The awarding of marks is being implemented from the SSC examinations March 2020 onwards for identification of merit for admission and recruitment
The Andhra Pradesh government has dispensed with the existing grading system in the SSC Public Examinations and reintroduced the system of awarding marks, considering the difficulties being faced for admission and recruitment, since a large number of students are securing similar grades. The awarding of marks is being implemented from the SSC examinations March 2020 onwards for identification of merit for admission and recruitment. The CBSE pattern of awarding grades on ‘Relative Grading System’ for the SSC Public Examinations was introduced in March 2010 with an idea to reduce stress for students and put an end to the mad race for ranks. The decision was hailed by academics who were in favour of continuous evaluation of students by taking a number of small tests throughout the year instead of a single test at the end of the academic year.More Related News
