The circular states that a school can deduce a student’s numeric point in any subject by multiplying respective grade point by 9.5 and obtain the cumulative average by multiplying 9.5 with the cumulative grade point.
“9.5 is a common multiplier worked out on different parameters. Every grade has a specific point allocated to it, like A1 has 10, A2 has 9 and so on. The numeric point will be obtained by multiplying this grade point with 9.5 and make admissions accordingly,” CBSE’s official spokesperson, told the the Newspaper over telephone.
But many schools had doubts about the formula. How ever the Schools feel differently “Earlier we were to face a situation where hundreds of students would get the same grades. Now we will have the same number with same numeric points. The CBSE is confusing everybody. We will depend on aptitude tests rather than this.”
