CBSE’s decision to introduce a system of Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation in schools (CCE) and its implications on the teaching-learning process is one area that is being closely followed by schools, students and parents alike.
But what exactly does CCE have in store for the students? In real terms, how do things change for a student with the introduction of CCE? Here are some points that will help clarify the implications of CCE in a student’s life:
- No marks, only grades! With the introduction of CCE marks take a bow, as all students will now be evaluated on a 9-point scale. Students with grades ‘D’ and above will qualify to get promoted to the next class.
- ‘Cramming’ the night before exams becomes passé! Now, with a system of continuous evaluation your progress throughout the school year will be monitored with the help of a series of formative and summative assessment methods. Assessment in school will be divided into 2 terms- April to September and October to March.
- Quizzes, projects, class presentations, seminars and more! Gear-up to be doing a lot of these ‘fun’ activities that will also add up to that ‘grade’ on your report card.
- Academics alone are not enough! Good grades on your academic school subjects may not be enough for you to have a ‘good looking’ Report Card. Yes, the time has come for you to be an all-rounder because outside class activities such as ‘Yoga’, ‘Gymnastics’ etc. now get a place on your Report Card too!
- Homework acquires a new meaning! Well home assignments have always been important, but now they may just be one of the many ways your teacher chooses to assess you as part of the formative assessment methods.
- No more Board exams in class X! Of course, for students of class X the dreaded ‘Board Exams’ become optional.
- Emotional Quotient and other qualities become important! Your ability to make friends, manage your emotions, your willingness to help classmates, the respect you show towards teachers and the environment –all of this will now reflect on your Report Card!
Thus, for all you students the only way you can truly shine in your school is to actively participate in all the inside classroom and outside classroom activities and focus on improving your weak areas as you go along.
Cheers!

This system is good but I feel the evaluation will not be that easy. This system is going to be helpful for some artistic students who lag behind in studies. But for some intellectual geniuses this system will be a headache.
