a) As this trend continued across various school boards 100% cut-offs stopped raising eyebrows. Now cut-offs even soar ‘beyond’ 100%.

c) This policy means that upon complaints that a question paper is too difficult, the board recommends extra marks for examinees.
d) In 2011, a Delhi University college sparked a major outcry when it set a 100% cut-off for a course.
e) What promises welcome relief from this unsustainably feverish trend is CBSE and other school boards’ effort to end the marks moderation policy, which has inflated board exam results without a corresponding gain in learning.
