Examinations along with the Marks secured by them in each subject has already been circulated vide circular number CBSE/CE/Coord/2021 dated 25 February 2021 The contents of the said circular are reiterated for the information of all the stakeholders as below - CBSE awards subject-wise grades to the candidates in class X & XII Examinations along with the marks secured by them in each subject. The awarded grades are reflected in the mark-sheet cum certificate issued to the candidates of class X & XI The ‘Relative Grading’ which has been adopted by the CBSE is based on the relative grading which is the more scientific approach instead of absolute grading wherein grades are given based on predetermined cut off levels. Meaning thereby, the grades are not determined on the marks range i.e. 91 to 100, 81 to 90 or so but on the basis of the group, the candidates fall into on the relative merit of the candidates. The grades vary from subject to subject based on the number of candidates passing the subject. For awarding grades, all the passed students are put in a rank order divided into 8 equal groups and are awarded grades as follows- At Top 1/8" of the passed candidates A2 Next 1/8" of the passed candidates BA Next 1/8" of the passed candidates B2 Next 1/8" of the passed candidates cA Next 1/8 of the passed candidates [ o2 Next 1/8" of the passed candidates D-1 Next 1/8" of the passed candidates D-2 Next 1/8" of the passed candidates E Essential Repeat While placing the candidates in a rank order, the following points are taken into consideration: (a) Minor variations in proportion of candidates to adjust ties are made, wherever necessary.
