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.
Addressing the Concerns:-
