Relative Grading for CBSE 2024:

CBSE has implemented “Relative Grading,” which is based on the more scientific relative grading method as opposed to absolute grading, which assigns grades based on preset cut-off values. This means that rather than basing grades on a range of marks, such as 91 to 100 or 81 to 90, the candidates’ respective merits are taken into account to decide their group. The amount of candidates passing each subject determines the grade variation between subjects.

All of the passing students are placed in eight equal groups based on rank order, and they receive the following grades.

• When a topic has less than 500 passing candidates overall, the grading scheme will be based on the distribution and grading of other subjects.

The grading system’s operation is demonstrated by the example that follows:
