<p>No, it’s exactly the same here. My school has terrible marking. They cut marks for right answers :-/ It’s ridiculous. You prepare hard and put down every single answer verbatim, and you get ZERO for half the answers - shake any student’s confidence.</p>
<p>But my school has never seen a single failure in ICSE/ISC in the almost 30 years of its history (there was one guy last year, but his was a forced case…) Reason - massive grade deflation in internal exams.</p>
<p>So seeing nt, akash and others getting 60s in subjects they are otherwise brilliant in, I couldn’t think of any other reason, cuz if there was a grade deflation, it’d have been the other way round (they’d be getting 60s/70s in school and 90+ in boards). So sorry guys for my previous remark… I guess CBSE really IS screwed up.</p>
