Only One Chance for Improvement in CBSE Class 9 CCE Exam 2010

Class IX Summative Assessment II – Eligibility for Improvement

This  is  in  continuation  of  CBSE  circular  no.40/29.9.2009  regarding  introduction  of Grading at Class IX and X from the Academic Session 2009-10.   As per above circular, the Board has discontinued the practice of declaring ‘Compartment’ or ’Fail’.  Further, it has also been informed that candidates who have obtained Grade ‘E1’ or ‘E2’ are required to improve their performance in subsequent five attempts.

Given below are the guidelines with regard to eligibility for improvement of performance in class IX:

i)  The students of class  IX who have obtained Grade  ‘E1’ or  ‘E2’  in one or more subjects excluding  additional  subject  may  be  allowed  to  improve  their  performance  in  2nd Summative  Assessment  through  subsequent ONE  ATTEMPT and  such  students would not be eligible for getting admission in class X till they improve their performance.

ii)  Although,  it  is true that for Class X examination we have decided to allow the students to  appear  for  improvement  of  their  performance  in  one  or  more  subjects  through subsequent FIVE ATTEMPTS yet in class IX keeping in view the administrative difficulties of  the  schools  it  has  been  decided  to  allow  only ONE  CHANCE for  improvement  of performance.

iii)  As intimated earlier, question papers for improvement examination in class IX would be set by the schools themselves on the lines of the question papers provided by the Board earlier for Summative Assessment and one chance of improvement of performance is to be given preferably within a period of one month from the date of declaration of the results by the schools.
