WHY CONTINUOUS COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION

External Examinations are largely inappropriate for the knowledge society of the
21st century and its need for innovative problem solvers

Evaluation of Scholastic learning only on marks. Ability of child not evaluated. Limited Techniques of Evaluation do not identify learners level of attainment. Resulting in Pass/Fail. Causing frustration and humiliation .

SCHEME OF GRADING SCHOLASTIC & CO- SCHOLASTIC

The

Board has already in A phased manner introduced the grading system based on absolute marks up to class VIII.
CBSE

has decided to introduce the following GRADING SYSTEM.

GRADING SYSTEM for SCHOLASTIC -A

MARKS POINT 91100 10 8190 9 7180 8 6170 7 5160 6 GRADE A1 A2 B1 B2 C1 GRADE

Operational Modalities 1

Grades on a 9 point scale will be awarded. Performance will be assessed using conventional numerical marking and same will be converted into grades. The CBSE will issue a statement of Subject wise performance i.e. Grade Sheet (NO MARKS) for class X students studying in secondary schools In case a student leaves the CBSE system after having completed the Final Formative and Summative Assessments in the school he / she will be allowed to appear for the Boards (pen paper / online) EXTERNAL EXAMINATION. Further, for those students who wish to assess themselves, after having given the final Summative Assessment in the school, an ON DEMAND PROFICIENCY TEST is available online which is different from the EXTERNAL EXAMINATION conducted by the board.

Operational Modalities 2

The CCE card will apply throughout the CBSE schools in the country for admission to class XI. In addition, schools can have their own criteria. Students will only be promoted on the basis of both Formative and Summative Assessments both of which are mandatory. Percentile Rank will be given on demand by the CBSE for the students who appear in the external examination conducted by the Board

What is Percentile Ranking ?

Percentile A percentile rank is the percentage of scores that fall below a given score. To find the percentile rank of a score x, out of a set of n scores, where x is not included, use. LETS TAKE AN EXAMPLE

NO. OF STUDENTS IN A CLASS= 40 SCORE OF STUDENT A= 80% NO. OF STUDENTS BELOW HIM= 22 PERCENTILE RANKING OF STUDENT A
NO. OF STUDENTS BELOW (A) TOTAL NUMBER OF STUDENTS

X 100

22 40

X 100 = 55 PERCENTILE RANK

GRADING SYSTEM
ADVANTAGE S

Minimize misclassification of students on the basis of marks.

Eliminate

unhealthy cut competition among high achievers.

Reduce

throat

societal pressure and provide the learner with more flexibility.

Lead

to a better learning environment.

Handout Answers Deconstructing the Circular No. 39-40 Answers

1.

CCE will cover the scholastic and co scholastic areas of school education. The two types of assessment referred to in the circular are formative and summative. The periodicity of the two types of assessment are four and twice a year respectively. Formative Assessment totals to 40% weightage. Summative Assessment totals to 60% weightage. There are nine grades in Part A of Scholastic assessment and Part B of the same assessment has five grades. Summative assessment covers non academic areas like attitudes and skills and there are three grades. If a student secures Grade 6 in the academic areas his/her marks would range from 51% to 60%. CCE advocates absolute grading. This means that Grade 9 would imply an A2 grade. The academic term will be divided into two terms. Continued
