The Union ministry of human resource development (HRD) will curb the "malpractice of spiking of marks" and implement a more scientific moderation policy from 2018. The HRD ministry has set up an inter-board working group (IBWG), comprising eight boards, to work out the details for stopping of moderation and upward revision, or spiking, of marks.
IBWG will deliberate regularly and work out a model for all boards to follow.
All boards will also move towards adopting a common core curriculum, the grace marks policy is to be uploaded on websites, and marks and grades for extracurricular subjects are to be given separately. The plan is also to share question papers (with CBSE) to bring about uniformity in assessment. It has also been decided that CBSE will share question papers with states that use NCERT books 'so that there is uniformity across all states in difficulty levels of questions and in the subsequent evaluations'.
