INTERNAL ASSESSMENT 20 Marks
Mathematics Activities 10 Marks
Distribution of marks under CCE(Besides Mathematics Activities ) 10 Marks
Note: For activities NCERT Lab Manual may be referred.
Conduct of Periodic Tests
1. Periodic Test is a Pen and Paper assessment which is to be conducted by the subject
teacher.
2. In the entire Academic year, three periodic Tests in each subject may be conducted.
3. Once schools complete the conduct of all three periodic tests, they will convert the
weightage of each of the three tests into ten marks each for identifying best two
Page 4
tests. The best two will be taken into consideration and the average of the two shall be
taken as the final marks for PT.
4. The school will ensure simple documentation to keep a record of performance.
Assessment of Activity work:
Time : 2hrs 10 Marks
Throughtout the year any 10 activities shall be performed be the student from the
activities given in the NCERT Laboratory Manual for the respective class (XI or XII) which is
available on the link: http//www.ncert.nic.in/exemplar/labmanuals.html. A record of the same
may be kept by the student. An year end test on the activity may be conducted at the School
Level. The weightage are as under:
The activities and one of the projects performed by the student through out
the year and recordkeeping : 5marks
Assessment of the activity performed during the year end test : 3 marks
Viva-voce : 2 marks
