CBSE and UP Board Implement Step Marking to Enhance Fairness in Exams

Ahead of ongoing board exams, both CBSE and UP Board have implemented step marking in Mathematics and Science, awarding partial credit for each correct step even if the final answer is incorrect. CBSE emphasizes valid methods and neat presentation without extra marks for handwriting, while UP Board directs leniency on language errors outside language subjects and stresses fair, thorough evaluation. These measures aim to align with educational reforms and ensure transparency and accuracy in student assessment.
