CISCE Opens SHINE 2026 Registration for Digital Student Assessment
CISCE has started signing schools up for a programme called SHINE 2026.
SHINE is a digital system that checks how students are learning.
It is meant to help teachers understand what students do well and where they need help.
Students in Classes 4, 6 and 9 are expected to take part.
Their work will be compared with learning goals for earlier stages.
Class 4 students will complete a game-based assessment, while Classes 6 and 9 will use digital assessments.
The evaluations are planned for November 15 to November 30, 2026.
CISCE says the programme supports the National Education Policy 2020 and looks beyond only yearly exams.
CISCE began registration for the SHINE 2026 digital assessment programme on August 21.
SHINE stands for Student Holistic Insight and Nurturing Evaluation.
Assessments will involve students in Classes 4, 6 and 9, evaluating competencies expected after Classes 3, 5 and 8.
Evaluations are scheduled from November 15 to November 30, 2026, using age-appropriate digital formats.
The programme follows a pilot involving around one lakh students from 273 schools across India.
