Abstract Education is a process of acquiring necessary knowledge, attitude, wisdom and skills that are essential for the development of individual and that of the nation. The purpose of education is to acquire knowledge that will make an individual live successfully. An important programme for achieving effective education is the curriculum. Curriculum is a planned, organised learning opportunities meant to be imparted to the learners under the guidance of the school in order to bring about the desirable change in the learner�s behaviour. It is the body of knowledge developed to guide the teachers and the learners to achieve the goals of education. However, to achieve the learning opportunities, the curriculum is broken down into objective, content, learning experience and evaluation. All these are carefully selected. The objective is the statement of intended learning outcome out of which content would be selected to be able to organise the learning experience and then evaluation. This is done to meet the aspiration of the society, but an evaluation has to be built into the whole process. Apart from this, the curriculum itself needs to be evaluated. Therefore, the study examined the place of evaluation in the curriculum process. It was revealed that evaluation form an integral part of the curriculum process and it is meant to place value on the worth of the curriculum to know whether the curriculum is achieving the purpose. Also, making consent evaluation of the curriculum will enable the curriculum planners in achieving educational goals.
