- Plus One (Class 11) marks will be carried forward
- Continuous Evaluation (CE) and practical marks of Class 12 will be added
- Final scores will be compiled based on combined performance
This method aligns with existing academic frameworks and maintains consistency in grading.

Additionally, authorities have announced measures to strengthen the continuous assessment system and improve transparency in schools. A special academic support programme will also be conducted from April 20 to April 27, 2026, for students in Classes 5 to 9 who scored below minimum marks, followed by school-level assessments.
