Following the recommendations of the Fact Finding Committee, a grading system offering up to 15% grace marks has introduced for students in the Intermediate Part-I Commerce Regular Group papers of Principal of Accounting, Principal of Commerce, Principal of Economics, and Business Mathematics.
This decision taken in response to the decreasing trend in the proportion of successful candidates in some Commerce Group papers due to rigorous marking and the ratio of MCQs in the papers.
It’s noteworthy that a similar Fact Finding Committee previously formed by the Chief Minister of Sindh / Controlling Authority Sindh Education Boards to address student complaints regarding the results of the Science Pre-Medical, Pre-Engineering, and General Science groups. This committee recommended giving up to 15% grace marks to students in four subjects of the Science Group.
