Introduction

Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation was formulated by Education Minister, Kapil Sibal to decrease the accumulated stress of board exams on the students and to introduce a more uniform and comprehensive pattern in education for the children all over the nation.

CCE helps in improving student’s performance by identifying his/her learning difficulties at regular time intervals right from the beginning of the academic session and employing suitable remedial measures for enhancing their learning performance.

The scheme of continuous and comprehensive evaluation has inbuilt flexibility for schools to plan their own academic schedules as per specified guidelines on CCE.

New Scheme Of Evaluation

As a part of this new system, student's marks will be replaced by grades which will be evaluated through a series of curricular and extra-curricular evaluations along with academics. The aim is to reduce the workload on students and to improve the overall skill and ability of the student by means of evaluation of other activities. Grades are awarded to students based on work experience skills, dexterity, innovation, steadiness, teamwork, public speaking, behavior, etc. to evaluate and present an overall measure of the student's ability. This helps the students who are not good in academics to show their talent in other fields such as arts, humanities, sports, music, athletics, etc. This is a new term to assess all round development of a child, irrespective of individual differences.

Marks And Grades

This also has its own demerits;a child with 92 marks will get the same grade as the child with 99 marks and their talents cannot be recognized by anyone else other than their close ones.and with this system students find it difficult to study many chapters because of its so called semester system and engages the student mostly in projects than studying.CCE now makes the student to be a coward rather than letting them face board exams.More than 60% of the students were afraid to take board exams.But what will they do if they go for University Examinations.The grading system is- 45.5-50.0=A1 40.5-45.4=A2 35.5-40.4=B1 30.5-35.4=B2 25.5-30.4=C1 20.5-25.4=C2 15.5-20.4=D 10.5-15.4=E1 0.0-10.4=E2

Other Provisions

  • The assessment has been made easy by splitting up the whole year into 2 semesters.
  • After completing a semester, a test called 'SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT' is held by C.B.S.E. directly (90marks for IX and 80marks for X).
  • According to the notified scheme, every aspcet of extra-curricular activities like sports, club activities are given prior importance.
