.
• Supplementary/compartment exams are available for students who fail in one or more subjects.
• While the overall passing percentage is 35%, the actual marks required vary based on total marks per subject (e.g., 35 out of 100, 28 out of 80 for theory, 7 out of 20 for internal, etc.).For a 100-mark subject, 35 marks represent 35%.
• For an 80-mark theory component, 28 marks represent 35%.
• For a 20-mark internal component, 7 marks represent 35%.
• English and second language subjects also follow the 35% rule.
• For subjects with 20 marks of internal assessment, no separate minimum is prescribed beyond the 35% of that component; it is included in the subject total.
