The following scheme may be followed for upscaling the grades in scholastic areas:
a) Students who get total grade points in co-scholastic areas/ activities in the range 53-65 may be upgraded to the next higher grade in two subjects in scholastic areas.
b) Students who get total grade points in the range 40-52, may be upgraded to the next higher grade in one subject in scholastic area.
c) The upscaling of Grade in Scholastic Areas is applicable in Main Subject only (i.e. excluding Additional 6th Subject).
d) No Grade should be upscaled twice.
e) No upscaling is done if the Grade obtained in the subject is E2 or A1.
f) Upscaling is done from lowest grade to next higher grade and so on.
(Example : E1 be upscaled to D, D to C2, C2 to C1, C1 to B2, B2 to B1, B1 to A2 and A2 to A1)
g) In case of tie in Grades in two or more subjects (i.e. if Grades obtained are same), the upscaling be done in following order :
• Higher marks obtained in the subject be preferred
• In case of tie in marks, higher marks obtained in Summative Assessments (SA1+SA2)
• In case of tie in Summative Assessments marks, higher marks obtained in Formative Assessments (FA1+FA2+FA3+FA4)
h) Benefit shall be given to the students who win I/II positions/prizes in competitions held at State level and/or participation in competitions held at National/International level organized by a body recognized by the State/Central Government/ CBSE. Any competition organised by such agencies related to the co-scholastic areas/ activities included in the Board's CCE card may be considered for giving this benefit. Those students who qualify under this provision will benefit by getting their grade up-scaled to the next higher grade in two subjects provided this benefit has not been given to the student under the aforesaid grade point scheme.
Consequently, the maximum grade points which a student can obtain in co-scholastic areas/activities becomes 65 as compared to 42 in the earlier scheme.
The upgraded grade has been shown with '**'.
