Understanding the Grading System
The Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education has implemented a comprehensive grading system for Class 8 students, offering a broader framework for academic evaluation. To pass, students must secure a minimum of 33 percent marks in each individual subject as well as an aggregate score of at least 33 percent across all subjects. A grade of ‘D’ or above is considered a passing mark. Students who fail to meet these criteria will be placed on the supplementary list, giving them an opportunity to improve their performance in subsequent attempts.
