SA1 & SA 2 WILL GET EQUAL WEIGHTAGE OF 50% EACH

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided to revise the weightage of marks assigned to formative and summative assessments in Class X from the next academic session.
The Board will give equal weightage to both the summative assessments (SA 1 and SA2), i.e. 30 per cent of the total weightage.
When HRD Minister Kapil Sibal had introduced the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) in Class IX in October 2009, which was later extended to Class X, the weightage given to SA1 and SA2 was 20 and 40 per cent respectively. However, the Board has now asked all its affiliated schools to give 30 per cent weightage to both the summative assessments.

Nevertheless, the Board has said the previous weightage system would continue for candidates who appear for Class X next year.
According to the CCE scheme, an academic session was divided into two terms and both the terms had two formative assessments (FA) and one summative assessment (SA). Earlier, the two terms used to carry a weightage of 40 and 60 per cent respectively. But now, after the new announcement made by the CBSE, the two terms will get equal weightage of 50 per cent each.
