CCA OF CBSE

The comprehensive component of CCE takes care of assessment of all round development
of the child’s personality. It includes assessment in scholastic and co-scholastic aspects in
pupils’ growth. Students will be evaluated both in scholastic and non-scholastic areas.

1. As per the new pattern, students will be assessed in two areas - Scholastic and Co-
scholastic.

For assessment of the scholastic areas, the academic year is divided in two terms and two
types of tests will be conducted to assess the academic subjects as given in Table 1 below.
Term wise weightage

Each term to have 2 formative assessments and one summative assessment in each
subject.
Six assessments are proposed:

Class Term1 (April – September) Term-2 (October – March)

FA1 FA2 SA-1 Total FA3 FA4 SA2 Total

I-X 10% 10% 30% 50% 10% 10% 30% 50%

Total Formative Assessments (FA) = FA1+ FA2 + FA3 +FA4 = 40%

Summative Assessments (SA) = SA1+ SA2 = 60%

Total = 60+40 = 100%

FORMATIVE AND SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT.

 Formative Assessment  Summative Assessment

Comprises of

 Classwork  Includes term end examination:

 Homework

Formative assessment

The formative assessment is a tool for a teacher to continuously monitor the progress of a
student. The assessment (in secondary) may include quizzes, conversations, oral testing,
visual testing, projects, practical, assignments, class test, class-work, home work etc. The
teacher is free to take any number of formative tests in his/her subject during the year but
only four formative tests will be taken into account in each subject. Performance of the
students will b reflected in grades.

In primary classes the formative tests will be in the form of –Dictation, oral test, class
test, home work, class work, assignments & projects (III to V), Memory test, Story telling,
Quiz (III to V), Elocution (III to V) or any other tool found suitable by the teacher. The
formative tests are purely informal, however, the teachers will inform the date and time of
test before hand. These tests will be taken in the regular periods only.

Summative Assessment

The Summative assessment is the terminal assessment of performance at the end of

instruction. Under the end term Summative assessment, the students will be tested
internally. The Summative assessment will be in the form of a pen-paper test conducted by
the schools themselves. It will be conducted at the end of each term twice in a year. The
schedule for the same is given below.

and overall assessment will be given in grades in 9 point scale in secondary (classes IX &

1. Part 2 : Co-scholastic areas (VI to X)

Evaluation of this area deals with the collection of evidences regarding the changes which
occur in the learner’s behaviour during the teaching learning process. Based on these
evidences, interpretation and judgment, the progress of the learner is arrived at and
decisions taken.
There will be no written examination as far as co-scholastic area is concerned. Teachers
in a group will observe the behavioural change in the learner and assign the grades.
These areas consist of:
