The moderation policy says extra marks will be given over any of the following factors:
- If students found it difficult to solve a question due to ambiguities/misinterpretation of a question
- If a particular set of question papers had tougher questions than others
- To maintain parity of pass percentage of students in the current year compared to previous examinations. This parity is seen for individual subjects and overall percentages
- To bring parity keeping the subjectivity involved in the evaluation process
- To compensate for variations and to bring uniformity in the evaluation process.
