Sindh Replaces Marks With Grades for Matric and Inter, Sets 40% Pass Mark

A phased rollout from 2026 aligns provincial boards with IBCC guidance, with GPA deferred until universities are ready.

Overview

  • An official notification ends the numerical marks system across Sindh boards and introduces per‑subject letter grades.
  • The scale runs from A++ to D, with U assigned to scores below 40 percent under the new passing threshold.
  • Class 9 and 11 adopt the system in 2026, with Class 10 and 12 shifting in 2027 under the province’s phased plan.
  • Results will be issued paper by paper in a format comparable to Cambridge-style reporting.
  • Students receiving a U can reappear in the relevant paper, and GPA/CGPA will be added later once universities update admissions processes.
