Scoring cent percent in CBSE exams now a realityBy : Md Mudassir Alam
TWO DAYS BACK CBSE declared class X results throughout India. As the result was declared successful students and their parents were seen in celebration mood. Now students with high percentage of marks are looking for admission in good colleges or senior secondary schools across the country. But if we have a look at the figures of the pass percentage and marks scored by students in various subjects it’s quite impressive this year. Some thousands of students across the country have scored perfect 100 in subjects like Mathematics, Social Science, Science and English.
According to figures 5,251 students scored 100 marks in Mathematics and 1,232 scored 100 in Social Science. In Delhi 658 students scored 100 in Mathematics, while 217 students have scored 100 marks in Social Science. Not only Mathematics and Social Science, but hundreds of students all over the country have scored 100 in subjects like English and Science and Technology. If we see the figures of last year there is tremendous increase in the number of students who have scored 100 marks in Mathematics and Social Science. The national figure says that last year 1,167 had scored cent percent marks in Mathematics, similarly in Social Science, 807 students had scored 100 marks. In Delhi too, the figures have raised from last year figure of 212 to 658 in Mathematics and 126 to 217 in Social Science.
Let’s take a look at the toppers of Delhi and NCR region, Ashwini Vaidya, the Delhi’s Topper has scored 98.2per cent marks. Other toppers from NCR are Bharat Munshi (98.6 per cent, Ghaziabad Topper), Anuradha Eswaran (97.2 per cent, Noida Topper) and Rishabh Jain (97.2 per cent, Gurgaon Topper). However the All-India topper is interestingly not from Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai or Kolkata, he’s from the state of Bihar. Manish Kumar, a student from Gyan Niketan secured an aggregate of 99.4 per cent marks. Manish is the son of Sanjay Kumar, the Director of Accounts, Postal Services and Sunita Kumari, made Bihar as well as his state proud.
From the above-mentioned figures we come to a conclusion that now scoring 100 out of 100 is not a distant dream for deserving students. Few years back, scoring cent percent marks in subjects apart from Mathematics was not possible, but now the scenario has changed. Not only in Mathematics, in fact, students can now score a perfect hundred in any subject. In general it appears quite surprising that a student can score 100 in subject like English and Sanskrit, where one has to answer with his/her own explanation on any given topic. What an examinee answers certainly differs from the desired criteria of examiner, so logically it’s not possible.
It’s true that today’s students are very intelligent and laborious too, but scoring cent percent marks in language subjects is quite indigestible. I think the examiner makes certain compromises to give 100 out of 100 to an examinee. At the risk of most people thinking it’s an illogical argument, I think it is a hard truth. The examiner should follow some strict criteria before giving hundred percent marks to a student in language subjects to maintain the credibility of the 100 per cent marks.
