Importance of Co Scholastic Grades

b) Those students who get total grade points in the range 40-52, may benefit by getting upgraded to the next higher grade in one subject in scholastic area.

c) Upscaling will be done from lowest grade to next higher grade and so on.

d) E2 grade will not be upscaled.

Based on grades obtained by a student in Co-Scholastic areas he/she can be upscaled in one or two subjects.

Each area in Life Skills has ten indicators which are valued out of 5 marks and the total scored is then divided by ten to attain the grade point

For Example

If a child scores 35 marks in thinking skill, his/her grade will be B and Grade point will be 3.5

Similarly all other areas are assessed in marks and then converted into grade and grade point.

The maximum grade point a student can attain is 65.
