A few years ago, I had mined the board exam result data from both the CBSE and ICSE and written two articles describing how both the boards were manipulating marks arbitrarily and inflating both scores and pass rates. I had analyzed more than ten years of CBSE scoring data and had presented sufficient evidence to suggest that scores were being tampered. It is not necessarily good, even for those scoring very high marks, because the relative ordering of candidates is likely to be distorted in this kind of an upwards-scaling process done improperly - which could even bring down your percentile ranking - which now determines admission to a variety of tech colleges.

Usually, the histogram of scores taken by a large number of students is expected to approximately resemble a bell curve. This isn't to suggest that it will be a perfect normalpoisson distribution

It is okay if the exam board makes slight changes to the raw score assigned by a script-marker to a candidate, in a particular subject. 

Slight upscaling or downscaling of marks is fine - to take into account the fact that a question paper might be significantly harder than the previous years, or the fact, that some script-markers might be more strict/liberal than the rest - which is why slight changes are permissible. 

Fitting the scores to a standardized curve is fine as well. But, what the scoring histograms suggest, is not minor or marginal changes, but gross distortions to the original scores - and a blatant misreporting of data, by inflation of pass-rates. Also, the score distributions are changing year to year, which reduces the reliability and repeatability of these examinations.  

This holds true for 2015 data as well. That the board has offered no explanation despite mass media coverage of the issue in the past, given an insight into the level of competence and accountability of those who run an important exam board.

I analyzed data for approximately 68k students out the the 71.5k candidates who took the ISC-2015 examinations.

Attached are the histograms for Mathematics, Computers and English respectively.

Almost everyone has passed in English. 

In the Mathematics examination, no one has scored between 27 and 40 - clearly the board has been very generous and has given as much as 12-13 grace marks.
