PROMOTION POLICY PREPARATORY STAGE (III TO V)

PROMOTION POLICY FOR SECONDARY STAGE, GRADES IX AND XI

In the scholastic area, a student needs to secure an overall 33% of marks (from both Pen-Paper Test and Internal Assessment combined) (i.e., D Grade) to pass that subject. Promotion is also subject to the condition that a minimum of 25% of marks must be secured in the Annual Examination.

A student scoring less than 33% (i.e E grade) in more than 2 subjects will be detained. Retest permitted in maximum of 2 subjects only.

If any student fails in any one of the three elective subjects (i.e. Science, Mathematics and Social Science) and passes in the skill subject (offered as 6 additional subject) then that subject will be replaced by skill subject and the result will be computed accordingly.

If a student studies three compulsory subjects i.e., Science, Mathematics and Social Science (Subject 3, 4, 5) and also chooses to study a Skill subject (Subject 6) then the aggregate of best five including two languages (Subject 1 & 2) and the best three (from subject 3, 4, 5 & 6, including Skill subject) can be considered for Calculation of percentage.

Order to be declared Pass in Skill subjects involving practical, a student has to secure 33% marks in practical and theory separately.

It is mandatory for a student to pass in the additional subject in class IX and XI as per passing criteria. For students who are unable to meet the passing criteria, a retest will be scheduled. Failure to fulfill the passing criteria after retest will lead to surrender of the additional subject in Class X and XII.

Re-Examination

A candidate who appears in the Annual Examination can be declared eligible to appear for the Re-Examination in all the failing subject(s). Such a candidate will be eligible to appear in the subject(s) at a subsequent examination, to be held within a period of one month from the date of declaration of the result, known as the “Re-Examination.”

The Distribution of 100 Marks is as follows: -

20 MARKS
PERIODIC TESTS (AVERAGE OF PT-1 AND PT-2)
10 MARKS
RE- EXAMINATION
70 MARKS
TOTAL
100 MARKS

Re-Examination will be conducted on the same syllabus and pattern as of Annual Examination. Weightage of Marks obtained by the student in ReExamination will be proportionately calculated out of 70 marks.

To be declared "Pass" in the re-examination, a student must secure at least 25% marks in the subject(s) in which he/she has taken the re-examination, i.e., 18 marks out of 70, provided that a minimum of 33 marks out of 100 marks are secured in total, i.e., marks of re-examination (70 marks) plus marks obtained in the internal assessment (20 marks)

No benefit of the discretionary grace marks will be given to the student appearingin Re - Examination for the promotion to the next higher class.

Criteria for Essential Repeat:

If a student does not secure at least 25% marks in the subject(s) in which he/she has taken the re-examination and a minimum of 33 out of 100 marks in that subject(s) or does not appear in the re-examination, he/she will be placed in the category of "Essential Repeat" (ER)

A student of Class V who is not eligible for pass, promotion, and is placed in the category of "Essential Repeat" (ER) will be held back in the same class during the next session.
