Part-1 CCE for CBSE Class X – 2009 – 10 Academic Session

CBSE Examination Reforms and Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) for CBSE Class X 2009 –10 academic session and onwards.

1. All students of Class X in the current academic year will be taking the CBSE Board’s Class X 2010 Examination. The CBSE will be conducting this Examination. Kindly visit CBSE official website for more details

2. The weightage of the School Based Assessment will remain the same as per past practice, i.e. 20% each in the subjects of Science, Social Science and Mathematics.

3. The new Grading system will be introduced at Secondary School level (for Classes IX & X) effective from 2009-10 Academic Session. The details of grading scheme will be circulated in a separate advisory to schools.

4. The syllabus and examination specifications in all subjects remain as reflected in Secondary School Curriculum Document 2010 (printed by the Board) with minor modifications as notified to schools through circulars during the current session. The Curriculum Document and the circulars are available on the CBSE website (www.cbse.nic.in).

Part-2 Class X- Academic Session 2010-11 onwards

1. Senior Secondary Schools

In Senior Secondary Schools, there will be no Board examination at Class X since the students will be entering Class XI in the same school.
These students will be assessed through the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation  internally by the school as per the strengthened Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation  Scheme as described above for Class IX (for the second term from October 2009 to March 2010) and Class X (for two terms, the first term from April 2010 to September 2010 and the second from October March 2011).

At the end of the academic year 2010-11, students will be issued the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation  certificate on the pre-printed stationery to be supplied by the Board. These Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation certificates, once they are complete in all respects, (for both Class IX and X) will be required to be sent to the Regional Offices for the signatures of the Board official.

However the Board will provide flexibility to the following students in Senior Secondary schools also to appear in Board’s external (pen and paper written/online) examination (described separately below):-

• The students wanting to terminate their studies in the school for admission in Pre-University, vocational course, etc.
• The students wanting to shift to the other schools of other State Boards due to local reasons.

Moreover, those students who wish to assess themselves vis-à-vis their peers or for self motivation will be allowed to appear in an On Demand (pen and paper/online) Proficiency test.

2. Secondary Schools:

In all schools upto secondary level there will be Board’s external (pen and paper written/on-line) Examination at the end of Class X as detailed in para 3 below since the students will be moving out of these schools.

Note: The students in Classes IX and X in Secondary Schools also will follow the CCE as described above. At the end of the Class X, students will be issued the CCE certificates on the pre-printed stationery supplied by the Board.

3. External (pen and paper written/online) Examination

• These mainly application oriented external (pen and paper written/ online) Examinations will be based on the same syllabi as detailed in the Curriculum Document 2011.
• These will be certified by the CBSE.

Part-3 Concessions being given to the Differently Abled

All the relaxations such as use of scribe for visually challenged, choice of optional subjects, use of computers for visually challenged being provided the present Board Examinations of Class X to the differently-abled children need to be continued in the School Based Assessment also, at the formative as well as Summative level. Due consideration will also be given to these students in co-scholastic evaluation too.
