In academic grading, a C is higher than a C-, as the minus sign indicates a lower performance within the C range (e.g., a C is 2.0 GPA points, while a C- is 1.7), and in Australian driving, a Class C licence (Car) is standard, while 'higher' usually implies different licence classes like Class R (Motorcycle) or Light Rigid (LR), depending on the vehicle. The context determines if you mean grades or licence types, but in both cases, the 'C' without modification is better or more basic than 'C-' (grades) or represents a common vehicle class (licence).
Point values used in grade point average calculations for these grades were A (4.0), A- (3.7), B+ (3.3), B (3.0), B- (2.7), C+ (2.3), C (2.0), C- (1.7), D+ (1.3), D (1.0), and F (0.0). Additional information on historical grading scales in the School of Law is found at Academic Policies | UNC School of Law.
The grades and their numerical equivalent used for computing GPAs are: A+ = 4.0, A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B- = 2.7, C+ = 2.3, C = 2.0, C - = 1.7, D+ = 1.3, D = 1, D- = 0.7, F = 0.
A+, A, A- indicates excellent performance. B+, B, B- indicates good performance. C+, C, C- indicates satisfactory performance. D+, D, D- indicates less than satisfactory performance.
Excellent (A, A-). Very good (B+, B, B-). Average (C+, C). Poor (C-, D+, D).
The grades of A, B, C, D and P are passing grades. Grades of F and U are failing grades. R and I are interim grades. Grades of W and X are final grades carrying no credit.
A grade of C or better is required to earn a Passed; a C- or below will earn a Not Passed grade. A grade of C- may satisfy many requirements (e.g., General Education, elective) but a Not Passed grade will not earn any credit or satisfy requirements.
All schools in Australia are required to grade children's academic results on a 5 point scale. In many schools this is represented through A – E grades, with a C grade meaning that the student has learned to complete the skill or task reasonably well in the context of familiar tasks.
A 70% is often a B or a C, depending heavily on the grading system, but in many US systems it's a low C or C-, while in Australia, 70-74% is typically a Distinction (D), and 60-69% is a Credit (C). It's crucial to check your specific school or country's scale, as 70% can range from a solid pass to a high B or low Distinction.
A C- letter grade is equivalent to a 1.7 GPA, or Grade Point Average, on a 4.0 GPA scale, and a percentage grade of 70–72.
Any grades between 55 and 69 (D and F) are considered failing grades for which unit credit is not earned. While unit credit is not earned for a failing grade, point value is assigned for a D and an F for purposes of computing grade point averages. D = Equivalent to a failing grade and no unit credit is awarded.
Letters A, B, C, D, and P indicate passing grades; NP indicates no pass; F indicates failing. Units earned/allowed are awarded for grades of A, B, C, D, or P.
A grade of 4 is the equivalent of a C grade, known as a standard pass.
There are eleven pass grades: A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, CP and P. There are four fail grades: D+, D, D- and F. A pass mark is 50% or more.
A 70% is often a B or a C, depending heavily on the grading system, but in many US systems it's a low C or C-, while in Australia, 70-74% is typically a Distinction (D), and 60-69% is a Credit (C).

Minimum percentage of marks to be secured for Passing :
40% (40 out of 100) in theory paper by taking both components (i.e. Mid+End Semester Examination) and minimum Pass mark for Practical paper is 40%.
