New FBISE grading system starts 2026, reduces student stress with a fairer, international standard evaluation

IBCC – (Special Correspondent  / Web Desk) – After a recent Inter-Board Coordination Commission (IBCC) meeting, the Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (FBISE) established a new grading scheme for matriculation and intermediate students.
For grades 9 and 11, the new system will be introduced with the 2026 tests; for grades 10 and 12, it will be introduced with the 2027 first annual exams.

Under the new policy, students will be graded based on performance percentages instead of traditional marks. The revised grading scale is as follows:

  • A++ (Exceptional): 96% to 100%
  • A+ (Outstanding): 91% to 95%
  • A (Excellent): 86% to 90%
  • B++ (Very Good): 81% to 85%
  • B+ (Good): 76% to 80%
  • B (Above Average): 71% to 75%
  • C+ (Satisfactory): 61% to 70%
  • C (Adequate): 51% to 60%
  • D (Marginal): 40% to 50%
  • Ungraded: Below 40%

Students who fall under the ungraded category will be allowed to retake exams in those specific subjects.

According to board officials, the purpose of the new grading framework is to improve assessment transparency, ensure fair evaluation, and bring Pakistan’s examination system in line with international standards.

The policy also aims to reduce exam stress by shifting focus from rote learning and marks-based competition to a broader evaluation of student performance.
