The Central Board of Secondary Education, (CBSE) on May 16, 2024, issued a notification regarding Relative Grading
The system of 'Relative Grading' adopted by the CBSE for awarding subject-wise grades to the candidates in class X & XII 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.
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 & XII.
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.
