The examination and effects of Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation The exams, commonly called 'board exams', take place with great enthusiasm in India. Children used to study in a stream of evaluation called the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation. This method had been put into force by the then Union HRD minister Kapil Sibal to reduce the stress on students.According to the new trend-setter, the entire year had been divided into two semesters. Each semester had two Formative tests and one summative test.The exam previously was held at the end of the year, but with the semester pattern, the exam is divided into halves. The first half was from April–September and the second half was from October–March.Starting in academic year 2017–18, the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation scheme has been replaced by the traditional system.
Exam components Each subject is marked out of a total of 90 (theoretical/written) and 10 marks for practical assessment techniques such as assignments, classroom projects, and presentations. According to the new pattern, each subject is marked out of a total of 80 (theoretical), and the remaining 20 marks (internal assessment) are divided into 5 for the practical assessment, 5 for notebook submission and 10 for practice tests conducted autonomously by schools affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education.From the academic year 2019–20, the Central Board of Secondary Education changed this pattern where 80 marks for theory are the same but increased the number of questions and provide more internal choices in the paper. Also, to tackle rote learning in schools, they decreased the weight of Tests from 10 to 5 and increased the marks of assignment to 15 (Multiple assessments and Portfolio)Each candidate gives either five or six exams, each of 100 marks and the best five subjects are taken into the consideration. English and regional language are compulsory to be included. They are marked out of 500 marks and then the percentage is taken out.Students are required to get a minimum score of 40 out of 100 ( 33 in CBSE)in every subject to successfully pass the examination.
Post-Examination In India, schools and junior colleges often consider All India Secondary School Examination scores for admission to higher secondary disciplines (humanities, sciences, commerce or vocational courses) in the absence of admission tests. Thus the exams turn to be the deciding factor in deciding in which stream will the student be comfortable.
