CBSE Class X results on Friday 10 am

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will publish the results of the Class X final board examination for all regions at 10 am on Friday, the premier academic body announced on its website on Monday evening.

In a significant initiative, prior to publishing the results of Class X 2010 board exam, the CBSE on Saturday published a sample marksheet of Class X to give a clear picture to students and parents on how the revised marklist will look like.

For the first time marks will not figure in the marksheet and instead grades and grade points will be awarded to students of Class X. There will be a Cumulative Grade Point Average which is the average of Grade Points obtained in all the subjects excluding additional 6th subject as per scheme of studies.

The CBSE has also shown how an indicative equivalence of Grade Point and percentage of marks can be assessed.The grades are on a nine-point scale with the A1 Grade having a mark range of 91-100 and a Grade Point of 10. The A2 Grade has a mark range of 81-90 and a Grade Point of 9. The D Grade has a mark range of 33-40 and a Grade Point of 4. "Those candidates who have obtained Grade E1 or E2 in the subjects of External Examination shall have to improve their performance through maximum of five subsequent attempts to qualify the subject(s)," says the CBSE.

To be eligible for Qualifying Certificate, a candidate must obtain a minimum of Grade D in all subjects excluding additional 6th subject as per Scheme of Studies. Those awarded a Qualifying Certificate shall be eligible for admission in Class XI, informs the CBSE.
