As published on NDTV, the official notification of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) says that the decision of the board on uniform assessment system for classes 6,7 and 8 along with their examination and the report card were rejected. In fact a circular regarding this was also passed, which mentioned about measures for increasing the confidence among students of class 10 for starting their preparation right from the day when they will reach the upper primary class i.e from 6 standard. It was on similar lines that the CBSE took the decision of implementing the uniform evaluation system during the examination of students studying in classes 6, 7 and 8 along with their an amendment in the report card.
Now on the recommendation of the NCPCR, the uniform assessment system for the evaluation of the students’ performance in the examination has been quashed out and completely withdrawn by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).
