Best of 5 Subjects
As part of the internal assessment process, schools have to consider the best of 5 subjects formula. Simply put, if a student fails in 1 subject (scores below 33% marks) in 1 subject, overall he is to be considered as passed and is to be promoted to the next grade.
Grace Marks Policy
In case a student is failing in more than 1 subject, schools have been empowered to award grace marks of up to 10 marks in 1 or more subjects.

In case a student still fails after the grace marks in 2 or more subjects, he or she would be given another opportunity to appear for the exam in the said subject. In case, a student has not appeared for either November Revision Test or Half-Yearly Exams held in February, they are to be given chance to re-appear for the exam.
