CBSE's Relative Grading System: Understanding Relative Grading with QuickGrader

As a teacher, you're probably aware of the new CBSE grading system that awards subject-wise grades to students in Classes X and XII. But have you ever wondered how the grading is determined or how you can use it to assess your own students' performance? In this blog post, we'll explore the CBSE grading system and introduce you to QuickGrader, an easy-to-use tool developed by ClassM that helps you apply relative grading to your own assessments.

Understanding the CBSE Grading System

The CBSE awards subject-wise grades to candidates in classes X and XII examinations based on a relative grading system. This scientific approach ensures that grades are not based solely on predetermined cut-off levels but on the performance of the candidate in comparison to their peers. The grading system varies from subject to subject and is determined based on the number of candidates passing the subject.

Queries from parents and students about the awarding of grades in CBSE exams are often addressed by referring them to the details provided on the back of the marksheet or marksheet-cum-certificate. However, it is important to note that the CBSE grading system is based on relative grading rather than absolute grading. This means that grades are not assigned based on a specific range of marks, but on the candidate's relative merit within their group. The grading system promotes fairness and accuracy in evaluating a student's academic performance.
