Students admitted to Intermediate Arts course, it will be necessary for them to pass in each
paper of each Part of the examination before a student is declared to have passed that Part of the
examination. To pass in each paper, a student must secure at least 33% of marks in each paper
separately. To determine 33% of marks in each paper, the marks obtained by a student, both in the
term-end written examination and practical work/home assignment, shall be clubbed and counted
together and percentage determined according. However, if a candidate has secured Zero mark in the
term-end examination or the home assignment/practical examination in any paper, as the case may be,
he/she will be deemed to have failed in that paper. Failure in one paper will mean failure in that part of
the examination. Hence, students must strive hard to pass separately in each paper.
The Intermediate of Arts course consists of two parts i.e. Part I and Part II. The term-end
examination shall be held for each Part of the course at the end of each academic session and it will be
compulsory to pass in Part I of the examination before a student is promoted to Part-II.
