Grace Marks Policy for AP Inter Supplementary 2026
BIE AP operates a grace marks scheme to assist students who narrowly miss the pass mark. This policy has been applied consistently in previous years and is expected to continue for IPASE 2026, based on prior trends.
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Grace Marks Available | Up to 5 marks per subject |
| Eligible Score Range | Students scoring 30 to 34 in a subject |
| Effect | Score raised to 35, granting a pass in that subject |
| Is It Guaranteed? | No — awarded at the discretion of BIE AP |
| Application Required? | No — BIE AP applies grace marks automatically during result processing |
Students scoring 30 or above in a subject should not assume failure before the official result is declared. BIE AP reviews borderline scores and applies grace marks where applicable. Aiming for 35 or above in every subject remains the safest approach.
What Happens if You Fail AP Inter Supplementary 2026
Students who do not pass one or more subjects in IPASE 2026 still have options. BIE AP provides a structured path for students to re-attempt failed subjects in subsequent exam cycles.
| Situation | Option Available |
|---|---|
| Scored 30–34 in a subject | Grace marks may be applied automatically — wait for the official result |
| Failed in 1 or 2 subjects | Apply for revaluation or recounting within the window announced by BIE AP |
| Still fails after revaluation | Appear for the next AP Inter Supplementary Exam in the following year |
| Failed in more than 2 subjects | Must re-appear for the full year exam in the next main March/April cycle |
- Revaluation: Students can apply for re-evaluation of their answer scripts within the prescribed deadline after the IPASE 2026 result. A fee applies per subject.
- Recounting: Recounting of marks without re-evaluation of answers is a lower-cost option for students who believe their marks were totalled incorrectly.
- Scanned Copy: Students may also request a scanned copy of their answer sheet before filing a revaluation application.
- All revaluation and recounting applications are submitted online at bie.ap.gov.in.
- There is no limit on the number of attempts for AP Inter — students can keep appearing until they clear all subjects.
