Students score perfect 10 and Pressure of Exams off
A common of schools in the city reported 100% success in the Central Board of Secondary Education’s (CBSE) CBSE Class 10 Results 2012, which were declared by the central board late on Monday.
The performance of students too has gone up with many schools reporting a large number of students with an A1 grade for full 10 grade points.
For example, the Army Public School (APS) and Delhi Public School (DPS) had as many as 60 and 47 students, who ended up with an identical CGPA (cumulative grade point average) of 10, respectively.
In line with the CBSE’s directives to the schools against making public the %age of successful students, several schools preferred revealing only the grades of their students when contacted by TOI.

The Army Public School (APS) in Camp reported a 100% success with 283 students appearing for the exam. Of these, 220 had opted for the school-based test, while 63 for the board exam.
Principal Binita Poonekar said, “Of the total students, 60 secured an A1-grade while 80 students secured A2 grade with a grade point ranging from 9 to 9.8. Most of the remaining got grade points between 7 and 9.”
Poonekar said, “This year, many students bagged an A1 grade in maths and science. Concepts have been made easier by including projects and fun activities in the academics, which has led to a better understanding of subjects. They no longer have to perform under pressure, as they are now being graded. The teaching-learning process has become fun.”
At the DPS, 168 students including 73 girls, appeared for the exam. Of these 119 took the board exam and the rest opted for a school-based exam. Neelam Chakrabarty, DPS principal, said, “Children have performed better this year as they have acclamatised to the new system. In all, 47 of our students secured perfect 10 or full 10 grade points. Another 47 students secured a CGPA between 9 and 10,” she said. Some school toppers were Tanish Satoor, Bandhuli Chattopadhyay, Raya Ghosh, and Sayali Alatkar.

He said the average score this year in their school was 93.62% whereas last year it was 89%. “This means that performance has been better. Many students have bagged more marks in social science than in science,” he added.
“The average score of social science at our school this time is 93.94% and that in science is 91.64%. In the past, students would score more in science than in social studies,” said Naik, adding that from the total of 81 students, 40 were boys and 41 were girls.
