CBSE Class 7 Exam Summary

Every school affiliated with the CBSE board analyses the performance and growth of the students by following the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) through Formative Assessments and Summative Assessments (FA and SA) as per the guidelines of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). 

Evaluation is based on three core subjects: Mathematics, Science, Social Science and two language subjects. One of the languages is English, and the other language is optional. The optional language can be any one of the following: Hindi, Sanskrit, Urdu, Regional Language, or Foreign Language.

CBSE also gives equal importance to co-curricular activities. The examination is conducted in two terms. The assessment will be divided into two areas, according to the new pattern. The report card will include marks of both summative and formative assessments.
