The CBSE new pattern guidelines throws light on the assessment parameters for evaluation of the student’s performance.
For scholastic performances, the board awards both grades and marks on individual subjects.
For co-scholastic performances, the board awards grades to the students under three categories Prevocational Education, Health and Physical Education, and Art Education.
As a third category, discipline in the school campus is awarded as grades. The evaluation category involves discipline with respect of behavior, ethics and values, sincerity, and attendance.
