Last year, the annual exam system (calculating marks and percentage) made a comeback after eight years for class X as the board did away with Comprehensive and Continuous Evaluation (CCE) system under which students were given subject wise grades (A1 to E2) and an overall Cumulative Grade Point Assessment (CGPA) (4 to 10) instead of marks and percentage. Also, maths paper was allegedly leaked following which the board adopted tighter marking approach.
