even if reply is not from marking scheme but correct competency is enumerated by the

evaluation shall be given only after ensuring that there is no significant variation in the
marking of individual evaluators.

5. Evaluators will mark (√) wherever answer is correct. For wrong answer ‘X” be marked.
Evaluators will not put right kind of mark while evaluating which gives an impression that
answer is correct and no marks are awarded. This is most common mistake which
evaluators are committing.

6. If a question has parts, please award marks on the right-hand side for each part. Marks
awarded for different parts of the question should then be totaled up and written in the left-
hand margin and encircled. This may be followed strictly.

11. Every examiner has to necessarily do evaluation work for full working hours i.e., 8 hours
every day and evaluate 30 answer books per day in main subjects and 35 answer books
per day in other subjects (Details are given in Spot Guidelines). This is in view of the
reduced syllabus and number of questions in question paper.

 Wrong transfer of marks from the answer book to online award list.
 Answers marked as correct, but marks not awarded. (Ensure that the right tick mark is
correctly and clearly indicated. It should merely be a line. Same is with the X for
incorrect answer.)
 Half or a part of answer marked correct and the rest as wrong, but no marks awarded.

13. While evaluating the answer books if the answer is found to be totally incorrect, it should
be marked as cross (X) and awarded zero (0) Marks.

14. Any unassessed portion, non-carrying over of marks to the title page, or totaling error
detected by the candidate shall damage the prestige of all the personnel engaged in the
evaluation work as also of the Board. Hence, in order to uphold the prestige of all
concerned, it is again reiterated that the instructions be followed meticulously and
judiciously.

15. The Examiners should acquaint themselves with the guidelines given in the Guidelines for

17. The Board permits candidates to obtain photocopy of the Answer Book on request in an
RTI application and also separately as a part of the re-evaluation process on payment of
