Passing Criteria, Grading, and Next Steps

To successfully clear the 9th-grade annual examination under BISE Lahore, candidates must satisfy the mandatory 40 percent passing threshold in each individual subject. The board implements the revised grading framework established by the Inter Board Coordination Commission (IBCC), translating numerical scores into standardized grades ranging from A++ down to D, with any score falling below 40% marked as ungraded (U).

Students who did not meet expectations or failed a subject should not lose momentum. BISE Lahore organizes Second Annual (Supplementary) Examinations, offering candidates a timely opportunity to clear unpassed papers without losing an academic year. Reviewing subject-wise scorecards helps identify weak foundational areas to target during preparation for the upcoming 10th-grade curriculum.
