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.
