All the Heads of Schools affiliated to CBSE

Subject: Assessment and Evaluation Practices ofthe Board for the Session 2024-25.

The Board in accordance with National Education Policy, 2020 has taken multiple steps
towards implementation of Competency Based Education in schools, ranging from aligning
assessment to competencies, development of exemplar resources for teachers and students
as well as continuous capacity building of the teachers etc. The main emphasis of the Board
was to create an educational ecosystem that would move away from rote memorization and
towards learning that is focused on developing the creative, critical and systems thinking
capacities of students to meet the challenges of the 21st century.

The Board has released guidelines vide Circular No. Acad- 05/2019 dated 18.01 .201 9; Circular
No. Acad-'l 1/2019 dated 06.03.2019; Circular No. Acad-18/2020 dated 16.03.2020; and
Circular No. Acad-57/2022 dated 20.05.2022 to progressively align assessment to the vision
of the NEP by including more competency-based quesllons in the Classes X and Xll Board
examinations.

Appropriately, the Board is continuing with aligning of the assessments and evaluation
practices with NEP- 2020 for the academic session 2024-2025. Consequently, in the
forthcoming session, the percentage of Competency Based Questions that assess application
of concepts in real-life situations included in the question papers of the Board is given as under:

Page 4 of 5
5. Multi-disciplinary Projects (MDP) for classes III to VIII will continue to assess holistic learning of the students. Only one MDP is required
to be assigned per term for all subjects. Houetser, in order to couer all subjects if thcre is need, addihonal MDP may be assigned.
5. The qualifying marks for class IX students shall be 33% in each subject. This implies that the student is expected to score 33% including
both Annual examination (80) and Internal Assessment (20) taken together. However, overall 33% marks is also required to promote the
student in the next higher class. For class IX students offering 5 subjects and failing in two of the five subjects shall be placed in

Practical/Intemal Assessment/Project separately. The overall 33% marks are also required for the promotion of the students in next
higher class. Students failing in one of the five main subjects in Class XI will be placed under Comparhnent in that subject and students
failing in more than one subject will be treated as'Essential Repeaf. In this regard, KVS HQ letter dated 05.06.2018 is enclosed for your
reference.
8. In class-Xl, Students need to secure 33 % in the supplementary examination (Theory only) to get quali$r for the next higher class where as
in class-IX, the marks obtained in Annual examination will be substituted by the marks in Supplementary examination to decide the
qualifying criteria.
9. Wherever applicable, for the promotion of students of IX and XI, their participation in sports at different Levels, as per KVS guidelines,
needs to be considered and the prescribed weightage as per F.No.110355/01/2019-20/KVS(HQ)/Sports/BOG/480/dated 21..05.2020
should be added to promote the students in the respective subject. This provision should not be used to bring the student to the zone of
