Comprehensive Evaluation for IIT

Mohammed Younus :

Educationists and academicians bat for the better implementation of the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) in the State to increase the number of students in IITs from Telangana.

-The Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation pattern of education was adopted by the State School Education Department last year,after a series of consultations and brainstorming sessions. The first batch of SSC students has even attempted their final examination as per this programme

-The method of teaching involves analysis of learning levels of students. This helps students think analytically and understand the subject rather memorising the notes

The CCE pattern of education was adopted by the State School Education Department last year after a series of consultations and brainstorming sessions. The first batch of SSC students has even attempted their final examination as per this programme. The educationists say that the concept of CCE has been derived from the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) which also conducts the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) for admissions into Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) besides other national institutes.

Better implementation of the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) pattern in the schools can groom the students at a younger age to be able to qualify for the highly competitive examinations across the country, said an IIT trainer Pawan Kumar Kasu. He said that the method of teaching adopted by the educators involves analysis of learning levels of the students. This helps students think analytically and understand the subject rather memorising the notes.

On the other hand, students would understand the core of the subject beyond mere headlines or title of the subjects. He said that there were so many similarities between CCE and JEE examination, the pattern of questions in both the examinations is very much similar. “With the help of CCE it has become very easy for the students who want to go for IITs these days because the students are taught in this pattern from the 6th standards that is sufficient for students to become competent enough for JEE examination by the time they reach higher classes”, said Pawan.

Similarly, it is to be reminded that the central government has recently mandated all the State boards to strictly follow the guidelines prepared by the National Council for Education, Research and Training (NCERT). Though there have been a difference of opinion on this issue but several academicians have termed it a good move for promoting quality education. State Council for Education, Research and Training (SCERT) Prof K Krishnamohan Rao said that the CCE module of teaching was prepared in light of the guidelines of the NCERT.
