HOW CBSE’S GRADING SYSTEM WILL WORK

THE NEW ORDER

With board exams being made optional from the academic year 2010-11, a new system of evaluation—Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE)—based on grades has been approved. It comprises formative and summative assessment of the student to be done over two terms—first and second— during the year-long academic calendar

Formative Assessment To evaluate and grade class work, homework, assignment and project work
1 There will be two evaluations each in the first and second terms
2 Each evaluation will carry 10 marks apiece

Summative Assessment Based on the term-end examination
1 There will be one term-end exam for each term
2 The first term-end exam will carry 20 marks
3 The second term-end exam will carry 40 marks

EVALUATION
Students of class IX and X will be evaluated on a 9-point grading system. Each grade, given on the basis of both formative and summative assessments, will correspond to a range of marks as indicated below:
