CBSE uses grace marks policy after govt assured to abolish it
The CBSE has used the moderation policy for Class 12 exam this year, despite Human Resource Development Minister Prakash Javadekar's assurances that it would be abolished, reports said. Under the policy, grace marks up to 15% are given to students for attempting difficult questions. Javadekar had called the policy "an illogical menace", stating that such inflation of marks was "unacceptable".
