MN in line with CCE Guidelines

This year, the CBSE has introduced a new framework for assessment—CCE (Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation). This initiative is a bold step to help educators consider all aspects of a children’s personalities in the assessment process. However, the new program brings with it many challenges for principals, teachers, students, and parents.

Jiva is committed to helping educators personalize the learning experience and make programs like CCE easier and more effective. Thus, we are pleased to introduce to you the Multiple Natures Test, a psychometric test that helps identify the true nature of each learner, and identifies what makes learners special.

According to Mr. Vineet Joshi, Chairmain of the CBSE,

“The report card of evaluation should [also] reflect…Life Skills acquisition, personality attributes, behaviour interests, attitudes, values and proficiency in indoor as well as outdoor co-curricular activities. It should facilitate in unravelling the latent talent and reflect a true picture of the growth and profile of a young learner.”

From CCE Teacher’s Manual:
http://www.cbse.nic.in/cce/cce-manual/initial_pages.pdf

We feel the Multiple Natures Test is the most powerful and accurate test in the world to identify students’ personal attributes and behaviour interests.

The CBSE also recommends schools offer psychometric tests to aid the process of knowing students’ natures and helping them select the right classes and streams:

“The schools have been advised to follow multipronged approach for assigning subjects. Aptitude test, scholastic performance, co-scholastic achievements, all need to be given weight age.”

From CCE Frequently Asked Questions Document:
 http://www.cbse.nic.in/cce/faqs_on_CCE.pdf

As such, we are pleased to be in line with the CBSE’s initiative on CCE, and that we may provide this powerful tool that will make your endeavours with CCE more easy, effective and efficient.

 MN Success Story


Mitali Verma
Class 12, Dadri

The Challenge
Born into a family of doctors, Mitali too was expected to follow suit. In fact, her father was pressurizing her to get into the medical field, whereas she was not sure about it.

The Solution
Mitali took the Multiple Natures Test and the report showed up Hospital Administrator as her ideal career option.

Mitali’s strong Administrative Nature and weak Healing Nature proved that she was not cut out for the medical profession.

She was advised to pursue an MBBS and follow that up with a Diploma in Hospital Management. This recommendation was instantly liked by both the parents as well as Mitali.

Mitali says, “My father wanted me to become an MBBS, but I was against it. The option of Hospital Administrator gave me a way out and was connected to my nature. My father is also satisfied with my decision now.”
