GRADING
IN IX- X
-
-
• The Adoption of grading in place of
marks is a positive and powerful directive of the National Policy of Education
for all levels of education.
-
-
• Marks are not reliable indicators of
child’s performance because of various defects in the scoring procedures.
-
-
• Grading helps in eliminating,
misclassification of student into different categories. The operational
dimension have been worked out for making the various steps as simple to
operate as possible while at the same time ensuring that they are academically
sound and practically feasible. The proposals are as under:
-
-
• The “Grades” will be awarded to indicate
the subject-wise performance of students in the examinations.
-
-
• The “Grades” will be awarded on a nine
point scale broadly based on percentiles without any reference to marks.
-
-
The levels of performance indicated by
different grades will be as under:
-
Grade Performance Level %
of Students Numerical Value
-
of Grade

-
• The three bottom grades Dl, D2 and E
will be treated as unsatisfactory. Thus 4%+7%+12%=23% of students will be
characterised as having demonstrated an unsatisfactory level of performance.
-
-
• The age old practice of declaring
students as having passed or failed in the examination will be discontinued.
