Kerala Plus One Admission 2026 — WGPA Explained
Seat allotment in HSCAP is based on WGPA — Weighted Grade Point Average. This is different from simple percentage — it gives extra weight to subjects relevant to the stream chosen.
How WGPA is Calculated
- WGPA is calculated from Class 10 / SSLC marks
- Relevant subjects for the chosen stream get higher weightage
- Bonus points are added for eligible candidates (NCC, Sports, etc.)
- Reservation criteria are also applied
Tie-Breaking Rules
In case of a tie in WGPA, the following tie-breaking order is applied: Grace mark recipients ranked lower → Higher Academic Value Part (AVP) → Higher TGP of weighted subjects → Higher grade in English → Higher grade in First Language → Preference order of combination given by applicant → Local priority (same school → same Panchayat → Government/Aided school not in Panchayat → same Taluk → same District).
