All board students promoted-Shafqat Mehmood told promotion criteria and formula of board students 14th May 2020- private, supply, University students Pakistan-fusion stories



Federal education minister Shafqat cleared the air and Mehmood announced about the fortune of board students. During a press conference on 14th May 2020, the Federal education minister notified the way to promote the board students.

As earlier Shafqat Mehmood made it clear through a tweet that due to COV 19 panedemic and school closures, all board exams are canceled from Sindh, Punjab, KPK, Baluchistan and there should not be any confusion about it. The real problem was to prepare the proper and justified way to promote the students. After a meeting with all board members and education minister of all provinces, Shafqat Mehmood announced that there are categories of students to mark them which as follow:

All students of class 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th are promoted to the next classes.

Result of 10th and 12th

As there is a popular tendency that earned a number of class 10th are better than class 9th and marks of 12th are better than 11th class that why students of class 10th and 12th(2nd year) will get 3% more marks from their 9th and 11th grades.

Predicted statistical formula to calculate of marks of 10th  12th students

For example, a student gets 405 marks out of 550 in class 9th or first-year then 
he/she can calculate his/her marks for 
10th or 12th as

3/100*405=12.5 + 405= 417.5
10th, 12th class marks formula

  Transcript or mark sheet of 10th and 12th will not be delivered subject wise marks but there will only be only total marks on the transcript of 12th and 10th grade.
Boards will notify on transcripts that this is the best possible prediction of students' results without giving an exam due to COVID 19 exam cancelation.

Good news for Private students from class 10th and 12th will get marks based on their 9th and 11th result plus 3% more marks added in it respectively like regular students.


Result of 9th 1st-year board students

     

  •  Students of class 9th and 11th will be promoted to 10th and  12th grades without exams but hold on their 9th class result will be calculated next year based on their 10th or 12th class result. Shafqat Mehmood made it clear that there will be not composite exam next year for promoted 9th and first-year students. 
Supply students
As far as Mehmood press   conference suggested that
  • If any students could get only 40% marks in the 9th or first-year result or were failed he/she will be given 40% passing marks in the 2nd and 10th without giving any grade.
It means students with supply in the 9th and the first year will be promoted giving 40% marks.

The students who want to give a special exam for example
1. The students who were not satisfied with their 9th or 11th result and want to appear in improvement exam
2. The students who got less than 40% marks in their exam.
3. The students who want to appear in 2 or 3 subjects separately
notify their boards until 1st July 2020.
There are about 29 educational boards that have decided special exams for the above category.
  • There will be a special exam from September till November for the students who want to appear for the improvement exam. The students who were giving composite exams will also conduct in the special exam from  2020.
