The school follows the system laid down by the CBSE Board, New Delhi.

Here, the CCE system (continuous And Comprehensive   Evaluation) is implemented, under which promotion is based on day - to – day activity of the children throughout the year, and their performance in the terminal exams also. The children’s are given grade instead of marks.

The children are tested in a host of modes ; written tests, observation, questioning techniques, quizzing, seminars, group discussions, orals, class work, homework, project work, interviews, practical’s, etc and their overall performance is rated.

Under the next phases of assessment, the children are tested for co-scholastic abilities like Life skill, Social and emotional skills, moral values, school program, environment, sports and club activities. Here also grading is given.

The final grading is awarded after taking the performance of the child in all the above categories and the main exams put together. Hence, it can be seen that the CBSE does not follow just pen – paper exam evaluation, but aims at a comprehensive assessment system.
