Abstract
Evaluation in Indian schools, across assortments of
examination boards and subjects, I contend, are
basically meant to be a formality where the concerns
of ensuring better pass percentages appear paramount.
Second, the overriding evaluation criteria appears to be
governed more by psychological concerns of minimizing stress
and fear of exams than the need of testing understanding
and skills. And by evaluation I refer both to the process of
setting a test/examination paper and its assessment where,
either marks or grades are awarded.
