The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) employs a Grade Point Average (GPA) grading system to evaluate academic performance. This system ensures standardized assessment and facilitates the fair categorization of candidates based on their academic achievements. Below is an outline of the GPA grading system and its corresponding classifications:
First Class (GPA 3.7 – 4.00) Marks Range: 81 – 100. This is the highest classification and represents exceptional academic performance. Candidates in this category demonstrate mastery of the subject matter, analytical skills, and a strong aptitude for teaching.
Upper Second Class (GPA 3.0 – 3.6) Marks Range: 71 – 80 This classification reflects above-average academic performance. Candidates in this group exhibit strong knowledge and understanding of their academic disciplines.
Lower Second Class (GPA 2.3 – 2.9) Marks Range: 61 – 70. This category is for candidates with satisfactory academic achievement. While their performance is moderate, they meet the basic requirements for teaching roles.
Pass (GPA 1.7 – 2.2) Marks Range: 51 – 60. Candidates in this category meet the minimum academic standards. They are deemed competent but may require further professional development.
Fail (GPA 0 – 1.6) Marks Range: 50 and below. This classification indicates inadequate academic performance. Candidates falling in this category do not meet the required academic standards for TSC qualifications.
This grading system promotes transparency, consistency, and equity in assessing applicants’ academic qualifications, aligning with TSC’s commitment to maintaining high professional standards in education.
