How Cbse’s Grading System Work

HOW CBSE’S GRADING SYSTEM WORK
1. All students have been awarded grades, not marks
2. The practice of declaring Compartment/Fail has been discontinued
3. The result of candidates is now declared in two cate¬gories: Eligible for qualifying certificate (QUAL) and Eligible for improvement of performance (EIOP)
4. All candidates, even if they have failed in all subjects will now have five chances to improve their performance without having to repeat a year.
THE NEW ORDER
With Board exams being made optional from the academic year 2010-11, a new system of evaluation – Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) – based on grades has been approved. It comprises formative and summative assessment of the student to be done over two terms – first and second -during the year-long academic calendar.
Summative Assessment: Based on the term-end examination
1. There will be two evaluations each in the first and second terms.
2. The first term-end exam will carry 20 marks.
3. The second term-end exam will carry 40 marks.
Formative Assessment: To evaluate and grade class work, homework, assignment and project work
1. There will be one term-end exam for each term.
2. Each evaluation will carry 10 marks apiece.
EVALUATION
Students of class IX and X will be evaluated on a 9-point grading system. Each grade, given on the basis of both formative and summative assessments, will correspond to a range of marks as indicated below :
MARKS RANGE | GRADE | GRADE POINT |
91-100 | A1 | 10.0 |
81 -90 | A2 | 9.0 |
71 -80 | B1 | 8.0 |
