Moderation policy
In a press note announcing the declaration of class 12 results, CBSE chairman RK Chaturvedi said that the board “will follow the moderation policy”. A CBSE official had also told HT that there will be no ‘artificial’ spiking of marks and that this could result in “a slight dip in scores”.
The moderation policy refers to a practice where students are given extra marks in subjects regarded as unusually difficult, or when there are variations in question paper sets. However, it was noted that such marks are doled out in excess
