For evaluating students in exams
TAMBARAM: The system of assessing students’ performance
in examinations though grading method will replace the conventional
system of allotting marks in colleges across the State from
the 2008–2009 academic year, K. Ganesan, Higher Education
Secretary, said on Tuesday. He said the grading method would
be applicable to all arts and sciences and technical institutions.

certain problems when they went abroad for employment and higher
studies, he said, while pointing out that grading method was
followed the world over.

are in the same levels and grading method would eliminate that,
Mr. Ganesan said.

their academic days and also after getting a job.
