actually provide a proper learning
methodology that a student must follow
to understand the concept well.

would help students get a better
understanding of their bent of mind and
which subject they must choose for their
future.

attribute of humans. Grades are standards,
over which we can know how much we have grown
and how much hard work is required by us.
4- Teachers get a better idea : With this teachers get
a better understanding of the students , what they
have understood and which topics require
repetition.
5- Motivation of studying : We all
require some motivation and
encouragement to work hard and
become better at what we do, in the
case of students the grades act as a
motivation.
CONCLUSION:

A grading system in education is a system that is used


to assess the educational performance of a child
which is entirely based upon points alone. The
grading system helps in developing the evaluation
