CBSE withdraws its uniform evaluation policy

Uniform assessment policy, which was framed by the CBSE for classes 6 to 8, has now been withdrawn by the board after following the objections from the country's top child rights body, National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR).According to the NCPCR, the policy was the direct violation of the Right to Education Act (RTE). “As per decision of the governing body of the board, the earlier circular regarding uniform system of assessment, examination and report card for classes 6 to 8 stands repealed,” according to an official notification by the CBSE. The earlier circular had stated that “to increase the confidence in the students to start preparing for Class 10 Board examination when they join the upper primary stage in Class 6, the CBSE has decided to implement the uniform system of assessment, examination pattern and issue of report cards for classes 6 to 8 also on the similar pattern”.After the reintroduction of the board exams in class 10 by the central government, the system of continuous and comprehensive evaluation was also done away.

Copying mafias have been identified. Local education officers have also been asked to take help of help of local intelligence during examinations to keep an eye on their activities” Sharma said. “We have studied all the possible ways and means of unfair means during the examinations. Those appearing in an exam impersonating someone else or involved in changing answer sheets before they reach evaluation centres will not be able to do so.

The students of the IIM-B are in a fix as a recent e-mail asked them to verify their names in Hindi, which will be printed on their graduation certificate. The idea of printing the names in Hindi was not well received by many students and they are opposing the idea.“What if we apply in some foreign universities or look for jobs abroad? Will they understand this language?” said a student from IIM-B. As per the reports, the students were asked by the institute to verify their names in the Hindi in Google sheets before January 31, 2018. According to the officials from the institute, they are discussing the issue actively and so such decision has been imposed on the students.“We are happy to have received various views and opinions, some of which are not in favor.

There are no protests and we shall internally reach out to anyone who has a concern.”
