    CBSE Introduces 9-Point Relative Grading System to Reduce Student Stress

    The CBSE has transitioned from relying solely on absolute marks to a 9-point relative grading system. Under this updated approach, students are awarded grades ranging from A1 (the highest) to E (Essential Repeat) based on their percentile rank among all passing candidates. By focusing on relative performance rather than raw scores, this system aims to significantly reduce academic pressure and stress. Additionally, it ensures a fairer evaluation process by naturally accounting for any variations in difficulty levels across different sets of question papers.

    CBSE Board 2026: What is On-Screen Marking Scheme?

    CBSE has started using an on-screen marking system to check Class 12 board exam answer sheets. In this system, examiners evaluate scanned answer copies on a computer instead of checking physical papers. However, Class 10 answer sheets will still be checked in the traditional paper-based method.

    Before the actual checking begins, one full day is kept for understanding the marking scheme, practising sample evaluations, and training teachers to use the digital system properly. This helps reduce mistakes and ensures fair and accurate marking.
