The average marks scored in the CBSE Class 12 result 2017 is expected to dip between 6 and 10 per cent. This is owing to the decision by the board not to moderate or standardise CBSE's terms for inflating marks. It may be recalled that the CBSE on April 24 had called for a meeting of school board and decided not to increase marks through moderation. In 2016 the pass percentage for CBSE was at an all time high of 83.05 per cent of which 80,000 students had secured 90 per cent and above.

The average drop is expected to be anything between 6 and 10 per cent and would be different for different subjects. The dip is marks is expected to be both aggregate and subject wise.

In the past the CBSE has been inflating marks. In 2016, the CBSE had given at least 16 marks in the Class 12 mathematics exam in the all India set of papers and 15 marks in Delhi set during the process of standardisation. Marks had been standardised by nearly 10 per cent in nine subjects. This inflated the marks by 16.
