What is the moderation policy for ISC?

CISCE has unofficially agreed to the no moderation policy proposed for the evaluation of answer scripts by CBSE in 2017.Initially, the moderation policy of CISCE included (to the best of my knowledge and understanding) the following:-Giving keyword marking in subjects like English Literature, Indian Languages and most of the Humanities subjects where keywords are preferred over writing ability of students.Ample step marking in the Science and Commerce subjects involving numericals.Giving grace marks to students short of a few marks from the passing marks to give them a passing grade or to all students for question papers that are regarded (by students,teachers etc.) as harder or offbeat than the conventional standard.Lenient checking and an array of correct alternative choices to be accepted as answers of the questions.However, from this year, it is likely for the above policy to be deposited in cold storage under the no moderation policy proposal of CBSE, though the official website hasn’t given any notification regarding this decison.Thanks for A2A.P.S- While it is generally considered that giving grace marks only is regarded as ‘moderation’,for CISCE ‘moderation’ relates to ways of increasing the pass percentage of students and all of the above fall under this category.This answer is my personal opinion and different views from others will always be welcomed and appreciated.

Is the upgradation of grades done in class 7?

A2A by Aparna RaiIt depends on your school.CBSE does not prepare the result of class 7 of every school. They do it for class 10 and class 12, where, grades are upgraded and/or moderation provided respectively.So, if your school follows the policy of upgradation of grades, they will be upgraded. If not, then no.Better ask your teachers or seniors.Hope this helps!! Good luck!

How does CBSE moderation for class XII work?

According to moderation policy, evaluators are asked to revise marks of some students higher based on the set of questions they received during their exams and the perception of how tough their paper was, says a Hindustan Times report.So if the board tested students on three different sets of questions papers for the same exam, a student who may have scored 80 percent on the question paper viewed to be the toughest could have her marks revised higher. Soon after the exams were held this year, the government said the practice will be discontinued with immediate effect for several boards, including CBSE.It is not clear whether the marks moderation policy is different from the 'grace marks' policy, in which marks of students scoring below the passing line are pushed higher.The HT report quoted a source as saying yesterday's judgment was unlikely to 'delay' CBSE 12th Results 2017. "Even if we have to apply the moderation policy, it will not cause a lot of delay because everything is done scientifically," a source told the paper, which added that the results will likely be out this week.

How does the CBSE 15% moderation policy works?

The moderation marks usually differs for every subject and even with every student. So I don't think it's exactly 15%. For eg. students with Mathematics may get 7% in moderations where as Physics papers may get 10%. So we really don't know the exact number. Moderation has been a common practice in Indian Boards and those thinking these moderation started from last year isn't true. At the same moment we really don't know from when did this practise come in existence. I mostly think it started when the JEE started giving weightage to Board results.I tried to research on this topic but the information which is available I believe is not reliable and mostly fake. Moderation or Standardisation has higher advantage for those students who have attempted a set for a particular subject which was easy, as the Board may try to make them par with those students who attempted a tougher set. So they end up getting even more marks. At the end, you will get more marks. So don't worry. Everything will be fine. I will update my answer if I get any new reliable information in hand to me.Just sit back and relax. Wishing my batch mates all the very best!
