National Institute of Open Schooling 14. Measurement and Evaluation 14.0 Introduction Measurement and evaluation is an integral component of any teaching-learning system. The Government of India in 1990 vested with NIOS the authority to examine and certify students up to pre-degree level, and thus, the NIOS became one of the National Boards of Examination. It is the only Board which conducts two full-fledged examinations every year. NIOS has been conducting its public examinations since 1991. In order to measure learner’s achievement and evaluate their performance. It has conducted 39 public examinations upto the year 2009-10. 14.1 Unique Features of the NIOS Examination System • NIOS does not have the infrastructure of its own. It shares the infrastructure and human resources of the institutions established by the public sector and private sector to conduct its examinations without disturbing their academic schedule. • NIOS gives a lot of flexibility to the students in matters related to examination such as (no compulsion of appearing in all the subjects simultaneously) appearing in one or more subjects in the examination as per the convenience, credit accumulation of the passed subjects, nine chances to appear in the public examinations over a period of five years, and transfer of credit of two subjects passed from the other selected boards and up to four subjects from NIOS. • A student is allowed to write answers in the examination in any of the scheduled languages of India even if he/she has not opted for that medium. • On Demand Examination at Secondary level, and Senior Secondary level partially. A student can appear in examination any number of times as per his/her convenience. 14.2 Quality and Standard of the Question Papers In order to provide reliability, validity and credibility to the examination system of NIOS, several in-built checks and balances have been incorporated into the system to ensure quality and standard of the question papers. The question papers were prepared on the basis of the design and blue print developed by the Academic Department and Vocational Education Department of NIOS. The paper setters were provided with the syllabus, study material, sample question papers and designs of question papers in order to facilitate preparation of balanced question papers containing short answer type, very short answer type, essay type and objective type questions based on knowledge, understanding and application skills. The sets of question papers were moderated by the concerned subject experts to ensure that questions were within syllabus; they were neither too tough nor too easy, and the marking scheme was accurate and covered all parts of questions. Like previous year, during 2009-10 also NIOS developed five sets of question papers in all main subjects for Secondary and Sr. Secondary examinations. Question Papers for all the subjects were printed in the identified Confidential Press. These were stored and delivered from the designated Banks/ Treasuries/Police Stations. Besides Hindi and English mediums, the question papers were also developed in Urdu and in other Regional mediums (Telugu, Gujarati, Marathi and Malayalam) for the purpose of conducting public examinations during 2009-10. 14.3 Orientation of the Chief Secrecy Officers and Secrecy Officers In order to achieve the credibility of evaluation process, NIOS keeps the identity of the examinees secret. It hides the names and enrolment numbers of the candidates by allotting them fictitious numbers. These are made available to the concerned secrecy teams only.
