After Xth the CBSE is now preparing itself to introduce grading system for XII too. Union HRD Minister Kapil Sibal today said that the ministry is considering the modalities of introducing grade system in senior secondary classes.
The Ministry has already discussed the issue with the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangthan, Vice-Chancellors of Central Universities apart from CBSE. Sibal said that a committee on this issue has already been made. After the committee’s report the ministry will take view of CABE and CoBSE in this regard.
“Several issues are involved in introducing the grading system for 12th. The biggest hurdle is to get recognition from universities for it for admission in the undergraduate courses”, said a senior official of HRD Ministry. This is the reason that Ministry wants to introduce SAT-type test for admission in the undergraduate courses, he adds.
