Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) refers to a system of school-based evaluation of students that covers all aspects of students development. It was introduced by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in India to evaluate the student’s development in all aspects throughout the academic year on a continuous basis.
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. It refers to a system of school based assessment that covers all aspects student’s development.
The comprehensive assessment of all round development of the child’s personality includes assessment in the scholastic and co-scholastic aspect in student’s growth. Students will be evaluated both in scholastic and non-scholastic areas as per the guidelines & norms of the CBSE.
Evaluation of Scholastic Areas
For assessment of the scholastic areas, the academic year is basically divided into two terms and two types of tests will be conducted to assess the academic subjects. Each term will have two Formative Assessment tests and one Summative Assessment test.
Formative Assessment
The formative assessment may include quizzes, conversations, oral testing, visual testing, projects, practical, assignments, class test, class work, homework etc., for subjects and four formative tests will be taken for each subject. The performance will be evaluated in grades.
Summative Assessment
The Summative assessment will be a pen-paper test conducted by the schools at the end of each term, twice a year.
Grading System
All assessment with regard to the academic status of the students will be done in marks and the overall assessment will be given in grades on a 9 point scale in secondary (classes IX & X), 7 point scale for middle school (classes VI to VIII) and 5 point scale for primary (classes I to V). The report cards will carry the grades only.
