The CBSE Moderation Policy
To maintain fairness across the various sets of question papers used during the 53-day exam period, CBSE employs a Moderation Policy. This mechanism balances scores if certain paper sets were found to be significantly more difficult than others or if errors were identified in specific questions. This standardisation ensures that a student’s final grade reflects their proficiency rather than the luck of which paper set they received.
Important Details to Verify
Once the result is downloaded, students are advised to meticulously check the following details on their scorecard:
- Personal Info: Full Name, Mother’s/Father’s Name, and Date of Birth.
- Academic Info: Subject Names and Codes, Subject-wise Marks, and Total Marks.
- Official Markers: CBSE Signature, Stamp, and Final Result Status (Pass/Fail/Essential Repeat).
In case of any discrepancies in personal data or marks, candidates should immediately contact their respective school heads or the local CBSE regional office for rectification.
