 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
learner’s level of attainment.
 Resulting in Pass/Fail.
 Causing frustration
and humiliation .

DECONSTRUCTING THE CIRCULAR

CBSE – 09/39- 40
 WHAT IS
CONTINUOUS COMPREHENSIVE
EVALUATION ?
Continuous and Comprehensive
evaluation refers to a system of school
based assessment that covers all aspects
of student’s development .
It emphasizes two fold objectives.

 Continuity in evaluation and assessment

of broad based learning.

 Behavioral out come.

 FEATURES OF CCE
Continuous

 Continual—from the beginning and during

the instructional process

Periodicity—frequency /term
 Comprehensive

• Scholastic - Subject specific areas.

• Co-Scholastic - Life skills, attitudes &

values and other co curricular activities

 Feedback on learning (assessment of

learning) to teacher and parents

 FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT (FA)

Will comprise of :
• Class work
• Homework
• Oral questions

by CBSE.
•Exam to be conducted by schools
•Evaluation of Answer scripts will be done within the school.
 CLASS IX
 Academic year will have 2 terms -

FIRST TERM :

 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.

CBSEhas decided to introduce the following

GRADING SYSTEM.
 GRADING SYSTEM for
SCHOLASTIC -A
MARKS GRADE GRADE
POINT
91—100 A1
10
81—90 A2
9
71—80 B1
8
61—70 B2
7
51—60 C1
6
 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 X 100 = 55

PERCENTILE RANK
 GRADING SYSTEM
ADVANTAGE
S
 Minimize misclassification of students on
the basis of marks.
Eliminate unhealthy cut throat
competition among high achievers.
Reduce societal pressure and provide the
learner with more flexibility.
Lead to a better learning environment.
