Abstract	Assessment in education is a continuous process crucial for evaluating students' performance and ensuring the quality of education. Assessment plays very significant role in determining the quality of education. Holistic assessment, devoid of prejudice, incorporates diverse evidence-based methods, exploring different facets of learning including knowledge, abilities, interests, and attitudes. The assessment should be ongoing and rational. Implementing holistic assessment benefits the students, teachers and stakeholders. Educators should develop courses with diversified teaching and learning materials that enrich students NEP-2020 emphasizes the need for a holistic, multidimensional approach to assessment, advocating for a reformation of progress cards to reflect students' uniqueness comprehensively. This paper discusses the challenges and benefits of implementing holistic assessment in schools, emphasizing the importance of engaging teachers, students, and parents in the assessment process. Furthermore, it underscores the significance of examination reform in fostering academic and intellectual development, as well as the role of parent engagement in improving learning outcomes. Ultimately, the paper calls for a shift in mindset among educators to prioritize true education and the cultivation of independent, critical thinkers. Teachers need to shift their mindset and grasp the essence of authentic education, as well as the significance of reaching the higher levels of Bloom's taxonomy. Schools should recognize that students come to learn, not just to receive grades, and their main role is to nurture critical thinkers who can work together respectfully while taking responsibility for their own growth.
