CBSE has launched a new grading system for the class 10th students. No, this is not the latest news. Even the trend of grading has started from this very year (2010). As everybody knows that this year all students have been awarded grades instead of marks and the practice of declaring compartment/Fail has been discontinued. Previously, there used to be two categories under which the results were issued, it was either pass or fail, but now these two categories has been changed into Eligible for qualifying Certificate (QUAL) and Eligible for improvement of performance (EIPO). This system of grading is said to have been launched to relieve the students from the tension of the cut- throat competition. Now the big question is, is it really going to help the students in their future endeavors?
Different kinds of grades are made, signifying different level of marks. For eg: A1 ranges for the marks between 91-100, A2 from 81-90, B1 from 71-80, B2 from 61-70 and so on. If Rohit and Kartik both gets A1 in Maths, how to differentiate between their marks, because kartik may have got 99 and rohit may have got 93. This is the lacuna of the grading system and students will have to bear its consequences.
In Exams like IIT-JEE, AIPMT, AIEEE and the like, even 0.01 percent marks are so important to decide your fate. How will the students cope up with this competition if they don't realize the pressure of being in a competition. No one will be failed, this is such a jolly situation where students will never realize the significance of hard work and the excruciating disappointment of failure.
When this fresh batch will go out for higher education and admissions in the prestigious colleges of the country, they will have to run helter and scalter to prove their merit. It is really going to be tough for the batches who are going to face the evaluation of their intelligence and hard work under grading system. It is extremely disappointing that the base of competition in academics has lost its significance.
Some students are really happy and some are sad and disappointed about this new grading system of CBSE. Will it really turn out to be beneficial for students or will it ruin the sentiment of competition between the students (which they will have to face when they go out of the school) is a spectacle to watch.
If we see the positive side of the grading system, the average students will be benefited, getting more opportunities in higher studies. But only future will give a vision as to how things roll on. We can just hope for the best and pray for the betterment of our students.
