- The new scale applies to SSC-I and HSSC-I from 2026 and to SSC-II and HSSC-II from 2027 under the FBISE notification. As of September 2026, IBCC reports it in use at FBISE, the Sindh boards, AJK, Karakoram (GB), AKU-EB and Ziauddin boards. Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa boards had not adopted it.
- The notification gives whole-number bands (for example 91–95% and 96–100%) and doesn't say how a percentage such as 95.5% is treated. We place it in the lower band. Your board's result card is final.
- Boards grade each paper separately. A grade worked out from your total marks is a guide, not what appears for each subject.
How the grade is found
Percentage = marks obtained ÷ total marks × 100, then the band it falls in
Worked example
935 out of 1,100 is 85%. That's B++ on the new scale, 11 marks short of A (86%), and A1 on the old scale.
Boards grade each paper separately, so a grade from your total marks is a guide, not what appears for each subject.
Bands were last checked on 12 November 2026 against the published FBISE notification. Check your own board's notification for the exact rules.
Questions people ask
What is the new grading system for matric and inter?
From the 2026 examinations, grades run A++ (96% to 100%, extraordinary), A+ (91% to 95%, exceptional), A (86% to 90%, outstanding), B++ (81% to 85%, excellent), B+ (76% to 80%, very good), B (71% to 75%, good), C+ (61% to 70%, fairly good), C (51% to 60%, above average) and D (40% to 50%, emerging). Below 40% is U (ungraded), and the student reappears in that paper.
What is the new passing percentage?
40%, up from 33% under the old system.
When does the new grading start?
Under the FBISE notification of October 2025, for SSC-I and HSSC-I in 2026 and for SSC-II and HSSC-II in 2027. As of September 2026, IBCC reports it in use at FBISE, the Sindh boards, AJK, Karakoram (GB), AKU-EB and Ziauddin boards. Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa boards had not adopted it, so they still use the old A1 to F scale.
How is a percentage like 95.5% graded?
The notification gives whole-number bands (for example 91–95% and 96–100%) and doesn't say how a percentage between them is treated. The calculator places it in the lower band. Your board's result card is final.
What was the old grading scale?
A1 for 80% and above, A for 70% to 79%, B for 60% to 69%, C for 50% to 59%, D for 40% to 49%, E for 33% to 39% and F below 33%.
