CBSE Not To Award Any Division, Distinction In Board Exams
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has said that it will not award any division or distinction in class 10 and 12 board exams.
No division, distinction or aggregate of marks??
"No overall division, distinction or aggregate of marks shall be awarded. Also, if a candidate has offered more than five subjects, the decision to determine the best five subjects may be taken by the admitting institution or employer", said CBSE Examination Controller Sanyam Bhardwaj.
Bhardwaj said the Board does not calculate, declare or inform the percentage of marks.
"If the percentage of marks is required for higher education or in employment, the calculation, if any, may be done by the admitting institution or employer," he said.
How will this affect admissions?
According to CBSE, the decision on the best five subjects for calculating the students' marks will rest solely with the admitting college.
"If a candidate has offered more than five subjects, the decision to determine the best five subjects may be taken by the admitting institution or employer. Further, it is informed that the Board does not calculate/declare/ inform percentage of marks. If the percentage of marks is required for higher education or in employment, the calculation, if any, may be done by admitting institution or employer," an official release said.
Earlier, the CBSE also did away with the practice of issuing merit lists to avoid unhealthy competition.
