CCE

CONTINUOUS AND COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION

PRIMARY CLASSES

A. FOR CLASSES I & II :

1. There is no formal examination for Classes I & II. The teacher will evaluate the students through continuous and comprehensive evaluation (CCE). The testing can be done simultaneously while teaching or separately. Most of the time the student will not be aware that they are being tested.

2. There will be minimum 8 cycles of CCE.

3. One cycle of CCE means that all the students of the class are tested in all the competencies.

4. They should obtain at least ‘C’ grade. If a child gets ‘D’ grade in some competencies, the teacher should repeat the cycle.

5. It is therefore recommended that tentatively 10 cycles of CCE should be planned in advance, so as to ensure that at least 8 cycles are completed by all the students securing at least Grade C in all the competencies by March.

B. THE FOLLOWING SCHEME IS FOLLOWED FOR CLASSES III, IV & V:

The CCE in classes III, IV & V shall spread over two terms during one academic session.

First Term includes Formative Assessment 1 (Pen Paper Test), Formative Assessment 2 and Summative Assessment 1 (Pen Paper Test). The duration of the First Term is from 1^st April to 30^th September in an academic session.
Second Term includes Formative Assessment 3 (Pen Paper Test), Formative Assessment 4 and Summative Assessment 2 (Pen Paper Test). The duration of the Second Term is from 1^st October to 31^st March in an academic Session.

THE WEIGHTAGE OF FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT (FA) AND SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT (SA) SHALL BE AS FOLLOWS: (FOR CLASSES III TO X)

TERMS	TYPE OF ASSESSMENT	PERCENTAGE WEIGHTAGE IN ACADEMIC SESSION	TERM WISE WEIGHTAGE	TOTAL
FIRST TERM (APRIL – SEPTEMBER)	FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT 1	10	FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT 1 + 2 = 20	FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 40
	FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT 2	10	FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT 1 + 2 = 20
	SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT 1	30	SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT 1 = 30	SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT 1 + 2 = 30
SECOND TERM (OCTOBER – MARCH)	FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT 3	10	FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT 3 + 4 = 20	TOTAL = 100
	FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT 4	10	FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT 3 + 4 = 20
	SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT 2	30	SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT 2 = 30
