Standards-Based Grading System Vs. Traditional Grading System

Posted on April 9, 2022July 11, 2025 by Hemant Mahajan

Traditional grading approach only focuses on marks and goals, while standards-based grading system gives due importance to the learning progress. In a way, standards-based grading does not bind a student to show progress in a stipulated time and gain good grades. It accepts the uniqueness of each student and hand-holds them to achieve learning goals rather than grades. Here is what is standards-based grading system and how it is different from the traditional method of grading.

What is a standards-based grading system?

Contrary to the traditional grading system, a standards-based grading system focus on measuring a student’s understanding by setting learning targets and testing the demonstration of their learning, i.e., Standards.

The standards range from “below requirement’ to ‘mastery’, which is why it is also known as a mastery-based education system. As per a student’s performance throughout the academic year, standards can change for better or for worse. The grading system focuses on students’ learning progress and makes sure the educator, and parents can communicate about the student’s learning progress.

Standards-based grading system widens the spectrum of assessing a student, as it largely focuses on the learning progress, and its growth and declines to help students.

Key Differences between Standards-based Grading System and Traditional Grading System

S.no	Standards-based Grading System	Traditional Grading System
1	Setting learning targets to assess student’s progress.	Relies on set grades/ percentages for assessments.
2	Assessment criteria given to students throughout the academic year decide is it has passed or failed.	Grades and percentages achieved by the overall assessment by a student decide if it has passed or failed.
3	Students get multiple opportunities to improve their learning strategy, and only the latest assessments are used for grading for accuracy.	Students are assessed holistically by assignment of a single grade at the end of the term, based on theoretical assessment.
4	Students get to know their strengths and weaknesses and thrive for better performance.	Students do not get a scope of improvement as a single grade summing their performance is implicit in their improvement areas.

Why is standards-based grading a better assessment method?

A standards-based grading system is a process-driven approach toward assessment rather than result-driven. The system does not bind a student to a fixed standard of intelligence and performance but rather allows them to explore their own uniqueness. Here are some other reasons, why we believe a standards-based grading system is a better method:

It helps educators provide detailed feedback to the students on their learning progress. This means students get more clarity on the areas they have mastered and move on to the areas where they need to make an improvement. With detailed feedback, students’ outcomes improve remarkably.
Students and parents find it difficult to understand the grading system. It makes it hard for them to understand what factors have been taken into account, to sum up, this grade. Standards-based grading thus helps a student to know where they have gone wrong and what needs to be improved. They take ownership of their studies and work closely with teachers and guides to achieve their goals.
Standards-based learning provides an opportunity for a personalized learning experience. They can be assigned tasks and work based on their mastery level, rather than fit in a fixed box of measurement in a stipulated time.
The system tests more than just the memory of a student. It challenges their existing knowledge and increases curiosity in students to learn more as the focus is on mastering something, rather than achieving a grade.

How does a standards-based grading system help students?

The standards-based grading is beneficial for students in all educational institutions. Here are a few benefits of it:

Higher engagement and motivation in students towards learning as the assessment is performance-based rather than percentage-based.
Focus on mastering a concept than achieving grades for the sake of passing.
Testing their knowledge and skills in real-life. It gives them a healthy approach to learning and keeps them motivated for lifelong learning.
Gives students more control over their learning pace or have an idea regarding the areas on which they need to work. Students become an active part of their learning process, track their progress, and target achievement, increasing student outcomes.

How does the Standards-based grading system benefit teachers/educators?

Here are a few benefits it provides to the teachers/educators:

This increases the scope for teachers to focus on the student progress rather than holistic assessment. Teachers focus on teaching rather than grading.
Teachers work towards personalizing lessons to help students better and improve mastery of the subject. Personalized lesson planning is beneficial in improving the quality of education.
Increases the room for creative teaching methods and resources. It also, helps teachers to personalize the learning experiences to meet the needs of a student.
Gives more understanding of a student’s learning level, areas of excellence, and areas of improvement.

This was everything about the standards-based grading system.

A Guide To Choice Based Credit System

Posted on February 16, 2021July 16, 2025 by Hemant Mahajan

The education ecosystem is changing rapidly, there are various changes and one of them includes a Choice Based Credit System (CBCS). This grading system changes the traditional teaching-learning system in India.

To maximize skill-based education & enhance student learning outcomes in terms of their grades as well as skills, the National Education Policy has made some crucial changes in the traditional teaching-learning system in India. The right to choose subjects & the multidisciplinary education approach are the best takeaways.

Do you know what a choice-based credit system is and how it can help higher education institutions? Let’s discuss it in this blog:

What is a Choice-Based Credit System?

The CBCS is a University Grants Commission (UGC) initiative and promotes the liberalization of the current conventional higher education models. With a student-based approach to learning or acquiring higher education, the CNCS allows students or learners the flexibility to choose their course from a list of elective, core, and soft skill courses.

A credit system for higher education measures different parameters like –

Student performance
Learning outcomes
Entrepreneurship skills
Contact hours
Innovation
Creativity & talent

UGC has categorized the groups as

Core Course – Core courses are there every semester and students have to compulsorily study the core or the main subject to meet the requirement of the program of that particular discipline.
Elective Course – Here, the student can choose any paper

Discipline-Specific Elective Course
Generic Elective
Project
Ability Enhancement Courses
Skill Enhancement Courses

Foundation Course

Compulsory Foundation
Elective Foundation
CBCS moves away from numerical marking to grading semester-wise with two semesters in a year where students’ performances are evaluated and grading is done subject-wise.
The CBCS works in compliance with other grading systems of institutes, all over the world.
Different evaluation methods are followed, based on the suitability of the course approved by various legislative bodies.
UGC recommends Letter Grades and Point Grade Systems to be applied
Letter Grades are based on a student’s marks or percentage from his/her course
Grade Point Systems are where marks are converted into grades based upon a fixed period.

What are the Features of CBCS?

Having multiple features of the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS), let’s discuss a few of them:

It is one of the best features as credits can be transferred if the student changes his/her branch of study
It has changed numerical marking to grading
It positively stigmatized the criteria of failing students
It facilitates student mobility
It provides potential assess to faculty members for student’s performance
It promotes easy course evaluation and is accessed to provide an effective and balanced result.

How Does CBCS Work?

The CBCS in higher education works on the simple principle of the choice being in students’ hands. Higher education institutions provide subject options to students, with a CBCS, students can choose subjects according to their choices and the credits needed for a particular semester.

The students can attend any of the needed classes obtaining credits to pass any semester.

A CBCS owns the following elements:

Semesters

In any educational institution, assessments are done semester-wise. A student progresses based on the courses taken rather than time like three years for science, arts, commerce, or four years for engineering, etc. The CBCS format provides flexibility in creating the curriculum and assigning credits based on the course section and patterns of learning and teaching.

Credit system

Each course is assigned with a fixed credit. When a student passes a course, he gets the recognition of credit which is based on a course. If a student enrolls in a single course in a semester, he does not have to repeat that course later.

Credit transfer

There are various ways for a student to cope with the study load and with a CBCS pattern he owns the freedom to study fewer courses, earn fewer credits and compensate for the next semester.

Comprehensive continuous assessment

It provides a continuous evaluation of the student to the faculty members and also to the student himself.

Grading

CBCS includes grading in a 10-point grading system.

It includes

O (Outstanding): 10

A+ (Excellent):9

A (Very Good): 8

B+ (Good): 7

B (Above Average): 6

C (Average): 5

P (Pass): 4

F (Fail): 0

Ab (Absent): 0

Core Advantages of CBCS that Academia Modules Includes:

The student has a choice of inter/multidisciplinary courses:

With Academia, the students can select their inter/multidisciplinary courses in just a few clicks using the program and courses modules. Academia provides easier access to all stakeholders in the institutions starting from the faculty members, students, and parents for selecting, scheduling and finalizing the courses and subjects likewise.

It promotes group work, research, examination, and assignments

Using Academia modules like examination, assignments, and others, institutions get the authority to work effectively, research, and manage examination-related tasks and assignments, and more easily and efficiently at all levels like faculty members, students, and parents.

Students progress at their pace

Students are the most important stakeholders of any institution, it is important to provide them with the best and Academia provides them with all the student databases provisioning, storing, and organizing all the student-related data and information. It can easily access, edit, or update data if needed.

Conclusion

The implementation of the student-centric CBCS system is beneficial for institutes. Academia ERP, which provides the most reliable and trusted solutions to educational institutes, has inbuilt functionality to support the rollout of the CBCS for educational campuses.

5 Step Process to Implement OBE In Your Academic Institution

Posted on September 21, 2020July 16, 2025 by Hemant Mahajan

Outcome-based education or OBE is the latest development in the education industry. It is a type of education delivery model that focuses on mapping, measuring, and achieving pre-determined educational goals. It prioritizes student learning and development by nurturing the pre-existing skills in students to help them grow in their professional and personal life.

Clearly, it is a major leap from the existing education delivery model where a lot of time and effort is spent on scoring good marks in examinations rather than skill development and knowledge acquisition. OBE thus can help you change that, and provide a definite solution for the increasing problems such as unemployment, skill alignment as per the global market standards, and more.

If you are thinking about implementing OBE in your education institute, here are some tips to successfully implement it, and ensure better student outcomes.

Outcome-based Education Process – Step By Step OBE Implementation

Goal Setting

First and foremost, it is imperative to set short-term and long-term goals for individual students in terms of learning outcomes, personal growth, skill development, and institute overall performance. Institutes can follow the given steps to define vision and mission department-wise.

Start by brainstorming with experts and experienced faculty of various departments
Speak with industry professionals and alumni batches
Analyse the opinion and define a solid plan of action

Once the vision and mission are clear, the institute needs to focus on teaching and learning processes.

Program and Education Objective and Program Outcomes

Program Educational Objectives help teachers define the expected outcomes for the students once they graduate, this includes academic and behavioral aspects both that are absolutely necessary to excel in their career.

The vision and mission set in the first step should be central to the action plan.
Experienced faculty members and the heads of various departments must draft and share it across their respective departments.
The draft and processes need to be implemented and discussed thoroughly for gaining the approval of authorities. You can iterate the draft to prepare a final draft.
Once the final draft is ready after taking all the considerations of people involved in the implementation process, it is presented to Program Assessment Committee so that it can further be forwarded to Departmental Advisory Board.
The Departmental Advisory Board reviews the points mentioned in the draft and sends them to the Board of Studies & Academic Council for final approval. Once the approval comes in, the draft is taken as a guide to design a fresh curriculum for the students to grow personally and professionally.
Institutions need to analyze the student learning outcomes periodically to identify the learning gaps and rectify them. It is usually focused on Professional Skill Development, Problem-Solving Skills, Industry-Specific Skill Development & Creative Enhancement.

Establishing Program Outcomes

POs or Program Outcomes are defined as the objective achieved at the end of the specialization or discipline. These attributes are defined while a student is undergoing education and determined when they get a degree.

Here is a step-by-step approach to establishing the POs for the institution.

The Program Coordinator consults with the senior faculty to prepare a draft for program outcomes.
The Coordinator speaks with alumni, industry experts, and various employers to understand the skill requirement and new trends in the industry. On analyzing the views, a synthesized version of the draft is created and sent to the Program Assessment Committee.
The Program Assessment Committee reviews the draft and sends it to the Department of Advisory Board to get the final approval from them.
Department Advisory Board makes the final decision by moderating the draft.

12 Graduate attributes mentioned By the National Accreditation Board In Their Guidelines to attain POs successfully
PO1	Knowledge	PO7	Environment
PO2	Problem Analysis Capability	PO8	Ethics of Individuals
PO3	Development & Designing of System	PO9	Teamwork & Individual Contribution
PO4	Analyze & Solve Complex Problems	PO10	Communication
PO5	Use of Latest Tools & Devices	PO11	Finance & Management of Project
PO6	Society’s Responsibilities	PO12	Life-long Learner

Establishing the Course Outcomes

Course Outcomes are different than Program Outcomes. The objective of CO or Course Outcome is to define the objectives that are achieved at the end of a semester/year. It is basically the outcome that is achieved in theory and practical lessons concluded at the end of the year or semester.

CO-PO Mapping Process

To thoroughly analyze if a student has successfully achieved the goals set at the beginning of the process, it is important to map Course Outcomes with Program Outcomes. To do that, follow these steps:

Specify and obtain the course outcomes
Map COs with POs
Set an appropriate weightage for the CO assessment
Measure the COs through assessment given to students
COs & POs attainment calculation needs to be done.

Concluding

Outcome-based Education can help you stand out in the education market and offer a quality education. But for that to happen you must have a great implementation strategy on your hands. Use the above-mentioned steps to achieve successful implementation of OBE. To assist you in your course toward redefining education consider an ERP solution that offers process streamlining, simplified processes, better results, easy CO-PO mapping, and more.

5 reasons for student attrition and how to address it

Posted on November 13, 2019July 16, 2025 by Hemant Mahajan

Whether it’s a college, a schools or a training centre, there are some very common triggers that lead to students dropping out of institutions. Most of these issues can come from a personal space or from the educational system itself. If these issues are not addressed properly by campus management at the right time, they can decrease student retention and greatly affect overall educational efforts of the institution.

Here are some stats related to the issue:

In the USA around 1.2 million students dropout of high school annually, where the graduation rank is 19th globally. In India, out of 100 students only 70 students reach senior secondary. The enrollment rate in India is 23%, in the USA 87%, and 39% in the UK.

The reason for dropout and low student retention in institutions are many, but there are some major issues that should be addressed as soon as possible.

Financial problems

It is one of the primary reasons for student attrition. Not being able to afford the cost of higher education or degree, family’s week financial status, the burden of responsibilities, etc. are the reasons that make students leave college and go for a job.

One grave challenge in this scenario is the student loan. In America student loan is one of the major causes of concern. According to a study by Margertia McNealin, in the US, over 40% of students borrowers are not able to pay their loans and that results in pushing them out of school.

Less quality time with educators

The low student-teacher ratio, especially in higher education is a prevalent problem in India. The current ratio is 24:1, lower than Brazil, China, Canada and Russia.

If students do not get proper guidance & counseling by educators, they may be unable to share and express their problems, leading to disinterest and eventually leaving the school.

For all levels of educational institutes, teacher-student quality time is very important. It helps teachers to understand students, his/her weaknesses and strengths, the reason behind the performance, his/her expectations from the institute, etc. It also helps students understand themselves better.

De-motivating institute environment

Lack of student-engagement activity, carelessness towards student attendance, outdated syllabus, orthodox teaching methods are some of the examples which lead to a demotivating institute environment.

Boredom’ is one reason students leave classes and eventually institutes.

According to a study by GradNation.org that surveyed the top reasons for dropping school, some of them show a significant trend from the classroom environment:

No one cared if I attended.
Teacher and school problems.
School environment

Poor administrative management

Institute management plays an important role in students’ academic journey. Ease of documentation processes, on-time access to information, better connectivity between management and students brings a positive perspective towards the institute.

However, slow document processing, miss-communication between students and staff, loss of data, etc. are still ongoing problems in this sector.

Lack of student support

Student support is an important factor that parents and students often skip checking during admissions, and institutes also do not give much emphasis on.

Higher studies are tough and along with other reasons, poor student support and de-personalized learning are also responsible for high dropout rates.

What are the measures to minimize student attrition from institutions?

If institutes can address and resolve the above-mentioned issues on time, it can impact positively on student retention and decrease drop out rates. For example, institutes can maintain a positive environment for students, schedule appropriate sessions for a student-teacher engagement, introduce proper administrative management, etc.

Online learning is leading to a decentralized education system with 24*7 access to educators & other resources. It is becoming a major trend in the education sector as it offers cheaper yet better access to books i.e. e-books, and cloud solutions to store academic data.

Also, institutes can take the help of technologies for a better institute management system, that can surely improve academic operations, increase teacher involvement, and ensure student success.

Check out technology trends in the education sector and learn how a college management system can benefit an institution.

Improve your institute’s security system via Blockchain Technology

Posted on March 26, 2019July 15, 2025 by Hemant Mahajan

A few decades ago, people used to maintain ledger books for accounting. However, this is changing rapidly in the world of digital technology. Today, companies across the globe are choosing blockchain technologies that improve, secures and verifies a transaction or review the ownership of a digital asset in public.

The functionality is essentially like a big book added and enclosed, where you can write new information with new information. However, the oldest data stored in blocks cannot be changed. Use cryptography to mark the time and link the contents of the newly added block to each previous block.

In other words, instead of uploading/downloading data like other systems to a cloud server or storing it in a single place, the blockchain divides everything into smaller parts. These mini-pieces are then distributed on the computer network. The blockchain is a digitally encrypted large book with no central point. Each node has a complete copy of this protocol so that failures in one or more modes do not cause data loss.

For educational institutions and their safety systems, blockchain offer many benefits and can improve the safety of these institutes.

1) Infrastructure security

Blockchain technologies improve institutions safety systems by improving their infrastructure security. Today, institutes around the world are adding cameras to their buildings and playgrounds. By using a security blockchain that provides tamper-proof accounting books, institutes can share security data across large device networks.

2) Institutes Data and Confidentiality

Although blockchain was originally created using a public distribution model and without special access controls, many blockchain implementations are concerned with privacy, an important element in the educational institute.

Blockchain technologies improve security systems in institutes where data can be easily manipulated. However, when encrypted with blockchain data, this data is inaccessible to unauthorized persons. Thus, protecting student data such as names, interest rate details, addresses, etc.

3) Secure communication between parents and institutes

Blockchain improves the safety of the education system to ensure the confidentiality of information exchanged by Institute authorities or parents and faculties in discussion forums, messaging applications, and social networks. While other news media provide a continuous chain of encryption blocks, they can secure metadata of users who are randomly distributed in a ledger that cannot be retrieved at a single point so that it becomes impenetrable for pirates.

4) Secure storage on the cloud

With the advent of e-learning and cloud computing, students and educational institutions now store more data online. Blockchain technology helps to improve the safety of this cloud memory with tamper-proof encrypted records that protect data and ensure that these not be changed without permission.

5)Validation of the training titles

Reviewing the educational attainment of potential higher education students can be time-consuming, as post-diploma programs require validation of certificates, which is again a slow and complex process.

Institutes using Blockchain technology can offer their students a degree through a mobile app, and students can easily share their credentials with others. Additionally, because of the security of Blockchain encryption, you cannot change your certificates. This is an effective tool against the growing trend of counterfeiting.

Due to its security features, the industry is investing in the blockchain technology. Even educational institutions are rapidly using blockchain technology to benefit themselves from robust NextGen technology.

Student Delight – Success Mantra for an Educational Institution

Posted on February 26, 2018July 15, 2025 by Hemant Mahajan

University, School, College, or Training Institute includes thousands of students, multiple campuses, and programs as their main stakeholders. Along with all these, parents, the secondary clients, who may not be affected directly but are a useful asset to spread positive word of mouth. Like every other company, an educational institution would also want their clients to feel delighted and a good brand name to be established in the community.

Students are considered the biggest stakeholders of any educational institution and in today’s times, institutions must opt for digital transformation that can help strive day to day needs.

It is high time to decipher the old manual interventions. We can start by finding what a student wants. His needs and wants can be – Good quality of education and exposure, smooth transition and flow of all processes during the complete student life cycle, and finally a good job offer

Automation and streamlining of all the processes with the respect to students can address this concern. A student information system can be the best solution to it. Let’s discuss how it can help educational institutions in the best way.

A Student Information System can ease out student life cycle in the following ways:

Easy Teaching and Learning

In modern times, students only want to focus on their education instead of getting engaged in other administrative and academic activities. A student information system can help them with inefficient learning, providing an easier version of study from faculty and other modes. Easy accessibility to study material anywhere and anytime using the portal or mobile application.

Simple Process for Assignment Management

Assignments also play an important role in any student’s progress, and it becomes quite difficult to manage the completely hectic process of approval, submission, and a lot of others in manual intervention. A highly configured SIS makes the whole assignment process easy and convenient. It provides faculty with a lot of different assignments to students and it even helps students to submit the assignments on the given deadline. The best part is notifying students and faculty members of the due dates.

Flexible Attendance Process

Attendance tracking is also one of the major elements in any educational institution which becomes a bit difficult and lengthy to analyze in a manual process. A Student Information System provides systematic attendance management with biometric integration and a system through which attendance tracking is easy for faculty members, students, and even parents.

Quick Fee and Payment processing

The fee and payment process is one of the most important methods of any institution, there are multiple fee structures, various departments, and n-numbers of students; it becomes difficult to manage it manually. It’s an art to keep track of everything and be able to access the exact details whenever there is a need. A student information system helps in managing each fee-related transaction and manages all the tasks effectively and efficiently making it a simple, convenient, and easy process. It avails e-payments from their portals, quick, and easy.

Easy result Generation and announcement

Students always get anxious on their result declaration day, it even becomes difficult when they need to stand in a long queue to check their results. An SIS having the best examination management system provides the completion of all the examination-related tasks from hall ticket distribution to result in declaration using the portal and message notifications.

Grievance Management

There are multitudes of tasks associated with different stakeholders like faculty, staff, admin, and students. There are various situations in which students find something dissatisfied with the given studies, and academic and administrative tasks. So institutions must adopt technologies like SIS like Grievance Management System that can help students submit their grievances, complaints, dissatisfaction, feedback, and any other related query.

Administration Management

An education institution involves various administrative tasks like a library, hostel, transport, and many more. Manual intervention of these tasks takes huge time, long queues, long involvement, and more. Automation of these tasks through a Student Information System provides a systematic flow of information providing all the information accessible through a single system to faculty, students, parents, and higher authorities.

Placements

Placement is the only term that students worry about the most, they always want a university or institution that can help them in finding a job and getting perfectly placed there. A Student Information System helps educational institutions and students apply and find a job.

Upcoming Events Information

Students always find it difficult to remember the time, dates, and initial details for any event. Notifications on the notice board and regular manual circulation are not enough to keep the exact information in the brain. It eases it out, a student information system helps educational institutions by providing easy notifications to students as and when needed through the mobile application and the portal easing out all the things for modern students.

Conclusion

So which method are you ever using to delight your students?

Role of an ERP in Making Educational Institutions Future-Ready

Posted on November 20, 2017July 15, 2025 by Hemant Mahajan

The challenges faced by modern-day institutes are very different from the challenges faced by the education institute a decade ago. The world never shut down as it did 3 years ago and COVID-19 put the education sector in a challenging position to continue its duties of providing knowledge and skills to the world.

This led to a rise of education technologies and institutes no matter the size and type of adopted the specific technologies built for the education industry. Gradually but eventually, the education sector understood the importance of going tech-borne. They got a chance to explore technology to combat their long-existing issues and challenges and how they can be future-ready.

Today, they are reinventing themselves with technology and are using software to automate their academic and administrative operations to focus on their core responsibilities. They are using data to take student-centric decisions. They are reducing their dependency on human resources and the list of the wonders goes on and on.

Role of ERP in making education institutes future-ready

Improved accessibility

Data is the fuel on which every industry is thriving. Simply put, you can see a massive difference in your staff productivity just by improving the accessibility of data. Using insights they can take faster decisions for improved student experience and higher retention.
