Performance measures of students in examinations: A stochastic approach

Data on secondary and higher secondary examination (science stream) results from tripura (north-east india) schools are analyzed to measure the performance of students based on tests and also the performance measures of schools based on final results and continuous assessment processes are obtained. the result variation in terms of grade points in the secondary and higher secondary examinations are analysed using different sets of performance measures. the transition probabilities from one grade to another grade are calculated for individual students. the performance measures defined for students as well as for different categories are obtained numerically from real life data.
