CBSE Grading System : Schools and Students in Suspense

Unlike earlier, the students appearing in Class X annual examination of Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) this year will be awarded grades instead of marks in their certificates .

Till last year, the class X students used to get both marks as well as grades.

The schools however are seeing red in the new system, especially for this year. The class X students, who are to opt for a vocational or some other course after passing class X this year are worried a lot about their future.

Talking to Newsline, Harmeet Kaur Wariach, principal of Nankana Sahib Public School, Gill Road, said,

“The grade system is not uniformly accepted. So the students who want to go for Joint Entrance Test (JET) for courses related to computers and fashion designing etc are likely to suffer unless these institutes alter their admission criteria. Till last year, these institutes used to admit children on the basis of the test along with aggregate marks. But now, as these students will receive their result in the form of grades and not aggregate marks, it is not clear as to how they will admit these students.”
