CBSE Class 10th, 12th Results 2025: This state has been the top performer
From the academic session 2024–25 onward, CBSE has introduced a ‘Relative Grading’ system, aimed at reducing academic stress and unhealthy competition among students. Unlike the previous fixed grading model — which allocated grades based on specific mark ranges (such as 91–100 for A1, 81–90 for A2) — the new system assesses a student’s performance in comparison to their peer group. As a result, the cutoff for each grade may vary depending on subject-wise performance trends and the number of passing candidates.
