Class 12 board results to include marks of Classes 9 to 11: NCERT Report
New Delhi: The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has proposed a new evaluation model for Class 12 board exams which would consider students' performance across Classes 9 to 11, alongside vocational and skill-based training.
The report, titled 'Establishing Equivalence across Education Boards,' recommends a grading system where the final Class 12 marks will be weighted as follows: 15% based on performance in Class 9, 20% from Class 10, 25% from Class 11, and the remaining 40% from Class 12.
The report also details the marking scheme for each class. For Class 9, 70% of the marks should come from formative assessments, with 30% from summative assessments. In Class 10, formative and summative assessments will each account for 50% of the marks. Class 11 will weigh formative assessments at 40% and summative assessments at 60%, while Class 12 will have 30% of the marks based on formative assessments and 70% based on summative assessments.
In July, PARAKH (Performance Assessment, Review, and Analysis of Knowledge for Holistic Development) submitted a report to the Union Education Ministry proposing a new assessment model that evaluates students' overall performance in Classes 9, 10, and 11 when preparing their Class 12 results, as reported by Times of India. This new model aims to standardise board evaluations across the country and promote holistic learning.
PARAKH, a regulatory body established by NCERT under the Ministry of Education, has proposed reforms aimed at standardising assessments across educational boards in India. Its recommendations include integrating vocational and skill-based subjects into the curriculum, such as data management, coding, application development, artificial intelligence, music, arts, and crafts.
Additionally, the report emphasises the importance of evaluating teachers' performance and improving school infrastructure. Key recommendations include ensuring the availability of essential facilities such as clean water, well-resourced libraries, and adequate sports amenities to foster a conducive learning environment
