Telangana government replaces grading with marks for SSC exams starting 2024-25, 100% marks for external assessment in 2025-26.
Telangana government has decided to do away with the existing method of grading and replacing it with awarding marks for Secondary School Certificate examinations. “The awarding of 100% marks to external assessment will be implemented from 2025-26 and awarding 80% marks to external assessment and 20% to internal assessment will continue for academic year 2024-25 only. Awarding marks system in SSC public examination dispensing the existing grading system will be from the academic year 2024-25,” a late night order and clarification on Friday (November 29, 2024) confirmed.
The decision was as per a government order issued by Principal Secretary (Education) Burra Venkatesham.
