New grading system introduced

Starting with the 2024–25 academic session, CBSE has implemented a Relative Grading system to reduce academic pressure and curb unhealthy competition among students.

Unlike the previous fixed-range method (e.g., 91–100 marks = A1), the new system assigns grades based on students’ performance relative to their peers. Grade distribution will vary by subject and depend on how many students passed in each group.
