NBSE Grading System

Nagaland Board Grades are preferred to marks as it is felt that marks awarded to a student in any subject are subjected to different kinds of errors in evaluation.

The coverage of content in the question paper, the type of questions set, their difficulty value, inter-examiner variability in the standard of marking are some of the factors that affect the reliability of marks.

Hence, it is felt that a student who scores 65 marks out of 100, maybe anywhere in a wide range of 60 to 70 (depending on the error of measurement).

The Nagaland Board has adopted the following scheme for Relative Grading:

Grade %  of  examinees Terms of performance
         A+ Top 1% Truly Outstanding
         A1 Next 5% Outstanding
         A2 Next 12% Excellent
         B1 Next 16% Very Good
         B2 Next 23% Good
         C1 Next 23% Above Average
         C2 Next 20% Average
