JKBOSE releases new marking scheme for Class 11th exams
The Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) has released a new marking scheme for the Class 11th exams for the academic session 2023-24. The new scheme reduces the pass marks for most subjects from 35% to 33%.
The new scheme applies to all subjects except General English, which will still require a minimum of 33% to pass. For subjects with practical exams, students will need to score at least 36% in both theory and practicals, as well as in the aggregate.
The JKBOSE has also introduced a new provision for students who fall short of the passing marks by up to five marks in one or more subjects. These students will be awarded the required marks, up to a maximum of five, to pass the exam. However, these additional marks will not be counted towards the student’s overall aggregate.
The new marking scheme is expected to benefit students who have struggled to meet the previous pass marks. It is also expected to reduce the number of students who fail the Class 11th exams.
The JKBOSE has said that the new marking scheme is in line with the recommendations of the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT). The NCERT had recommended that states reduce the pass marks for Class 11th exams to 33% in order to improve the quality of education.
The new marking scheme has been welcomed by students and parents. However, some teachers have expressed concerns that it could lead to a decline in academic standards.
