Exams/Prelims

1. There will be two semesters in an academic year, and examinations will be held at the end of the portion covered in each standard during the respective semester. The First Semester Examination will be held in October and the Second Semester Examination in April. Besides these two semester examinations, marks for unit tests, classwork, homework, oral examinations, and practical work will also be considered to encourage regular study habits. The performance of a pupil is judged on progress throughout the year and not on any single examination. Hence, all examinations and tests carry equal importance. A pupil must obtain a minimum of 35% marks in each subject, considering both semester examinations and unit tests, to pass. The rules of condonation prescribed by the Government will be followed.

2. Absence from the whole examination will result in complete loss of marks.

3. Absence from one or more subjects will result in loss of marks for those subjects and will exclude the pupil from any award, prize, or ranking in the order of merit.

4. Pupils absent from any examination for any reason will not be re-examined. Absence without a valid and serious reason will be treated as failure.

5. Wilful breach of any examination regulation is punishable with expulsion from the examination room or, if detected later, cancellation of the paper.

6. Applications for verification must be made to the school authorities. Answer papers will not be shown to students or parents.

7. The results of examinations are final and will not be reconsidered.

8. A pupil who fails consecutively twice in the same standard may be asked to leave the school.

9. A pupil using unfair means during tests/examinations will receive zero in that subject and will be debarred from the remaining examinations. Repetition of unfair practices will lead to expulsion from the school.
