The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has proposed a new evaluation approach for the Class 12 board exams. According to NCERT Parakh's latest report, the evaluation for Class 12 will be based on the student's performance in three classes (9-11), as well as vocational and skill-based training. PARAKH published a paper titled 'Establishing Equivalence among Education Boards,' which proposes the inclusion of aggregate performance criteria for pupils in grades 9-11. The evaluation will comprise 15% from Class 9, 20% from Class 10, 25% from Class 11, and the remaining 40% from Class 12.
The report highlights the marking scheme to be followed from Class 9 to Class 12. In Class 9, 70 per cent marking should be based on formative assessment and 30 per cent from summative assessments; in Class 10, an equal weightage of 50-50 per cent is given to formative and summative assessment; Class 11 will include 40 per cent from formative and 60 per cent from summative assessments while Class 12 assessment will be based on 30 per cent from formative and 70 per cent from summative assessments.
ARAKH (Performance Assessment, Review, and Analysis of Knowledge for Holistic Development) is a regulatory centre set up by NCERT, to the Ministry of Education. The body earlier also advocated for a standardized assessment approach across all educational boards in India. It recommended making vocational and skill-based subjects such as Data Management, Coding, Application Development, Artificial Intelligence, Music, Arts, and Crafts in the curriculum.
The report also recommended the need to weigh teachers' performance and enhance school infrastructure. This includes ensuring the availability of water, well-resourced libraries, and adequate sports facilities to create a conducive learning environment.
