CBSE 12th Results 2017: Marksheets Will Not Reflect Grace Marks
- CBSE has decided not to print the awarded grace marks on the marksheets of the CBSE students who are missing the passing marks by a mark or two.
- The Board will continue to follow the moderation policy this year.
With a great relief to Class 12 students, Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided not to print the awarded grace marks on the marksheets of the CBSE students who are missing the passing marks by a mark or two.
Last month, the board announced to mention grace marks on the marksheets with its decision to do away with the moderation policy. However, after Delhi High Court's intervention, CBSE revoked its decision to notify the grace marks on the marksheets and dropped its plan to approach the Supreme Court against the verdict of Delhi High Court with the continuation to follow the moderation policy. The board will stick to its five-point moderation policy.

A senior CBSE official stated that CBSE board had come up with the decision of not mentioning the grace marks on the mark sheets as resolved earlier.
At the time of the decision, few states expressed worries with the fact that if the 12th marksheets reflected the grace marks, it would be taken as a mark of disgrace. While others argued saying that it would be unfair to the students qualifying without any extra marks.
