📌 1. Grace Marks for Out-of-Syllabus Questions
Why are they given?
- If your exam paper includes questions that are not from the syllabus, JKBOSE awards grace marks for those questions.
How does it work?
- Students complain about out-of-syllabus questions.
- JKBOSE reviews the paper and confirms if the questions were truly out of syllabus.
- If confirmed, all students who attempted that exam get full marks for those questions.
Are there any limits?
- No limits! If an out-of-syllabus question is worth 4 marks, every student gets 4 grace marks, no matter what.
📌 2. General Grace Marks (Free Marks to Pass a Subject)
Why are they given?
- These marks are awarded to help students pass if they are a few marks short in one or more subjects.
What’s the maximum limit?
- Up to 5 grace marks in total, across all subjects.
How do they work?
- JKBOSE gives grace marks strategically to help you pass.
✅ How Grace Marks Are Given: Real-Life Scenarios
✔ Case 1: 1 Subject Needs 1 Extra Mark
Example:
- You need 25 marks to pass a subject, but you got 24.
- JKBOSE adds 1 grace mark, so you pass.
✔ Case 2: 2 Subjects Need 1 Extra Mark Each
Example:
- You passed three subjects, but in two subjects, you’re short by 1 mark each.
- JKBOSE adds 1 mark to each subject → Total 2 grace marks given.
✔ Case 3: 3 Subjects Need 1 Extra Mark Each
Example:
- You passed two subjects, but in three subjects, you need 1 mark each.
- JKBOSE adds 1 mark per subject → Total 3 grace marks given.
✔ Case 4: 4 Subjects Need 1 Extra Mark Each
Example:
- You passed one subject, but in four subjects, you need 1 mark each.
- JKBOSE adds 1 mark per subject → Total 4 grace marks given.
- Since 4 ≤ 5, you pass all subjects.
✔ Case 5: 5 Subjects Need 1 Extra Mark Each
Example:
- You’re short by 1 mark in all five subjects.
- JKBOSE adds 1 mark per subject → Total 5 grace marks given.
- Since 5 = 5, you pass all subjects.
❌ Case 6: You Need More Than 5 Marks
Example:
- You’re short by 1 mark in four subjects but need 2 marks in the fifth subject.
- Total required = 4 + 2 = 6 grace marks (which is more than 5).
- Since 6 > 5, you don’t qualify for grace marks and fail.
✔ Case 7: You Need All 5 Grace Marks in 1 Subject
Example:
- You passed four subjects, but in one subject, you scored 20 marks (passing mark is 25).
- JKBOSE adds 5 marks → You pass.
