Second Division: 45% and above but below 60% of the aggregate marks.
First Division: 60% and above of the aggregate marks.

Distinction: 80% and above in a paper of Part-A (Theory) or Part-B (Practical) Distinction and
division obtained by the candidate shall be Mentioned in the Diploma awarded to the candidate.

10. Those candidates who fail in only one theory paper or Part-B (Practical) shall be eligible to

 annual examination plus the marks obtained in the paper in which he/she took the
supplementary examination. The supplementary candidate shall be ineligible for division and
place on the merit list.

12. The candidate who is declared failed in the annual examination shall appear as an ex-student in
