Grading · Classes IX–XII

You still read
the answer.
We do the arithmetic.

Three Periodic Tests, best two, reduced to five. Four Internal Assessment components. An eighty-mark paper. A nine-point grade. Then the same again for five subjects, and again for every child in the section. That is the part Relearns removes.

30 minutes, on your own sections, with a teacher on our team. Not a slide deck.

The maths, in full

One student. One subject. One term.

Most software tells you it “handles CBSE grading”. Here is the actual arithmetic, for Aanya Sharma, Class X-B, Physics. Change any number and the whole chain recomputes, exactly as it does inside the product.

The lowest of the three is dropped automatically. Teachers stop doing this by hand, and stop getting it wrong when a student misses PT-2 entirely.

If all 5 subjects matched
9.0 CGPA · 85.5%

CGPA is the mean grade point of the five main subjects. CGPA × 9.5 gives the indicative percentage, the figure every parent asks for at the PTM.

Nothing here is hand-entered twice. The teacher enters marks; the grade, the CGPA and the Holistic Progress Card are derived, which is why they cannot disagree with each other.

Schools that reduce Periodic Tests to 5 marks a different way, or run Multiple Assessment out of a different total, configure it once at setup. The rule is set per school, not per teacher, so two sections of the same class can never drift apart.

The nine-point scale, on one screen.

The row your student lands in stays highlighted as you change the marks above.

CBSE 9-point grading · school-based bands, Classes IX–XII
GradeMarks rangeGrade pointWhat it tells a parent
A191–10010Top band. Depth, not just recall.
A281–909Strong. Usually one or two careless losses.
B171–808Solid grasp; application questions cost marks.
B261–707Comfortable with the routine, shaky on the new.
C151–606Gaps are specific and fixable. Find them early.
C241–505Foundational chapters need re-teaching.
D33–404At the pass line. Needs a named intervention.
EBelow 33—Essential Repeat examination in that subject.

A note most vendors skip: for the Board examination itself CBSE also applies positional grading, with grades distributed across the candidates who passed rather than fixed marks bands. School-level reporting uses the absolute bands above. Relearns keeps the two apart instead of quietly averaging them together.

The screen itself

What a Tuesday evening looks like.

Forty scripts, one section. The AI has already read all of them against the key you uploaded. You are not entering marks; you are agreeing or disagreeing with them.

Where we would trust it, and where we would not.

Any vendor who says their AI grades everything well has not graded a Class X Sanskrit paper.

Trust Genuinely faster

  • One-mark and two-mark objective questions, where the key is unambiguous.
  • Numericals with a single correct final value and a stated method.
  • Fill-in-the-blanks, matching, MCQ, true/false, across forty scripts in under a minute.
  • Spotting the same wrong answer in twelve scripts, which usually means you taught it in a way that misfired.
  • Totalling, best-2-of-3, grade lookup, CGPA: arithmetic no human should still be doing.

Read it Still your judgement

  • Long-answer and value-based questions, where a student argues to the right place by an unexpected route.
  • Diagram and derivation marks, where partial credit is a professional decision.
  • Language papers: composition, comprehension inference, Hindi and Sanskrit subjective work.
  • Any script where the handwriting itself is the problem.
  • Anything a parent may contest. The name on the mark is yours, so the decision should be too.
If the mark is questioned

Every number can name its own origin.

A parent disputes a grade in March. A CBSE inspection asks how Internal Assessment was arrived at. In both cases the answer is one screen, not a cupboard. See Security & privacy for how the trail is stored.

Asked in every demo

The questions principals actually open with.

We already run an ERP for fees and attendance. Do we throw it out?

No, and you should be suspicious of anyone who says yes. Relearns does academics: marks, assessment, the Holistic Progress Card, CGPA, the parent loop. Fees, attendance, transport, admissions and payroll stay exactly where they are. Your roster syncs one way into Relearns so no office staff keys the same three hundred students in twice.

Our internet drops. What happens mid-exam-week?

The app itself loads instantly on a weak connection, and mark entry saves automatically every second or two as the teacher types, so a brief drop costs nothing already saved. Full offline entry with sync-on-reconnect is on our near-term roadmap; ask us where it stands when we talk.

Sixty teachers, most over forty-five. How long is training?

One ninety-minute session per department, run on your own sections with your own subjects loaded, plus a printed one-page card for the mark-entry screen. Teachers who can use WhatsApp can use the grading table: it is a register with two columns. Onboarding, roster import and training are in the price, not a line item.

What happens to last year's marks and our existing registers?

Your roster imports at setup, so nobody keys three hundred students in twice, and paper registers stay in the cupboard as backup. Marks start fresh from the current term; bringing last session's results in is on the roadmap. Tell us during onboarding if it matters for your school and we will say honestly where it stands.

Will an inspector accept this instead of signed registers?

Every mark carries who entered it, when, what AI proposed, what the teacher decided and why, who reconciled it and who locked the term. Sign-off is per row and the principal's lock is gated server-side on completeness, not a button that turns green early. Inspectors get one filterable screen and a print.

Can teachers grade Hindi and Sanskrit answer scripts?

Yes. Scripts, keys and rubrics handle Devanagari. On subjective language answers the AI stays what it should be, a first reader that surfaces the rubric points it matched, while the teacher reads the answer.

What does AI grading cost the school?

Rupee-denominated cost per grading run, visible to the principal, with a rolling cost-per-grade trend at admin level. There is no hidden per-seat meter and no surprise invoice. If the cost-per-grade ever drifts upwards we want the principal to see it before we do.

Bring one section. We will grade it with you.

Thirty minutes, your own paper, your own answer key, one real section loaded into a sandbox. A teacher on our team runs it: no slide deck, no discovery call before the demo.
