vIndianz.com (Sept. 07, 2009) — A much awaited change has come. Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Kapil Sibal announced that Class X examinations of the CBSE will be optional from the next academic year (2010-11) while the grading system will be introduced this year itself.
He said that board exams would be held as usual this academic year March 2010, but a grading system would be introduced along with the prevalent marks system. From 2011, the grading system will continue but the Board exams will become optional.
The nine-point scale will start from A1(with 91-100 marks, exceptional), A2(81-90, excellent), B1(71-80, very good), B2(61-70, good), C1(51-60, fair), C2(41-50, average), D(33-40, below average), E1(21-32, needs improvement) and E2(00-20, unsatisfactory).
The grading system targets to reduce pressure on students. But if the students choose to skip the class 10 exams, they have to take their Class 12 board exams from the same school.
