1. Weightage = Total marks/Number of teaching hours = 115/120 = 0.96 (i.e., 0.96marks for each hour)
2. Choice = out of 52 Questions only 37 Questions are to be answered.
Note: T = Theory; NP = Numerical Problems; VSA = Very Short Answer (MCQ’s and Fill in the Blanks); SA= Short Answer; LA = Long Answer

GENERAL GUIDE LINES:
1. Questions should not be vague and ambiguous. Answers should be available in the prescribed NCERT text book or based on the contents in the prescribed
text book.
2. Intermixing of questions of different units is not allowed. 5 marks question may be framed as (3+2) as far as possible.
3. Avoid questions from:
a. Drawings involving 3D diagrams
b. The boxed materials with deep yellow bar in the text book are to bring additional life to the topic and are non-evaluative.
4. Questions on numerical data given in the form of appendix, numbered tables containing experimental data and life history of scientists given in the chapters
should be avoided.
5. Frame the questions in such a way to strictly avoid ½ mark evaluation (or avoid value points for ½ marks.).
6. While framing Physical chemistry units (Unit 1, 2 3 & 4) questions for Part -A, B and C should not be Numerical problems. The Numerical Problems of
these Units should be framed only in Part-E. This division is done to make for the students to learn and attempt to solve the Numerical Problems.
7. Application and HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills) questions can be selected from any chapter without changing the weightage of the chapter.
