in any or all the five is eligible for improving his/her performance in any or
all the five subjects and may reappear once for Improvement of Performance.

Performance’ be same for Upgrading of Performance and main examination in class
X?

are issued only Statement of Subject wise Performance reflecting the grades
obtained in the said examination.
5.
If my ward opts Scheme 1 (School Based
Assessment) then will he get admission in class XI in another Board.
Yes, as the
uniform ‘Grade Sheet Cum Certificate of Performance’ prepared, printed and
signed by the Board at the end of Class X is issued by the CBSE to all
candidates appearing in class X, there should not be any problem for your ward
in getting admission in Class XI, as there is equivalence between Class X of
different Boards.
6.
Would school show the answer sheet of classes IX
and X to the students?
Schools are
advised to show the answer sheets of SAI & II of class IX and SA I of class
X to the students for their benefit and satisfaction. However, they may take it
back for maintaining a record for sometime.
7.
Will the results for CBSE Class X and
School-Based Exams SA2 be announced at the same time or separately? Is there
any discrimination for admission in class XI?
The results for
the CBSE-conducted and school-conducted Summative Assessment examination will
be declared at the same time. As far as the CBSE is concerned, there is no
discrimination between students who opt for Board-conducted examination or
school-conducted examination for admission to Class XI.
8.
What is the major difference between the
school-based exam and board exam?
The syllabus and question paper design for Summative
Examination II conducted by the Board & by the schools is the same as
prescribed by CBSE for second term. The only difference is that students of
school-conducted examination appear in their own school where as those of Board
conducted appear in the allotted centre. The answer copies of Board-conducted
examination are centrally evaluated at designated centres whereas those of
school-based, by the school teachers based on the marking schemes supplied by
the Board.

How is CGPA calculated?
The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is the
average of Grade Points obtained in all the subjects (excluding additional 6th
subject) as per Scheme of Studies. An indicative equivalence of Grade Point and
percentage of marks is computed as follows: Subject wise indicative percentage
of marks =9.5x GP of the subject Overall indicative percentage of marks =9.5x
CGPA
