No spiking of marks to clear class 10, 12 board exams: Govt
The Human Resource Development Ministry has advised the state education boards and the Central Board of Secondary Education to discontinue spiking of marks in Class 10 and 12 board exams from 2018. However, school boards may continue with a moderation policy to grant marks for papers with "difficult" or "ambiguous" questions, and continue to pass borderline cases.
