Modern grading frameworks, such as the GPA system and the CBSE grading system, are standardized methods of evaluating and communicating students' academic performance. These frameworks translate raw scores, marks, or achievements into a uniform scale that facilitates comparison, assessment, and progression within educational systems globally and locally. They aim to provide clarity, consistency, and transparency in academic evaluation processes.
