For the year 2024, the Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education has announced major changes in matriculation and inter-practical examinations.

| A+ | Outstanding | 90-95% |
| A | Remarkable | 85-90% |
| B++ | Excellent | 80-85% |
| B+ | Very Good | 75-80% |

| C | Fair | 60-70% |

Online attestation and equivalence certification edit
In 2023, IBCC, as part of its comprehensive reform agenda, moved its entire system of authentication and equivalency certification online using QR code-based technology.[1] This online system allows students to pursue their education through online schooling programs up to Secondary School Certificate (SSC) or Matriculation.[5]
