I do not have the experience of the class 10th board exams neither of the new CCE system. Of course! I am just promoted to class 9th , so what the hell do I know about any of these exams.
Yeah! As I wrote in the above statement I do not have the experience of class 10th but I know some of it as I have seen my sister following the new CCE pattern in class 10th during this year (2010-11) .It seems to me to be same as our usual class 6th to 9th exams , because they also had the same system of the regular weekly tests and the mid-term and the annual exams.
I have not come to the main topic yet!
In the previous years , when CCE was not introduced I saw the tenthies of my school whiling away time in school grounds. They looked like free birds who did not have any burden of studies on them. But this long break was enjoyed by them until the fierce winter months from september or october arrived (Once again! I don't have the exact idea). It looked as if the FREE BIRDS had been PERMANENTLY LOCKED in their cages . These cages were not of metal or gold or silver ... but it was the cage enclosed by the walls of books and notebooks. They were all busy dumping their heads in the study material and were hardly seen playing or enjoying.
After one year of the CCE system's introduction has gone, I have noticed that the tenthies are in less pressure than the board examination season but do not enjoy the new system of CCE either. The whole year is spent in tension of the exams occuring in every 7 days of the whole year approximately. One exam past, tension for the new one - this is the most negative factor of the CCE system. Some of them prefer to follow the old rule but some schools do not offer the old board examination system but only follow the present system of CCE. These students prefer to complete the thing in ONE GO.
Now there is Less pressure ! Reduced course (for 1 particular examination)! But for more time!
This shows that
there are no roses without thorns.
Regarding the grading system , I would like to say that it is beneficial for the one who scores 90% and a great disappointment for the one scoring a hundred. Both stand the same in the view of the CCE. Both get an A1 for their score and so the actual difference of intelligence is not seen between the two people. It might be the person with the hundred works for 20000 per month
whereas the one who scored 90% works for a lakh.
So now I have my final conclusion about the CCE :-
Though it a new system and I have no experience of it so I can't give the exact statement but in my opinion the CCE is a great benifit for some and not that good for the others. I am neither against nor in favour of the new system.
