Class 8 students of the Sikkim board are assessed through Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE). In the CCE system, along with the scholastic area, co-scholastic areas are also evaluated. This helps in the overall development of the students. It shifts the exam pattern from a rote learning system to the ability to think critically and application-oriented and problem-solving problems.
Sikkim Board Class 8 follows the NCERT (National Council of Educational Research and Training) curriculum, syllabus, and textbooks as per the recommendations of the National Curriculum Framework 2005.

Parents are the best persons to guide the child since they know the child’s behavior, strong points, and weak points better than anybody else. But due to the busy lifestyle, work pressure, the interaction between parents and child is affected. This is affecting the physical and mental health of some children. Here are a few points which parents must follow for their child’s good upbringing.
Students are promoted from class 8 to class 9 based on their performance in the school-based exam and Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE).
Some of the competitive Olympiad exams in which students from class 8 can appear are:
Competitive Exams | Official Link |
---|---|
International Science Olympiad (ISO) | ISO |
International Maths Olympiad (IMO) | IMO |
English International Olympiad (EIO) | EIO |
General Knowledge International Olympiad (GKIO) | GKIO |
International Computer Olympiad (ICO) | ICO |
International Drawing Olympiad (IDO) | IDO |
National Essay Olympiad (NESO) | NESO |
National Social Studies Olympiad (NSSO) | NSSO |
Some of the competitive exams to which class 8 students can appear are:
Coding:
Coding is an interesting computer language activity where students can put up their creative ideas through different programmes. Along with it, it improves students’ thinking capacity, concentration, joyful learning, active participation in the learning process, etc. It has a great application in Artificial intelligence (AI), Data sciences, Research, etc.
Do It Yourself (DIY):
Here, students learn the concepts through various concepts by themselves by performing various activities. A few of them can be drama, group projects, field trips, performing various activities and experiments, etc. Make the best use of the Embibe App. It provides DIY for different concepts of class 8 to make learning joyful.
Career selection will be in later stages of education, but it is important to inbuilt the various career skills right from schooling. Listening skills, working in diverse environments, communication skills, planning, effective presentation of work, leadership qualities, being emotionally balanced, exploring the knowledge, language skill, computer skills, self-analysis should be taught in school with curricular and co-curricular activities. Various competitions, sports activities, cultural activities, seminars, group discussions help in building these characters.
Knowledge is power. Therefore at the primary education level, students should focus more on gaining knowledge in different fields. It will help the child to select the right career in the future as there is no direct career selection in class 8. After class 10, students can choose different fields like Science, Arts, Commerce, fine arts, sports, etc., as per his/her interest.
