Under its new scheme of Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE), the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has now decided that students of classes IX and X who fare well in extra-curricular activities will be “upgraded” in one or two academic subjects.
Under CCE, students of classes IX and X are graded in both scholastic and co-scholastic areas. The CBSE has now decided that students getting good grades in co-scholastic areas will benefit in the scholastic area as well. The Board has asked all affiliated schools to “upgrade” the students — raise the grade in an academic subject — if they fare well in extra-curricular activities.
A student who scores between 34 and 42 grade points in extra-curricular activities stands a chance to be “upgraded” to the next level in two subjects in which he or she has got the lowest grade. A student getting grade points between 19 and 33 points will get one-level better grade in at least one subject.
