As per NEP 2020
Jnan Jyoti Educational Institution
At Jnan Jyoti, we embrace the vision of the National Education Policy 2020, which promotes a shift from rote learning to competency-based education focused on the development of critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication skills.
Our Promotion & Assessment Policy is rooted in continuous, comprehensive, and inclusive evaluation methods, ensuring every child receives an opportunity to grow holistically.
We implement Holistic Progress Cards that reflect students' growth in cognitive (academic), affective (emotional and social), and psychomotor (skills and physical) domains.
Assessment includes academic performance, values, life skills, attitudes, and participation in sports, arts, and community activities.
| Stage | Classes | Assessment Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Foundational | Pre-KG to Grade 2 | Play-based, observational, activity-focused assessments |
| Preparatory | Grades 3 to 5 | Informal tests, quizzes, projects, oral/written expression |
| Middle | Grades 6 to 8 | Experiential learning, concept understanding, interdisciplinary approach |
| Secondary | Grades 9 to 12 | Competency-based exams, critical thinking, and application skills |
No Rote Learning: Promotion is not based solely on marks but on competency achievement and learning outcomes.
Continuous Evaluation: Students are assessed throughout the year using various tools—written tests, projects, peer reviews, self-assessment, and teacher feedback.
Supportive Remediation: Students not meeting expected learning levels are given additional support before re-assessment.
No Detention Policy (Grades 1–8): In line with NEP and RTE Act, we promote all students up to Grade 8 while providing continuous support for improvement.
Formative Assessments (FAs): Daily classroom activities, discussions, worksheets, group work
Summative Assessments (SAs): Periodic exams to assess comprehensive understanding
Portfolio-Based Assessment: Collection of student work over time
Peer & Self-Assessment: Encourages reflection and responsibility for learning
Tech-Enabled Tools: Where applicable, we use digital platforms for quizzes, feedback, and tracking progress
Holistic Report Cards are shared twice a year, covering:
Academic achievements
21st-century skills (problem-solving, communication, collaboration)
Well-being and socio-emotional development
Regular Parent-Teacher Meetings (PTMs) and digital updates ensure transparent communication with families.
Assessments are child-friendly, stress-free, and adaptable to individual learning styles.
Special needs students are assessed with modified tools based on their Individual Education Plans (IEPs).
Multilingual assessments are encouraged where feasible, promoting the child’s mother tongue/local language.
All faculty are regularly trained in:
Competency-based learning and assessments
Designing rubric-based evaluations
Identifying and supporting diverse learning needs
At Jnan Jyoti, we aim to create lifelong learners who are confident, competent, and compassionate. Our assessment system is not just a tool for grading, but a process of growth, reflection, and transformation—aligned with the true spirit of NEP 2020.
