also included senior category
students (who were excluded
last year). A committee was
set up to look into the policy
and decide whether to do
away with the grace marks or
reduce them.
A senior education official
said: After much discussion
and debate, we have decided
that it would be unfair for
sports students not to get this
benefit, especially since the
students of the previous batch
availed of its advantage. Once
again this year, 25 additional
marks will be given to stu-
dents excelling in sports.
However, critics of the pol-
icy voiced their concern that
these additional marks give
an unfair advantage to a few
students over others. The

Last year, a group of par-
ents of ICSE students had
moved the Bombay high court
against the policy, which ben-
efited only state board stu-
dents. The high court had
moved in their favour and the
policy was extended to stu-
dents from other boards too.
However, the policy stated
that the grace marks were ap-
plicable only for academic
year 2010-11.
Therefore, the state gov-
ernment is drafting a similar
resolution that will extend the
benefit of grace marks to stu-
dents from all other boards for
2011-12.
K Parab, under secretary,
state government, said: We
have extended the sports quo-
ta and grace marks for all
sports students this year, in-
cluding senior category and
open category students. We
are now deliberating whether
to continue with these bene-
fits for next academic year
2011-12 as well.

Indian Readership Survey
The Indian Readership Survey (IRS) is the largest con-
tinuous readership research study in the world with an
annual sample size exceeding 2.56 lakh (256,000) re-
spondents. IRS collects a comprehensive range of demo-
graphic information and provides extensive coverage of
consumer and product categories, including cars, house-
hold appliances, household durables, household care and
personal care products, food and beverages, nance and
holidays.[1] IRS is not restricted to survey of readership
alone but is synonymous with both readership & con-
sumption across various FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer
Goods) products throughout India.[2] IRS covers infor-
mation on over 100 product categories. IRS is conducted
by MRUC (Media Research Users Council) and RSCI
(Readership Studies Council of India).[3]
1 Evolution
IRS was launched in the year 1995 with an objective of
setting an industry standard for readership & other media
measurement, & to provide insights on media & product
consumption as well as consumer behavior patterns. In
the year 1995-96, 23 Metro Reports were released fol-
lowed by the All India Report consisting of urban and ru-
ral data. Simultaneously a software programme was de-
veloped to not just enable the optimum use of raw data
but to also carry out multi media planning which provided
a common basis of media evaluation.Over the years IRS
has evolved to be very progressive, covering a broad spec- 2.2 Universe projection and weightlifting
trum of categories from Media data, Indian Demograph-
ics, Indian Market, Product Proles, to the recently de-
veloped Telecom Report, TV Report, and IRS Country-
side. Apart from a range of products oered new changes
have been introduced in the method of classication of
sub regions from SCRs to ISDs, which is a more mi-
croscopic view of the consumer prole based on the so-
ciocultural ethnicity. From a users perspective, a few
introductions in the form of participative sampling, cus-
tomized queries have been introduced.Sub Metro level re-
porting for a better understanding of the consumer behav-
ior patterns across dierent zones in the Metros & Edi-
tion wise reporting is the other recent introduction.[4]
2 Methodology
IRS covers nearly 70 cities, 1178 towns and 2894 villages
with the coverage being reviewed before the start of every
round. The universe for IRS has been dened as the total
resident urban and rural population of India aged 12 years
and over. The survey excludes the o-shore territories
such as Lakshadweep and Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
North Eastern states (excluding Assam) and Jammu and
Kashmir (excluding Srinagar) are also excluded from the
survey.[5]
2.1 Sampling
The annual sample spread exceeds 2.56 lakh
(256,000) respondents with continuous eldwork
spread across 10 months of the year
Sample allocated proportionate to 12 years+ Uni-
verse of a geographic unit
More than 1 Lakh towns are sampled
All publication towns and districts are sampled in
the four rounds
Remaining towns and non-publication districts are
randomly sampled
Rural Sampling: Once a district is selected, 2
Talukas from the district are randomly sampled
The IRS data is weighted to the census universe
Since the Census is conducted every ten years, the
estimated population for any given date is calcu-
lated by using the growth rate in between two census
points.
Projection of Universe = the midpoint date of the
Fieldwork period.
E.g. for FW period Jan to December the Population
of India is projected to June using CDGR. (Cumu-
lative Daily Growth Rate) Universe projections of
over 1000 sub units is accrued to arrive at the All
India Universe.
Each weighting unit is divided into a number of
weighting cells to create a weighting matrix for pro-
jecting the data.
