Exam Promotion Policy

1. Evaluation Approach

Nursery to Class V (Primary)

• Continuous & Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) is followed throughout the year.

• Student performance is assessed on the basis of classroom activities, weekly/periodic tests, participation, and overall growth.

• A five-point grading scale (A*, A, B, C, D) is used.

• A minimum grade of ‘D’ is required for promotion.

• Promotion is based on the overall performance of the student for the entire academic year.

2. Evaluation & Promotion Criteria (Class VI to VIII)

1. The academic year is divided into two terms:

   • Term I (Half-Yearly)

   • Term II (Annual)
     Both include Internal Assessment (20 marks) and Exams (80 marks).

2. Internal Assessment (20 marks per term) includes:

   • Periodic Tests – 10 marks

   • Subject Enrichment Activities (projects, practicals, etc.) – 5 marks

   • Notebook submission – 5 marks

3. Examinations (80 marks per term) cover:

   • Syllabus carefully planned so that:

     • Class VI: Annual exam covers 60% syllabus

     • Class VII: Annual exam covers 70% syllabus

     • Class VIII: Annual exam covers 80% syllabus

4. Marks from internal assessments and exams are added to form a 100 marks total per term.

5. To be eligible for promotion, a student must score at least 33% marks (minimum passing grade) in both terms in each subject.

6. If a student does not meet the minimum grade in any subject, a Grade Improvement Test (GIT) is conducted for final promotion.

3. Co-Scholastic Areas & Discipline

1. For classes up to VIII, students are also assessed in co-scholastic areas such as:

   • Work Education

   • Art Education

   • Health & Physical Education
     These areas are graded on a five-point scale (A to E).

2. Discipline Assessment (20 marks) includes:

   • Attendance – 10 marks

   • Sincerity – 5 marks

   • Behaviour & Values – 5 marks

4. Attendance Requirement

• Students must maintain minimum required attendance to be eligible for promotion.

• Attendance is part of the discipline assessment and influences final evaluation.

5. General Rules

1. Promotion is granted based on the overall academic performance during the session.

2. Periodic tests and final answer sheets are shown to parents for transparency.

3. Students are expected to be in proper school uniform during all exams.

4. Any act of cheating may lead to zero marks in that subject or further disciplinary action as per school policy.
