exam reforms committee

The exam reforms committee of Delhi University (DU) has recently recommended that instead of awarding marks, the students should be given Grade Point Average (GPA) score. The reform panel has come up with this plan, realizing that the grading system is a broader and fairer method of identifying a student's level of knowledge. The CBSE had earlier mooted a similar plan for class X exams and is gearing to implement the grading system for class X from 2008. According to the panel, a high powered committee is to be set up by the Vice Chancellor to examine the feasibility of introducing the grading system. The report of the reforms panel also tells about a centralized evaluation process. At present teachers merely collect the answer scripts from the evaluation centre and submit them after checking along with the award lists .
