Board Exam 2025: Major changes in board exam 2025, grading system abolished in class 10th, now marks will be given instead of grades..

Telangana SSC Exam 2025: CBSE Board, CISCE Board and many other state board examinations are going to start in February 2025. Meanwhile, in a major decision, the Telangana government has abolished the grading system for SSC public examinations. Now Telangana Board Class 10 students will be given marks instead of grades. Burra Venkatesham, Principal Secretary (Education Department) of Telangana Education Board, has recently issued a memorandum allowing the new pattern for SSC public examinations.
Currently, the final annual examinations in Telangana Board are conducted for 80 marks, and internal assessment examinations are conducted for 20 marks. But after this decision, now students will be given 100 percent marks in their final annual examination without taking into account their internal assessment. This method of new evaluation of the Class 10th public exam of Telangana Education Board will be applicable from the academic year 2025-26. As of now, students are allotted grades A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2, D1, D2, and E based on the marks obtained, with A1 and E being the highest and lowest grades. According to reports, this change in the marks system aims to start online admissions in junior colleges in the state.
Telangana Board notice, "The system of awarding 100% marks for external assessment will be implemented from 2025-26 and the system of awarding 80% marks for external assessment and 20% marks for internal assessment will continue only till the academic year 2024-25. The system of awarding marks in the SSC public examination will be implemented from the academic year 2024-25, abolishing the existing grading system." Director of School Education EV Narasimha Reddy has been directed to take further necessary action in the matter.
