Analysis of Exertion with Relative Grading Mechanism in Academics Using Computational Technique

Evaluation process is an integral part of academic system in order to monitor the performance of students from many perspectives. Since, recent past lots of methodological changes has been taken places in evaluation process from traditional one. Many experts from concerned domain claims the superiority of one method over other but still dilemma continue with reference to optimum or appropriate method. In this connection even very recently being used to a maximum extent in Indian context too is the “Grade Method”. However, even “Grade Method” is also not completely free from certain controversies. That is, though grades were initially meant to serve various pedagogical purposes, grading systems remain controversial and hotly debated when those doesn’t give recompensing results. Some argued that grades are psychologically harmful. Thus, given certain limitations of existing methods in some respect, the current study has been undertaken in order to address few issues associated with minimum passing grade and cut-off mark for highest grade - resulting out of relative grading, Therefore, in this article, through mathematical computation we propose acceptable ranges for the parameters mean and standard deviation-respectively to have appropriate mechanism and hence can make evaluation process more effective and applicable in various conditions.
