Just 0.54% away from scoring a perfect 100, 16-year-old Nandita Rajan surprised herself by scoring 99.46% in her CBSE Class X results that were declared on Tuesday morning. A student of Centre Point School in Nagpur, Nandita was informed about her actual score by her ecstatic school authorities. "My family still can't believe that I scored this much," Nandita told TOI.
While only 35% of the total number of CBSE Class X students in the Chennai region opted out of the board examinations this year, close to 60% of students in the city took this option. Many schools had only 10-15 % of their students opting for board examinations and surprisingly , toppers at most schools turned out to be those who had appeared for the schoolbased assessment. School heads, who were strictly informed by board authorities not to reveal their toppers this year, told TOI that this might be the case because students who appeared for the school-based assessment were less stressed than the others who appeared for the board examination.
Jose Kurien, principal of DAV High School, Nerul said, "There is a possibility that from next year most of the students would take only the school-based test as it reduces a lot of anxiety among students, makes them more confident since they appear for the exam in their school set-up and reduces the unnecessary fear of competition."
School tests put students at ease, send scores soaring
School-Based Assessment Reduces Stress, More Get 90%
The Central Board of Secondary Examinations (CBSE) authorities only released the Chennai and Delhi region results on Tuesday , along with strict instructions to schools to not reveal the scores of their toppers . But though schools refused to reveal details of their top scorers, most schools had an increase in the number of students securing above 75% as well as those with above 90% in the Class X examinations this year.
Most Kendriya Vidyalaya schools in the city registered a success rate of 100%. In Kendriya Vidyalaya, Bhandup, the number of students with 90% and above has gone up from 13 to 20 this year. Principal Lily Siddharth said, "There is a rise in the numbers of 90% scorers every year. Our students have been consistently performing well in the past few years. Also the school-based test has reduced a lot of stress."
Cherian George, principal of Kendriya Vidyalaya, IIT-Powai , said, "The students have performed well, irrespective of school-based test or board exams. Last year around 30 students from our school had scored CGPA 10 (students scoring higher than 90%). This year the number has gone up to 48. In our school only 18 candidates opted for the board exam, rest all have taken the school test. The school assessment gives students a lot of flexibility and has also made them more confident."
At DAV Kharghar, even though all students appeared for the board examinations, of the class of 102 students, 51 students scored above 90%. "The number of 90% and above scorers keeps increasing with every result," said Seema Maindiratta, principal of the school.
At R N Podar School in Santacruz, 61 out of 183 students scored above 90% this year and 154 students scored above 75%. School authorities agreed that there has been a slight rise in the numbers as compared to last year. "One of the main reasons for doing away with declaration of names of top scorers was to ensure that students don't get into the rat race of competing for extra marks. This way, while schools know how well their students are doing, the students themselves can be content with the fact that they have scored above 90%," said Sunita George, vice-principal of R N Podar School.
