CBSE Advises Schools to Review Internal Assessment Procedures

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has instructed affiliated schools to appropriately assess practical exam marks after identifying differences in theory and practical marks in some schools‘ previous year’s results. To make sure that the evaluation process is realistic and enhances the academic journey of the student, they have released advice to examine internal assessment procedures. The goal is to create a more robust and transparent process.

According to a notice, 50% or more of the students at roughly 500 CBSE-affiliated schools have “discovered, through advanced AI tools, a significant variation between theory and practical marks in certain subjects, based on past years’ result statistics,” according to the CBSE.

They added, “Meticulous assessment during practical examinations in schools” is necessary, as evidenced by the variation in marks. In order to improve the quality of education at institutions affiliated with CBSE, the CBSE is asking schools to give fairness and accuracy top priority when grading practical exams.

A major problem in schools has surfaced in recent years: assigning Students higher marks. Not only did the pass rate rise in state boards but so did the percentage of students who scored above 90% in their Class 10 and 12 boards. Competition for college admissions has eventually intensified as a result of this.
