To calculate eligibility we take the mid point of each grade and this should total up to an aggregate of at least 50% in all the subjects taken at ‘A' levels and also when adding the grade for English at 'O' level. In case the marks do not tally up to 50% when using the mid points of each grade range, we advise students to apply to their boards and ask for actual marks. The Boards then send the marks to us, in confidence. The student may prove to be eligible if he/she has obtained a higher score than mid point of the grade & the total adds up to be 50% or more.
