The formula
Worked example
Internal 32 out of 40 is 80%. External 58 out of 100 is 58%. Together it is 90 out of 140, which is 64.29%. With a 35% pass mark this is a pass with a B+ grade and 7 grade points.
Understanding your result
The "Why" line tells you what failed if you do not pass. Some universities pass you on the overall total alone, so check your own rules.
When to use it
- Check your result before the official announcement.
- See which part of your marks needs work.
- Understand your grade and grade points.
Assumptions and limits
Grade bands are common Indian ones. Your institution may use different cut-offs, grace marks or condonation rules.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I pass the exam?
You need at least the pass mark in internal, external and overall marks in schemes that require all three.
What if my university only checks the total?
Set the pass mark low enough to test, or check the overall percentage in the result.
How is the grade decided?
From the overall percentage using common bands: 90 and above is O, 80 A+, 70 A, 60 B+, 55 B, 50 C.
What are grade points?
A number linked to the grade, from 10 for O down to 4 for a bare pass.
Does it include grace marks?
No. Add grace marks to your obtained marks if they apply.
