20% CBSE Internal Assessment For All Subjects
As said by the secretary of the CBSE, Sir Anurag Tripathi, a 3-hour-long examination at the end of the year cannot judge the actual proficiencies of the students in a true sense. And thus, the secretary added that the CBSE internal assessment should be based on a year-long process. According to the recent policies, 20% of internal assessments will be conducted even in those subjects that do not include practicals. This new experiment will be taken on the basis of NEP and hence the students will be evaluated by their parents, teachers, and peers, and the 20% marks will be allotted on the same basis.
