Assessment is interwoven with daily learning & helps students to find out what they already know enabling teachers to plan the next stage of learning. Assessment for us is a continual process of feedback & further growth. There is continuous assessment of the students throughout the year. Promotion is based on the cumulative performance of the students.

For Classes IX & X
As per the Circular No 39/20-09-2009,40/29-09-2009 and 42/12-10-2009 by the CBSE, changes in the Examination System, Assessment and Grading of the students at the Secondary level have been introduced from the Academic session 2009-10.
The salient features of the new system are as follows:

• There will be no Class X Board Examination for students presently studying in Class IX in Senior Secondary schools affiliated to CBSE.
• Students of Senior Secondary Schools who wish to move out of the CBSE system after Class X on account of transfer or any other reason will be required to take the Board’s External(pen and paper written/online) Examination after the schooling in class X as per the CCE Scheme.
• Further, these students who wish to assess themselves vis-à-vis their peers or for self assessment will be allowed to appear in an On Demand (pen and paper/online) Proficiency test. This Proficiency test will be different from the Board’s External (pen and paper/written/online)Examination.

(Note: This test will have NO bearing on admission and /allocation of stream in Class XI.

• An Aptitude Test developed by the CBSE will also be available to the students. The Aptitude Test along with other school records and CCE would help students, parents and teachers in deciding the choice of subjects in class XI.

(Note: The CBSE has authorized the schools to conduct their own Aptitude Test and also determine their own criteria for allocation of streams in class XI)

• In general, for the purpose of the CCE, an academic year has been divided into two terms. The first term will be from April-September and the second term from October-March.
• The CCE is intended to provide holistic profile of the learner through evaluation of both Scholastic and Co-Scholastic areas spread over two terms each during two academic years.

Scholastic Assessment:

• For evaluation of Scholastic Areas, each term will have two Formative Assessments and one Summative Assessment. The weightage of Formative Assessment (FA) and Summative Assessment (SA) shall be as follows:

The marks obtained by the candidates in the two terms in an academic year will be converted into grades as per the grading scheme given below:

• All candidates who obtain grade D or above in all the subjects excluding Additional subject as per Scheme of Studies will be awarded a Qualifying Certificates and shall move on to the next level.
• The practice of declaring Compartment/Fail shall be discontinued. Those candidates who have obtained grade E1 and E2 in even one subject will have to improve their performance through subsequent attempts. These students will not be permitted to move on to the next level till they obtain the qualifying grade (D and above) in all subjects.
• Not all Formative Assessments will be restricted to pen and paper tests. Some of the Formative Assessment will be through: Class Work, quizzes, Experiments, Homework, Projects (Individual/Group), Conversation/Interview, Oral Questions, Assignments/tests or any other innovative methods.

• The Summative Assessments are the end of the term paper and pen tests. These assessments will include MCQs, Short answer type and Essay type Questions.
• The Board has brought SUPW, Art Education and Physical Education under Scholastic area. These will be graded on a five point scale: A+, A, B, B+, C. In addition, descriptive Indicators will also be provided.

• The co-scholastic areas have been divided into 4 parts. The four areas are explained below:

• The grades for the above co-scholastic areas/activities will be assigned by the Class teacher, subject teachers and the counsellor collectively. The “Anecdotal Record” of each student will be maintained. The Anecdotal Record will contain significant items, events and /or episodes which define a particular aspect of the conduct of the student and/or reveal different traits of his personality and attitudes. This record will be a cumulative description of actual examples of behaviour as observed by teachers and counselors followed by comments by the teacher.

For Co-scholastic activities and Health and Physical Education, the students will need to inform their respective Class Teachers whenever they participate/win in any event falling in these categories.
