Examinations are held at the end of each term. Continuous assessments of the students are carried on throughout the year. Class tests, home assignments, project works etc. are marked.
A cumulative record of term tests and internal assessment is maintained which is considered for promotion to the next class.
For the purpose of promoting a pupil to the next class level, the year’s record of work will be taken into account along with the marks of the two terminal examinations.
The year’s record of work consists of the following: tests/terminal examinations, day-to-day written work, home assignments, project works, practicals etc.
A total of 35% marks in each subject on the average of the two terminal examinations are necessary for promotion.
As a policy the school does not follow ranking system for any of the examinations. However, proficiency prize will be awarded to students after taking into consideration the entire year’s academic performance.
It is compulsory to pass in English.
The final examination papers will be shown only in extreme cases on special request.
The school follows two terms for the academic evaluation. The per term pattern is as follows.
