PERIODICAL ASSESSMENT
As we focus our attention on ‘what our students are learning’ alongwith ‘the skill sets they
are acquiring’, it becomes imperative to strengthen current Assessment and Evaluation
Practices and align them to the future requirements of the learners. The Board has always
stressed that its students must acquire the skills of critical thinking, problem solving,
analyzing information, collaboration, effective communication, developing curiosity and
imagination as part of the learning process. You are also aware that the Board continues to
make small changes in the assessment and evaluation practices almost every year to
eventually reach the goal of achieving the aforementioned skills for all its students.
Report card of the National Assessment Survey (2017-18) has indicated that the
performance of CBSE class X students in Mathematics, Science, Social Science, English
and Modern Indian Language is 52%, 51%, 53%, 58% and 62% respectively. Although this
competency-based survey places the CBSE students above the national average, it
indicates that there is ample scope for improvement in their performance.
