16. Operational Modalities 1 • Grades on a 9 point scale will be awarded. • Performance will be assessed using conventional numerical marking and same will be converted into grades. • The CBSE will issue a statement of Subject wise performance i.e. Grade Sheet (NO MARKS) for class X students studying in secondary schools • In case a student leaves the CBSE system after having completed the Final Formative and Summative Assessments in the school he / she will be allowed to appear for the Boards (pen paper / online) EXTERNAL EXAMINATION. • Further, for those students who wish to assess themselves, after having given the final Summative Assessment in the school, an ON DEMAND PROFICIENCY TEST is available online which is different from the EXTERNAL EXAMINATION conducted by the board.

17. Operational Modalities 2 • Students will only be promoted on the basis of both Formative and Summative Assessments both of which are mandatory. • Percentile Rank will be given on demand by the CBSE for the students who appear in the external examination conducted by the Board

18. Percentile – A percentile rank is the percentage of scores that fall below a given score. To find the percentile rank of a score x, out of a set of n scores, where x is not included, use. LETS TAKE AN EXAMPLE… What is Percentile Ranking ? NO. OF STUDENTS IN A CLASS= 40 SCORE OF STUDENT ‘A’= 80% NO. OF STUDENTS BELOW HIM= 22 PERCENTILE RANKING OF STUDENT A NO. OF STUDENTS BELOW (A) X 100 TOTAL NUMBER OF STUDENTS 22 X 100 = 55 PERCENTILE RANK 40

19. GRADING SYSTEM ADVANTAGES • Minimize misclassification of students on the basis of marks. • Eliminate unhealthy cut throat competition among high achievers. • Reduce societal pressure and provide the learner with more flexibility. • Lead to a better learning environment.
