The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has proposed a new evaluation model for class 12, which includes performance from classes 9, 10, and 11 in the final board results. This model, outlined in the report ‘Establishing Equivalence across Education Boards’, emphasizes a progressive assessment approach, adjusting the weightage of formative and summative assessments across grades.
A report by PARAKH, a unit set up in NCERT to standardize assessments, proposes including performance from Classes 9th, 10th, and 11th in the final Class 12th report card. The report suggests a weighting system for each class’s contribution and outlines the proportion of formative and summative assessments in each grade.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has detected significant variations between theory and practical marks in certain subjects among 50% or more students using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) tools. Around 500 schools affiliated with CBSE have been flagged for this variation, highlighting the need for meticulous assessment during practical examinations. The board has issued an advisory to these schools to review their internal assessment procedures. This move is aimed at strengthening the evaluation system, ensuring fairness, and enhancing the quality of education in CBSE-affiliated institutions.
