Assessment at our school is continuous, comprehensive, and designed to support student growth in every dimension – intellectual, emotional, physical, cultural, and social. We follow CBSE’s guidelines to maintain fairness and uniformity across grades.
We follow Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) in the primary years. Students are assessed through projects, discussions, skill-based activities, and observations to ensure holistic development.
The academic year is divided into two terms. Each term concludes with an examination based on the syllabus covered, with Term 2 including some questions from Term 1 to encourage retention. Periodic tests, notebook work, and enrichment activities add to the overall assessment.
Students appear for a single annual examination at the end of the year, following the CBSE Uniform Assessment guidelines. Written examinations carry 80% weightage, with the remaining 20% distributed across periodic tests (10 marks), notebook submission (5 marks), and subject enrichment activities (5 marks).
For Classes XI and XII, the evaluation focuses on a 100-mark total per subject, split into a theory exam (80 marks) and a practical or internal assessment (20 marks). According to recent updates, the question papers now feature 50% competency-based questions—such as MCQs and case studies—to test application-based learning rather than rote memorization.
