The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) was set up with a mandate to prescribe conditions of examinations and conduct public examination at the end of class X and XII, to grant qualifying certificates to successful candidates of the affiliated schools and to affiliate institutions for the purpose of examination and raise the academic standards of the country, among others.

The prime focus of the board is to ensure innovation in teaching-learning methodologies by devising student-friendly and student-centred paradigms, reforms in examinations and evaluation practices, skill learning by adding job-oriented and job-linked inputs and regularly updating the pedagogical skills of teachers and administrators by conducting in-service training programmes, workshops, etc.

The CBSE has introduced a number of reforms in the school education sector. Our focus for the coming decade is on effective implementation of Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) for which the board aims to provide continuous training and engage in discussion with our teachers to build effective monitoring processes within the system.

CCE aims to make learning more interesting for students who are intellectually robust, lifelong learners with excellent problem-solving and analytical skills. India’s greatest asset in a competitive global economy is its young people who have acquired professional competence as part of the Indian system of education. We would like to widen this to reach out and bring in more learners into this fold. Reforms like CCE and changes to class X board examinations affect teaching and learning methodologies.

It is important that we recognise and respond to the concerns of educators and other stakeholders such as students, teachers, parents and principals. At every step of the implementation of CCE, we have interacted with all these stakeholders through questionnaires, both through the online and interactive mode. In fact, the survey was spearheaded by Management Development Institute (MDI), Gurgaon, and the findings taken into consideration while revising the CCE Scheme.
Teachers are going to play a very important role in the implementation of CCE, which is why CBSE is focusing on building the capacities of teachers in terms of the provision of professional development opportunities. Teachertraining is a vital component and the CBSE is building on the public-private model by empanelling service providers who will deliver quality in terms of both content and delivery.

CBSE will also be providing specific guidelines, training and guidance to support teachers in designing a wide range of creative activities for the enrichment and extension of learning. Online training programmes are also being planned and designed so that teachers who have already undertaken professional development can continue to train themselves at their own pace.
CBSE will conduct interactive sessions to update, guide and equip teachers in their implementation of CCE. The aim is to assist teachers to prepare assignments that will not only help students to better understand concepts but also promote their logical, criticalthinking and problem-solving skills.

The creation of an assessment paradigm that is diagnostic in nature, provides essential feedback about each student and helps in the allround growth is the focus of the CCE system. Although not a new concept, it requires changes in the way in which schools have been assessing their students and there are many on-the-ground issues that can come in the way of its effective and efficient implementation.

Question banks of question papers will be provided to schools to ensure quality and standard across schools. The question banks have been developed with the help of school teachers, subject experts and subject committees, with the test items moderated by senior teachers. We will be taking feedback from schools to further modifying the questions, where required.
Schools and teachers will be provided with summative assessments and marking schemes with directions on how to mark them. Monitoring checks at school level are being defined. Transparency will be the key to objectivity. Students will also be allowed to view their answer-scripts and, therefore, can seek an explanation regarding the awarded marks. Most importantly, we are planning to introduce group assessment for co-scholastic areas to ensure that assessments are objective.

The introduction of CCE does not mean less emphasis on academic achievements. Students will still be required to do well in studies. CCE in no way dilutes the emphasis on academics. In fact, while the assignments and projects assigned by teachers have to be interesting, they also have to be challenging for students. Summative assignments that CBSE is providing to schools include higher-ability questions, which will challenge students. We are also planning to offer an optional proficiency test for students who would like to assess themselves. This will have higher order questions in various subjects and also provide joint certification in collaboration with other institutions of repute in their chosen field.

CCE will not only reduce the stress students experience, but will also help them identify at regular intervals the areas of learning, which require improvement. This step will be initiated from the beginning of the academic session and students will have enough time to adopt suitable remedial measures and improve performance. The CBSE continues to provide a helpline and interactive sessions with stakeholders. Schools have been advised to hold counselling sessions for parents on different aspects of the CCE scheme. Parent-student workshops organised with the help and support of CBSE Sahodayas across all cities will enable trained principals and teachers to interact with parents and students.

While every school has its own unique environment, focus and resource availability, a collective experience with different schools would help us understand the possible issues a school could face. These inputs would be critical in ensuring that there is sufficient sharing, guidance and intervention that can be carried out to make CCE successful in schools. The overall approach for this exercise, therefore, is based on two major objectives — one, that the implementation of CCE has to be in letter and spirit, not just a procedure fulfilled on paper. Two, it involves working very closely with the actual resource base that can make CCE a worthwhile initiative, i.e., teachers and school leaders.

This involves understanding them, their views and their constraints (and finding ways to overcome them). Furthermore, in accordance with the recommendations of the National Curriculum Framework (2005) and National Knowledge Commission (2008), it is felt that this is also an opportunity for schools to revamp the internal school assessments, especially in the area of  quality leading to enhanced learning.  One of the main aims of Monitor-Mentor (M&M) programme is to build capacity within the schools to implement CCE effectively.

This will be ensured through ‘Train the Monitor-Mentor framework.’ Monitors and Mentors will work as peer assessors. Each monitor is a principal who will be assigned three to six schools in the neighbourhood. The monitor will visit a school and document observations through checklists, interaction with teacher, classroom observation scale, self-review form and mentoring form on CCE. They will then mentor the school if required. A report will need to be submitted online to the CBSE. All the tools developed by the CBSE have been uploaded on the CBSE website www.cbse.nic.in Besides training and mentoring, we have also created an innovation cell to provide guidance for schools. We will be using a system of random verification to assess the quality of implementation of the scheme at the school level. We are also planning CCE awards for schools.

Now the CBSE is in the process of identifying agencies who will fulfil the basic criteria for recommending schools through rigorous accreditation processes. Accrediting agencies desiring to be recognised by CBSE can apply for recognition and empanelment. The defined norms will have to be adopted transparently by schools and any discrepancies found will lead to disqualification of the accreditation organisation. CBSE will also be making school visits to check on the establishment of norms.

Admission of CBSE students in Class XI  for academic year 2010-11 after Introduction of Grading at Secondary School level  by the Board

Those who get Qualifying Certificates shall be eligible for admission in higher classes.

The schools affiliated with the Board follow different practices suitable in their own context. They may continue to do so. However, in view of demand by a number of schools, illustrative guidelines for deciding combination of subjects at Class XI are given below:

The admission can be based on CGPA (overall indicative percentage of marks) and subject wise GP (subject wise indicative percentage of marks).

In case of tie in CGPA (overall indicative percentage of marks), the inter-se-merit of such candidates may be determined in order of preference based on subject wise Grade Point (subject wise indicative percentage of marks).

For example : In case of two or more candidates obtaining equal CGPA (overall indicative percentage of marks ), the  inter-se-merit  of such  candidates  may  be determined as follows :

(a) For Science based Courses :
Candidates obtaining higher CGPA (indicative percentage of marks) in one compulsory language (Better of  English/ Hindi), Mathematics and  Science.

(b) For Commerce based Courses with Mathematics :
Candidates obtaining higher CGPA (indicative percentage of marks) in one compulsory language (Better of English/ Hindi), Mathematics and  Science/ Social
Science.

(c) For Commerce based Courses without Mathematics :

Candidates obtaining higher CGPA (indicative percentage of marks) in one compulsory language (Better of English/ Hindi), Science and Social Science.

(d) For Humanities based Courses :
Candidates obtaining higher CGPA (indicative percentage of marks) in one compulsory language (Better of English/ Hindi), Social Science and 2nd Language.

The above example is only illustrative and not exhaustive.

Format of “Statement of Subject wise Performance”  issued to the candidates is available at www.cbse.nic.in

Board has introduced Grading  at Secondary School level for Classes IX and X from the academic year 2009-10. (Circular No 40/29-09-2009).

In this system, students’ performance has been assessed using conventional  numerical marking mode, and the same has been be converted into the grades on the basis of the pre-determined marks ranges.

Accordingly, the “Statement of Subject wise Performance” issued by the Board  for Class X 2010 examination  shall  have only grades.

The schools affiliated to the Board have also been directed to introduce the above Grading Scheme in the evaluation of their students in class IX under the scheme of Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) wef academic year 2009-10

1  Operational Modalities followed for implementation of grading scheme are :

1.1 A student’s performance has been assessed using conventional method of numerical marking.

1.2 The ‘Grades’ have been awarded to indicate the subject wise performance.

1.3 Subject wise Grades and Grade Point (GP) have been shown in the “Statement of Subject wise Performance” to be issued to all candidates.

The candidates have also been provided CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) excluding additional 6th subject as per Scheme of Studies in the “Statement of Subject wise Performance”

An indicative equivalence of Grade Point and percentage of marks can be computed as follows:

Subject wise indicative percentage of marks =9.5x GP of the subject
Overall indicative percentage of marks         =9.5x CGPA

1.4 The practice of declaring Compartment/ Fail have been discontinued. The overall result in the “Statement of Subject wise Performance” have been shown as :

Result:    Eligible for Qualifying Certificate or Eligible for Improvement of Performance.

1.5 Those candidates who obtain the qualifying grades (minimum grade D) in all the subjects excluding 6th Additional subject as per Scheme of Studies shall be awarded a Qualifying Certificate.

Those who get Qualifying Certificates shall be eligible for admission in higher classes.

Those candidates who are not able to get minimum grades D in all the subjects excluding 6th Additional subject  as per Scheme of Studies shall not be permitted for admission in higher classes.

1.6 Those candidates who have obtained grade E1 or E2 in one or more subjects excluding 6th Additional subject as per Scheme of Studies shall have to  improve their performance  in these subjects. Such candidates shall have option for improvement of their performance through subsequent five attempts.

For example, a candidate who appeared in Board’s examination in March 2010 can appear for Improvement of Performance  in July 2010 (1st Chance), March 2011 (2nd
Chance), July 2011 (3rd Chance), March 2012 (4th Chance) and  July 2012 (5th Chance) only in subjects where he/she has got grade E1 or E2 till he/she gets grades (D and above) in all the subjects excluding 6th Additional subject as per Scheme of Studies and becomes eligible for award of Qualifying Certificate.

Those candidates who had appeared as a Regular candidate from a School in March, 2010 examination and are eligible for Improvement of Performance shall send their application through school only for 1st Chance in July, 2010.

Those candidates who are eligible for 2nd / 3rd /4th /5th chance for Improvement of Performance shall appear as Private candidates only.

Those candidates who are eligible for Improvement of Performance for 1st/ 2nd / 3rd /4th /5th chance and wish to appear for the whole examination may, however, appear as regular candidates also if admitted by the school as regular students.
