CBSE recently issued a letter to all principals of affiliated schools regarding conduct of class 9th March 2010 Examination under Summative Assessment Part –II.
The Letter follows as below:
Dear Principal,
You are aware that the Central Board of Secondary Education has introduced Examination Reforms and Continuous & Comprehensive Evaluation in its affiliated schools from this academic year.
Students of class X taking board exams in March 2010 will not get to know their percentage. Their ‘marksheet’ will only bear grades from now on and not marks.
As per a presentation on Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) made at conference on schools at IIT Delhi on Monday, the CBSE will switch to the grading system for class X from this session itself.
Question: It is mentioned in the Circular that March 2011 Class X examination will be based on the syllabus published in 2011 Curriculum document. But nothing has been mentioned about question paper pattern. Please clarify
Answer by CBSE: In the light of recent changes introduced under CCE scheme, the termwise details of syllabus and question paper pattern for March 2011 are being worked out. Please wait for some time.
Inculcating good reading habits in children has always been a concern for all stakeholders in education. Now with the introduction of CCE and grading in secondary education there has been a paradigm shift from getting marks at an end of the term summative examination to the process of learning and acquiring better language skills.
With everything – information, entertainment, videos and even books within reach through the internet, it is indeed a challenge to convince students to pick up books and engage with the author, story, character and ideas presented in the reading passage or book.

2. The suggested format of a Report Card is given below.
The Certificate of School Based Assessment on Continuous Comprehensive Assessment will be available from the CBSE and the end of Class X. This will be filled up in the school and sent to the concerned RO in CBSE for countersignature. All regular students who have undergone a course of study at the X class of an affiliated school of CBSE shall be issued this certificate with effect from the year 2011.
Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) refers to a system of school-based evaluation of students that covers all aspects of students development.
It is a developmental process of assessment which emphasizes on two fold objectives. These objectives are continuity in evaluation and assessment of broad based learning and behaviourial outcomes on the other.
Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi has issued a teachers manual on CCE for class 9 and class 10. The new scheme of continuous and comprehensive evaluation is being implemented in class 9th from the current session 2009-2010 and the same will be implemented in class 10th too from next session i.e. 2010-2011. In this new grading scheme, CBSE will not take board exam for class 10 and a Certificate of School Based Assessment will be issued by the school authorities as per the guidelines given by CBSE.
The CBSE has been discussing the matter with its stakeholders all over the country. A number of issues are likely to be raised by students/parents regarding this initiative. A compilation of such issues, and solutions offered by the Board in the form of FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) will be soon available on the CBSE website.
In case of further clarification you may mail your queries to the Chairman CBSE by superscribing “CBSE Examination Reform” on the top of the envelop.
1. The student’s performance shall be assessed using conventional method of numerical marking.
2. The ‘Grades’ shall be awarded to indicate the subject wise performance.
3. The ‘Grades’ shall be awarded on a nine point scale as per Table
4. Only Subject wise grades shall be shown in the “Statement of Subject wise Performance” to be issued to all candidates.
The primary function of Grading is to communicate effectively to a variety of stakeholders the degree of achievement of an individual student.
The grading of students would also take away the frightening judgmental quality of marks obtained in a test leading to a stress free and joyful learning environment in the school.
This will also enable maintaining a meaningful continuity in the assessment pattern from the primary level to the secondary level and also in ensuring a basic uniformity in the schools.
As a matter of fact the Board has been preparing itself and all the stakeholders for a change to move over from numerical marking system to grading system during the past few years by creating a climate of acceptance. The Board has already in a phased manner, introduced the grading system based on absolute marks up to class VIII.
Now, therefore, the CBSE, in consultation with the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India has decided to introduce nine point grading system.
Schools begin ranking students, on the basis of their marks, from as early as their pre- primary years. Such a drive has several negative effects on learning. Students, parents and society at large become anxious in the race to acquire more and more marks in examinations which leads to an extremely stressful existence. Moreover, though all out efforts are made to enhance the reliability of examination, the human error cannot be avoided. This shortcoming can be overcome if the students are placed in ability bands that represent range of scores.
