Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) was a process of assessment, mandated by the Right to Education Act, of India in 2009.

Grades were awarded to students based on work experience skills, dexterity, innovation, steadiness, teamwork, public speaking, behaviour, etc.

In addition to the summative assessment, the board will offer an optional online aptitude test that may also be used as a tool along with the grades obtained in the CCE to help students to decide the choice of subjects in further studies.

The board has also instructed the schools to prepare the report card and it will be duly signed by the principal, the student.

In addition to that, various assignments can be given such as projects, models and charts, group work, worksheet, survey, seminar, etc.

Though most of the schools implemented it quickly, teachers and students who were accustomed to the older system of evaluation and examination faced difficulties coping with the changes.

The main aim of CCE is to reduce pressure on students who are unable to effectively participate in the educational system and leave it dejected and with low self-confidence.

Moreover, many students claimed that this system gave too much power to their school teachers, which often resulted in favoritism and biased assessments.
