Examinations

The school conducts four Formative Assessments (FA) and two Summative Assessments (SA) during one academic session. One must not be absent from any of these except for serious health reasons. Request for such absence must be supported by medical certificate. These tests cannot be deferred or anticipated to suit individual convenience. No re-examination will be conducted in any subject.

Parents are welcome to consult the subject teachers to make out the defects and common mistakes committed by their children in the answer scripts on the Parent-Teacher Interaction Day. Further query and discussion is allowed only with the permission of Principal. Answer sheets of the final examination will not be sent home.

Promotions

Promotion depends on the marks scored in each Formative and Summative Assessment and also on internal assessment based on attendance, project work, homework, class work, composition, general discipline, co-curricular activities etc.,
Students who cannot secure a promotion due to the inability to study the subjects in English Medium may be asked to leave the school. The decision of the Principal will be final in this matter.
To avoid unhealthy competition among the students to secure a particular rank and to broaden their outlook it has been decided that the students will be awarded ‘grades’ instead of ‘ranks’ in the various examinations conducted by the school.
A student who fails twice in the same class will not be permitted to continue his/her studies in the school.
A student absent in any examination will be considered as failed. In case of illness, a doctor’s certificate must be produced for the consideration of the matter.
No special examination will be held for any reason whatsoever either before or after the time fixed for the examination in usual cases.
A student found copying or helping others to copy during an examination will be disqualified in that subject. Such a student is liable for expulsion from the school.
Those who fail in the Board Examination will not be permitted to repeat the class, exceptions if any will be at the discretion of the principal.
