Abstract
Evaluation is an integral part of teaching-learning. Despite this fact, the evaluation system in higher education is beset with some disadvantages. These shortcomings bring about subjectivity and chance factors and ignore higher order thinking amongst students. Also, there is delay in announcing results. Choice Based Credit System has been implemented so as to bring about continuous and comprehensive evaluation but that also is not without defects. Some suggestions for reforming the evaluation system have been mentioned, such as, specific instructions given to the question setters, effective feedback mechanism, setting up of regional level workshops, Examination Reform Units for the Universities, orientation given to teachers on assessment methods.
