I tried to reproduce this using variable subj, but I got:

Code:
$ awk -F: '{if($1~subj && $2~lec){$3=newMark}}1' subj="subject1" lec="LecturerA" newMark=100 OFS=":" infile
subject1:LecturerA:100

subject2:LecturerA:40
$ b=subject1 lect=LecturerA mark=100
$ awk -F: '{if($1~subj&&$2~lec){$3=newMark}}1' subj="$sb" lec="$lect" newMark="$mark" OFS=":" infile
subject1:LecturerA:100

subject2:LecturerA:40
