The four core areas, viz., scholastic (learning by outcomes of children), co-scholastic, infrastructure, and community participation, are evaluated in the Gunotsav exercise. Schools are graded as A+, A, B, C and D on the basis of performance (90% on Scholastic , 5% each on Co-Scholastic & other areas, and Community Participation & Contributions).

This exercise helps in identifying the learning gaps and ensuring that all children take appropriate remedial measures to attain grade specific learning outcomes.
