Why the question NEP 2020’s shift from marks-based evaluation to competency-based assessment and examine institutional reforms needed for continuous feedback-led learning. Key demand of the question The answer must explain the conceptual shift from performance display to outcome demonstration, identify teacher-capability gaps in executing competency assessments, and propose systemic mechanisms for continuous and constructive feedback. Structure of the Answer Introduction Briefly note that NEP 2020 transforms assessment from rote recall and ranking to demonstrable mastery and learning evidence. Body Pedagogical shift: Indicate how learning outcomes replace marks and recall as the primary measure. Teacher gaps: Mention capacity weaknesses in rubric use, analytics interpretation and formative assessment. Continuous feedback: Suggest structured diagnostic cycles, portfolio systems and learning profiles. Conclusion Outcome-based assessment will succeed only if classroom assessment literacy and feedback architecture evolve simultaneously.
