Academic Policy

We have 6 Pen-paper assessments (PPA) or exams for the students in a year, i.e four Periodic tests (PTs), one Half yearly exam and one Annual exam. We have two periodic tests in first term (Apr-Sept) and two in the second term (Oct-Feb).

Half yearly exams will be held in the month of September or October and the Annuals will be held in the month of February or March.

Along with the PPA, we also have skill based assessments for the students which carry marks and also add to the gross marking and calculation of grades.

Students are also marked on-

1. The neatness as well as maintenance of their respective class notebooks.
2. Completion and submission of their weekly VAK worksheets.

Date sheets and syllabus will be provided well in advance. No re-tests will be taken for the absentees for the exams.

Policy on Skill-Based Assessments

Every subject has its own criteria and activities for developing the students’caliber in that particular area of knowledge.

For PTs oral inventories are of 20 marks and for half yearly or annual it is of 50 marks.

These activities are completed during the classes only to judge students’ knowledge and skills properly in stress free manner.
