- What is the grading system and how are the students assessed?
The grading system ranges from A to F with A being the highest and F meaning fail. The grades and their percentage ranges may differ from state to state but more often scoring below 25% in a subject, results in failing the subject. This grading system is also applied till senior secondary level i.e grade 12.
