The pattern of examination for class IX will be similar to that of class X with only one exam at the end of the academic year. Out of a total of 100 marks, 80 marks have been assigned to written exams while the remaining 20 have been divided between three disciplines:      

Grades 9 and 10 – Whole Syllabus 

1. Periodic tests (10 marks),  2. Notebook submission (5 marks)  3. Subject Enrichment Activity (5 marks).

b. For classes VI to VIII

So, students of these classes will have to appear for exams twice a year, i.e., at the end of each Term. While questions in the Term 1 exam will be based on the syllabus covered during that term, a certain percentage of questions in the Term 2 exam will be based on the Term 1 syllabus. 

Grade 6 – 10% of Term 1

Grade 7 – 20% of Term 1

Grade 8 – 30% of Term 1

c. For classes I to V

Classes I to V will have the same format of assessment. A class year has been divided into two terms. Students of these classes will have to appear for exams twice a year, i.e. end of each Term. Questions in Term 1 and 2 will be based on the syllabus covered during that term.
