Traditional assessment methods in Indian engineering colleges, particularly summative evaluations like final exams, often limit student engagement and timely feedback. This paper explores formative assessment as a more effective alternative that supports continuous feedback, encourages active learning, and nurtures a growth mindset. Conducted using secondary data from academic sources, the study highlights the benefits of formative assessment, such as improved learning outcomes, and identifies challenges including large class sizes, faculty readiness, and institutional barriers. It proposes solutions like faculty training, digital tool integration, and curricular reforms. The adoption of formative assessments can shift engineering education towards a more student-focused model, enhancing both academic performance and learner engagement.
