Continuous and comprehensive evaluation is an education system newly introduced by the Central Board of Secondary Education in India, for students of sixth to tenth grades and twelfth in some schools.
The pattern of education :
Unlike CBSE’s old pattern of only one test at the end of the academic year, the CCE conducts several. There are two different types of tests. Namely, the formative and the summative. Formative tests will comprise the student’s work in class and home, the student’s performance in oral tests and quizzes and the quality of the projects or assignments submitted by the child. Formative tests will be conducted four times in an academic session, and they will carry a 40% weightage for the aggregate. In some schools, an additional written test is conducted instead of multiple oral tests. However, at least one oral test is conducted.
The summative assessment is a three-hour long written test conducted twice a year. The first summative or Summative Assessment 1 (SA-1) will be conducted after the first two formatives are completed. The second (SA-2) will be conducted after the next two formatives. Each summative will carry a 30% weightage and both together will carry a 60% weightage for the aggregate. The summative assessment will be conducted by the schools itself. However, the question papers will be partially prepared by the CBSE and evaluation of the answer sheets is also strictly monitored by the CBSE. Once completed, the syllabus of one summative will not be repeated in the next. A student will have to concentrate on totally new topics for the next summative.
At the end of the year, the CBSE processes the result by adding the formative score to the summative score, i.e. 40% + 60% = 100%. Depending upon the percentage obtained, the board will deduce the CGPA and thereby deduce the grade obtained. In addition to the summative assessment, the board will offer an optional online aptitude test that may also be used as a tool along with the grades obtained in the CCE to help students to decide the choice of subjects in further studies. The board has also instructed the schools to prepare the report card and it will be duly signed by the principal, the student, and the Board official.
Often during the evaluation of Social Science papers, the following concepts are observed.
- Investigation of the situation – What is the question and what is to be explained.
- Deductive Method – What does the student know and how can he use it to explain a situation.
- A co-relation with a real-life situation – Whether the situation given matches any real-life situation, like tsunamis, floods, tropical cyclones, etc.
- Usage of Information Technology – Can the problem be solved with the use of IT? If yes, how?
In addition to that, various assignments can be given such as projects, models and charts, group work, worksheets, surveys, seminars, etc. The teacher will also play a major role. For example, they give remedial help, maintain a term-wise record and checklists, etc.
Prescribed Format
This Module Provides as you might be aware that the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has released new guidelines for evaluation of the students for secondary classes. We are migrating/updating to the prescribed formats with minimal efforts, by using our CCE Report Card Software. CCE Report Card Preparation Module of “SMS” enables schools in comprehensive and continuous evaluation of students by providing various analysis reports, some of which are:
The board has made it mandatory from June 2010, for all CBSE schools to follow the CCE guidelines while preparing report cards for Std IX and X. The CCE system is truly a revolutionary way of grading in India as this report card provides a holistic view of a student’s progress not only in the academic but also in the co-scholastic areas under which he/she would be graded on life skills, including thinking, social and emotional skills, attitudes and values.

| There are nine grades in Part A of Scholastic assessment and Part B of the same assessment has five grades. |
| The 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%. |

| No need for teachers to maintain a separate student file |
| Saves teachers time by 80% and teachers workload reduces by 95% |
| No calculations required i.e. percentile, FA1+FA2+FA3+FA4, SA1+SA2 etc. All calculations are done automatically. |
| Automatic report card generation |
| Multiple observations in FA’s and Skills possible i.e. Debate and Speech in FA3 and |
| automatic average of the same. |
| Report cards based on CBSE model report cards. |
| Cumulative report card for IX and X could be printed. |
