There is a grade system around the world, to take children out of the numbers race and give them a good education. An alternative grading system to the numbers system will be more beneficial for the students. The new grading system is a 10-point grading system (A++, A+, A, B++, B+, B, C, D, E, U) whereas the previous system was based on a 7-point grading system (A-1, A, B, C, D, E, F).
The new grading system was introduced by the IBCC. It is to control the marks inflation in the country and curb the race among students, parents and institutions for obtaining maximum marks. The qualifications are not affected by this change in the grading policy as the scheme of studies is the same. Moreover, as a university you would have to formulate admission policy around the GPA and CGPA that will be awarded based on grade point assigned to each grade.

The new grading system is designed to ensure that grades accurately reflect students’ learning and achievement. With the new grading system, if you score within the range of 70% to 74% or 75% to 79%, 80% to 85%, then you receive B, B+ or B++. To achieve A, A+ and A++, you need to focus on meeting the specific descriptors (i.e., remarkable, outstanding, and exceptional) for those grades, rather than comparing yourself to the old grading system. For example, if you score 72%, under the new grading policy, you will receive a B, which is described as Good.

It may mean that the way your grade is calculated, or the criteria used to assign grades may change, but ultimately the goal is to provide a more accurate assessment of performance in the course.
