@ all No Points Earned? Just a guess really based on a NG=No Grade in our (Irish) exam grading system. NG is a bad fail: 0% to 9.99 % A pass grade is 40%.
We use Abs (absent) for those who don't sit the exam at all
Probably one to ask the client?

But there's also no 'excellent' on the list. Maybe that's what the E stands for.

philgoddard Apr 3:

I think Michael's 'not passed examination' is a possibility. It could be a euphemism for 'fail', which doesn't appear in the list. And while it sounds odd to western ears, a little Googling shows that it appears to work in Indian English.

The country is India

Allegro The country is India - it says at the top of the page.

"National Policy on Education" doesn't sound like a grade description to me.

Michael Beijer Apr 2:

aha, I missed that Not sure how this would make sense, but "National Policy on Education" comes up a lot if you google Indian stuff in the context of education.

Diogo Garcia Apr 2:

India There's a tag that says India education system, which leads me to believe that is the country in question. Given that it's a middle school certificate, I think non-participating enrolment makes sense. A subject in which the person is enrolled, but hasn't attended nor completed any evaluations.

@Bogdan: do you have any more context regarding the specific country or anything else useful

Michael Beijer Apr 2:

a few options • Not Passed Exam

• Not Proficient Enough (the student's performance does not meet the minimum proficiency standards required for a passing grade but is not as low as what might be traditionally considered "failing" or "poor.")

• Not Previously Evaluated (might be used if the student was not present for the assessment or if the work was not submitted for some reason. It indicates a lack of data rather than an evaluation of performance)

Non-Participation Evaluation (perhaps used in situations where a student did not actively participate in the work or assessments required to earn a traditional grade. This could be applied in courses or projects where participation is a key component of the evaluation process)

• Needs Practical Experience (in some educational systems, practical skills and experiences are as important as theoretical knowledge. This designation could suggest that while theoretical understanding is adequate, more practical application or experience is needed.)
