CBSE Board Result 2025: What's new this year?
CBSE carried out a Relative Grading system for the academic year 2024-2025 in order to reduce educational stress and harmful competition. Instead of grading students based on fixed mark variations (91-100 for A1 and 81-90 for A2), the new system compares them to their peers. Classes are now determined by a student's performance in a group, which varies by subject due to the number of approved students.
