SSC Grading System

The grading system for SSC public examination is being introduced from this year and Students'
performance will be decided through a nine point relative grading system.

Subject grades and aggregate grades will be assigned to the candidates depending on their relative
performance in the subjects.

The Grade A1 will be given to top 12.5 per cent of passed candidates.

For example if one lakh students pass in the exam, the top 12,500 will get A1 grade. So the grade for a
particular candidate will depend on not just his performance but also how others perform.

SSC Grades
A1 Top 12.5% of the passed candidates
A2 Less than top 12.5% but above 25%
B1 Less than top 25% but above 37.5%
B2 Less than 37.5% but above 50%
C1 Less than 50% but above 62.5%
C2 Less than 62.5% but above 75%
D1 Less than 75% but above 87.5%
D2 Bottom 12.5% of the passed candidates i.e., between 87.5% and
100% of the passed candidates
E Candidates who secure less than 35% marks in any subject will be
treated as failed and awarded E-grade for that subject. They will also
be awarded E-grade for final result.
