Volume : I, Issue : IV, May - 2011 Examination Reforms-A shift from numerical marking to grading Satish Kumar Kalhotra Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Examination form an integral part of any education system and an in-depth study
of the system remains incomplete without studying the examination system in
vogue under it. A movement was started for examination reform, which gathered
momentum with the establishment of Central Examination unit of trained
evaluation officers by the Govt. of India in 1958. The outstanding feature of the
new reform movement is the emphasis laid on the modern concept of evaluation
which has found increasing acceptance in educational circles in India in recent
years. The grades would give more reliable picture of students’ ability than the
prevalent marking system. One cannot claim that grading system is flawless but
compatibility it is better than of pass/fail system With the help of grading, it
reduces mal classification of students’ on the basis of unreliable marks. High
achievers will get relieved from competition. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Satish Kumar Kalhotra, (2011). Examination Reforms-A shift from numerical marking to grading.
