shall be given only after ensuring that there is no significant variation in the marking of
individual evaluators.
6 Evaluators will mark( √ ) wherever answer is correct. For wrong answer CROSS ‘X’ be
marked. Evaluators will not put right (✓)while evaluating which gives an impression that
answer is correct and no marks are awarded. This is most common mistake which
evaluators are committing.

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.

every day and evaluate 20 answer books per day in main subjects and 25 answer books
per day in other subjects (Details are given in Spot Guidelines).This is in view of the

is correctly and clearly indicated. It should merely be a line. Same is with the X for

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