The percentage marks corresponding to grade is shown in the below table. The marks obtained by the student in these eight subjects are then used to calculate the equivalent matriculation percentage marks.

The equivalent marks are calculated using the following criteria used by the Inter Board Committee of Chairmen (IBCC):
