Decision making can be regarded as a
problem- solving activity terminated by a solution
deemed to be optimal or at least satisfactory. It is
therefore a process of choosing what to do by
considering the possible consequences of different
choices. Continuous and Comprehensive evaluation was
a process put into action by the Right to Education Act,
of India. CCE was brought into action to evaluate every
aspect of a student rather than marking him/her on the
basis of only one aspect. The study for the paper was
conducted on a total of 25 professors and 50 students of
universities of Gujarat. For the purpose of the study, 2
structured questionnaires were administered upon the
students and professors. The scale used for this study
was Likert Scale.
The expectation of results from the student’s
perspective draws the inferences that internal
assessment and external assessment both are equally
important. A few new interactive and outcome oriented
techniques like creating analogies, mind mapping,
demonstrations, surveys, etc. should be included into
the assessment system. Some of the students tend to not
take their internals seriously because of the fact that
they haven’t attended classes and don’t have a grip on
the concepts, which in turn, results in them failing. To
know the view point of students and professors, they
were asked about their current internal assessment
system and how the professors can include new
strategies to make the assessment fun and outcome
oriented. From the study that was conducted,
inferences can be drawn that internal assessment and
external assessment are an essential aspect to
understand the student’s involvement in education
during higher studies and also that the internal
assessment system should be modified.
