IVWS will follow the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) System advocated by CBSE. A brief explanation is given below about the CCE System.
Pre-primary- the children of Pre-primary will be guided the best way possible to learn through multiple activities and from time to time they will be assessed based on their day to day performance in the class, oral work, worksheets and through other activities. So there is no formal examination.
Primary- Students of primary (grade I to V) do not have any formal examinations. As and when the teachers complete a portion of any lesson, a test may be taken using different tools like written tests, projects, oral speech, debates, quiz etc.
Grade (VI to X)- the academic year of grade VI to IX is divided into two terms. Term I is from April to September, and term II is from October to March. There will be two Summative Assessments (SA) / Examinations of 80 marks for each subject, in a year, and two Formative Assessments each before SA1 and SA2. Formative Assessments will be taken using multiple tools such as written tests, assignments, projects, quiz, oral test, comprehensions, debate, elocution, exhibition, skits etc. From each assessment a certain percentage will be taken which will add up to 100 percent at the end of the year and an overall grade will be shown in the report card. (Details of the CCE system can be downloaded from the CBSE Website).
There will be four Parent-Teacher meetings in a year. However, Report Cards will be issued only twice in a year, after SA1 and SA2. Promotion to the next class is earned based on their continuous performance. So it is imperative that students participate in every activity, competitions, project works, quiz etc.
