• Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) refers to a school-based evaluation, which covers all aspects of school activities related to a child's development.

• It emphasizes two-fold objectives such as continuity of evaluation and assessment of learning outcomes in a comprehensive manner.

• It is a continuous evaluation of the learner's abilities.

• It covers all the domains of learning i.e. cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. So it is universal.

• It treats evaluation as a developmental process.

• In CCE, students' performance in both scholastic and co-scholastic activities is assessed.

• It has a durational aspect as it gives some specific time to complete the test or exam.
