BRIDGING LEARNING GAPS, & FACILITATING COMPETENCIES


Evaluation at DPS Bhopal is a continuous & comprehensive process and it is aimed at the identification of the academic problems, followed by solutions. The Foundation Level and Preparatory Level follow the pattern of continuous evaluation which focuses more on grades, outwitting the pressure of marks.  With no provision for formal tests or examinations, the primary thrust is on Weekly assignments and oral tests.  

DPS follows the Weekly Test system, which is held on Tuesdays from Class III upwards, whereas the primary section does not have any formal evaluation. The toddlers are introduced to more formal schooling from class III when they are exposed to paper and pen tests which are conducted throughout the year and the scores are cumulatively assessed. The end of each semester is marked by formal exams, starting from class IV.

The senior years of primary school, transform these young children into academically conscious students who have a term system and are promoted on combined scores of all tests and assignments. The Middle, Secondary and Senior Secondary segments, from class VI to XII follow the line of action laid down by CBSE in accordance with NCERT.

Carefully designed assignments are distributed on a regular basis to reinforce the concepts and assess their understanding. After evaluation and analysis, these are preserved by students as records for reference. A comprehensive system has been devised to trace the performance of each student over the years of his stay at school, which enables the school and the parents to keep a track of the child’s progress.
