As lakhs of CBSE Class 10 students across the country are waiting for the declaration of CBSE Class 10 Board Exam 2021 result, the CBSE is expected to announce the results for Class 10 Board Exams 2021 by July 20.
Now, the CBSE has issued a circular to all its affiliated schools after which speculations are rife that the announcement of CBSE Class 10 Board Exam 2021 result might get delayed further.
In the circular, the CBSE has asked the schools to follow the marking or assessment policy formulated by it and warned the schools against giving inflated marks to students.
The CBSE in its circular said, "The Tabulation Policy of Class-X was to understand the principles of evaluation namely reliability, fairness and validity during the process of evaluation and to take care of the variation in school level evaluation process, standardize the scores across schools through a process of moderation of marks. This was necessary in the interest of fairness and to ensure that the marks allotted are comparable and there is no adverse impact or undue gain for any student because of the methodology and the processes of evaluation used by an individual school."
In order to back schools in above mentioned task, the CBSE gave best of three years performance including marks distribution and mean marks for the pourpose of reference.
"Accordingly, schools were expected to follow the reference distribution while awarding marks. However, upon data analysis post uploading of marks by schools, it has been observed that while majority of schools have followed the reference distribution, some schools have not done the same and bunched the marks in upper brackets of given reference range. e.g. instead of distributing theory marks in 70-80 range, marks have been bunched between 77-80 range," noted CBSE.
The CBSE thinks that this is unfair for deserving candidates and that's why schools are directed to comply with the tabulation policy by awarding marks, similar with the best historic performance.
"The cases of all the candidates who have been awarded 96 and more marks should be reviewed and revised in a manner that the number of students scoring 96 and above in a subject, this year, is not more than the number of students scoring those marks in that subject, as per the best historic performance of the last three years," the CBSE circular read.
