JAC Board 12th Grading System
The JAC board's 12th-grade grading system incorporates 4 divisions. Students scoring above 75% marks in aggregate fall under the distinction division. There are a total of 5 grades in the grading system that are awarded to the students based on their performance in the JAC board 12th board exams. The grade range lies between A+ and D. The total marks for the curriculum are 500. For distinction division, a student needs to score 375 marks out of 500 marks. The same will be reflected in the marksheet.
The grading system is a 5 scale mechanism. Students who score 375 marks and above are awarded the distinction division, that is, on scoring 75% marks in aggregate, and they receive an A+ grade. Students scoring less than 33% in aggregate, i.e less than 165 marks, will be given a D grade and they will be considered as failing.
