CBSE Grading System for Class 9th
Once can forget about failing in classes IX or X in a CBSE school. Though the CBSE board has made changes in several evaluation methods, the CBSE board will now allow three more attempts for the students who do not clear classes IX and X to make the grade. And if they still fail to do so, the board is take into consideration their performance in extracurricular activities and sports after seeing their past academic record. So if you can bend a ball like Bekham but are with a poor maths score, there’s a chance you’ll still pass the year.
Assessments, will also be reevaluated. A child who performs miserably in the written exams can be checked orally, or through the class projects, just to ensure if he has understood the concepts or not. Adding more to it, the CBSE board, which is in the preparation of making board exams optional and replacing them with a system of continuous and detailed evaluation in classes IX and X – now wants schools to show students their answer sheets over the two years and take into account students’ feedback before the final grade is given.
To make the 9th standard term exams unbiased and realistic, the Class IX and X term papers will now be set by the board, so the level of question papers in CBSE schools across the country remains the same. Those who are showing extra ordinary talent at say, biology, or math, can opt for a proficiency test in the subject, which will have questions at the level of a science Olympiad.
“Recently, I was in England to see what type of schools and education system they have. It was a great surprise to me that the last Class X exam they conducted was in 1964. I strongly believe that the Class X exam is not for children. It is for parents. The kind of pressure they create in a child’s mind, creativity and imagination are lost. At the school level generally, we deal with the concepts. And the concepts cannot vary from region to region. Addition taught in Kanyakumari is the same as addition taught in Kashmir. So I fully endorse the policy of one board and one curriculum.” said the Principal, Atomic Energy Central School 5, Mr. AK Hazra
