| Symbol / Grade | Marks Range | Meaning | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| A1 | 91–100% | Outstanding performance | PASS |
| A2 | 81–90% | Excellent performance | PASS |
| B1 | 71–80% | Very Good | PASS |
| B2 | 61–70% | Good | PASS |
| C1 | 51–60% | Average — Above Pass | PASS |
| C2 | 41–50% | Satisfactory | PASS |
| D | 33–40% | Needs Improvement — Bare Pass | PASS |
| E1 | 21–32% | Eligible for Supplementary Exam | SUPPLEMENTARY |
| E2 | Below 21% | Not eligible for supplementary; must repeat year | FAIL |
| AB | — | Absent in the exam | ABSENT |
| UFM | — | Unfair Means — cheating detected | CANCELLED |
| PR | — | Percentile Rank (how many students you scored above) | INFO |
