Page 5 - EVALUATION ENGLISH

Foreword

As part of ongoing Quality Mandate initiatives, UGC constituted a Committee
to suggest reforms in the current evaluation system. The Committee, after due
deliberations, consultations and incorporating the suggestions received from
stakeholders, has come out with a report on Evaluation Reforms. It is a matter
privilege to present this report “Evaluation Reforms in Higher Education
Institutions” to the academic fraternity.

The report emphasizes the fact that to accomplish meaningful learning, evaluation

should be linked to ‘Learning Outcomes’ and ‘Institutional goals’. The essence
of the report is that the assessment process should test the learning outcomes,
knowledge gained, attitudes developed and skills mastered by a student during
an academic programme.It intends to promote ‘student centric learning’ by
reforming the existing evaluation system in the Higher Education Institutions,
with ‘continuous evaluation’ of students’ performance.

I take this opportunity to thank the Chairman and members of the Committee

for their time and valuable inputs based on their expertise which has resulted in
this important document.

I request Vice-Chancellors of all Universities and other academic fraternity to
take necessary steps for implementation of the recommendations contained in
the report on Evaluation Reforms.
