 Mark Inflation and Compression

  • Mark Inflation: High pass rates and a large number of students achieving high marks suggest marks are often inflated.

  • Mark Compression: Many students score within a narrow high range, making it difficult to distinguish levels of performance.

  • These practices diminish the reliability of marks, impacting students' readiness for higher education and employment.

  • The perception of inflated marks fuels demand for competitive entrance exams to better assess student capabilities.

Variations Across Boards

  • National pass percentages are high (85% for class 10, 82% for class 12), indicating potential mark inflation.

  • The percentage of students scoring above 60% varies widely among boards.

  • Regional Disparities: States like Assam, Bihar, and Uttar Pradesh show lower percentages of high scorers compared to others.

  • Variability in grading standards and marking practices across the 42 different boards

  • There is no standardized scale to compare student performance across boards, which complicates the assessment of educational quality.


Comparison with Other Countries

  • Mark inflation is not unique to India; many countries experience similar issues with grading.

  • National-level tests (e.g., NEET, JEE) are used to offset mark inflation but primarily serve as selection tools rather than educational benchmarks.

  • Internationally, standardized tests are used to benchmark student performance. 

  • However, these tests often do not align perfectly with local curricula or address all grading discrepancies.

  • National standardized tests (e.g., NCERT’s National Achievement Survey) aim to provide a consistent measure of student performance but may not fully address grading disparities.
