What CBSE says…
• Education aims at making children capable of becoming responsible, productive and useful members of society
• Examinations are an indispensable part of the educational process as some form of assessment is necessary to determine the effectiveness of teaching learning processes and their internalization by learners
• The scope of evaluation in schools extends to almost all the areas of learners' personality development. It should include both scholastic and co-scholastic areas
