It is the collection, analysis and interpretation about any aspects of a programme of education and training as part of a recognized process of judging its effectiveness. Evaluation is defined as an attempt to understand what is going on to judge its worth and make decisions about it. One can add many more reasons for doing evaluation. It is not just for measuring students learning at the end of a course. Tests are useful in diagnosis, prediction, selection, grading, guidance, self- correction, etc. There is internal as well as external evaluation in most educational institutions.&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;&#10;text-indent:.5in;line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:&#10;150%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
