What is the grading system and how are the students assessed?
CBSE generally follows two types of assessment pattern – Formative assessment and Summative assessment.
Formative Assessment (FA) is used by the teacher to constantly monitor a student’s progress in a supportive environment. It involves the teacher to provide regular feedback in a descriptive way and gives students a chance to reflect on the performance and improve upon it.
Summative Assessment (SA) is carried out at the end of a course of learning. It measures how much a student has learned from the course undertaken. It is usually a graded test and students are evaluated on the basis of marks according to a scale or set of grades.
At the end of 12th grade a final exam is conducted by the CBSE board which is evaluated and graded externally by the board. A prime advantage of the CBSE curriculum is that most of competitive exams in India are based on the NCERT syllabus so it gives students an edge over those studying state boards.
