Background Note
a
NEP 2020 envisions a transformation in school assessment, away from rote
memorization towards formative, regular, competency-based evaluation that tests
higher-order thinking like analysis, critical thinking, and conceptual understanding
NCFSE 2023 builds on that vision and emphasizes “assessment as learning”,
“for learning”, and “of learning” which are oriented towards competencies and
capacities development in the learners.

m
Competency-Based Assessments under NEP 2020 and NCFSE 2023 are a

.co
reformative thrust toward holistic, skills-based, student-cantered learning. Through
m

ongoing formative checks, diverse assessment modes, rubrics, self-reflection, and
board-level flexibility, the new paradigm seeks to nurture critical thinkers rather

than rote learners.

assessment frameworks, helping teachers design questions that test learners beyond
their conceptual understanding and to help in assessing their higher-order reasoning
and application capacities and skills.
Furthermore, these sample questions can serve as tools for teachers for test
planning, question framing, and assessing higher-order skills. Besides this is will also
