The passing percentage applicable for both the internal assessment and the boards together will be 33%. At the same time, if a person is absent for an internal assessment exam mark will be considered as zero and total marks computed, accordingly. While this might seem as a boon for the students, for a student who wishes to score good marks for the boards and the competitive exams, the preparations will have to be very exhaustive.
