• No Hard Copies: Schools are not required to submit hard copies of marks to the Council.
• Accuracy: Institutions must ensure there are no errors while uploading marks. For absent students, the entry “AB” should be used.

For any queries regarding the practical exams or online marks submission, heads of institutions are advised to contact their respective Regional Offices during office hours.
