Promotion Policy

In our school assessments are done for learning and learning is not done for assessments. Students are assessed in scholastic and co -scholastic areas throughout the year. The progress of the student is judged through continuous academic performance during the year and comprehensive evaluation.

CBSE Guidelines

A new Assessment policy has been implemented by CBSE. This new scheme will bring the uniformity in the system of assessment and examination for classes IX and X in all the CBSE affiliated schools.

To increase the confidence in the students to start preparing for class X Board examination the scheme for classes VI-VIII has been designed on Term Assessment basis with gradual increase in the learning as the students move forward. This would prepare the students to cover the whole syllabus of the academic year and face the challenge of class X Board examination, and would thus, ensure the ‘quality of education’.

The promotion of student from one grade to another is based on students’ ability, academic performance and attendance.

Class VI-VIII

As far as overall assessment of a student for the purpose of promotion to next class is concerned, the following points will be adhered to:

1. Each student is required to get a qualifying grade ‘D’ or above in all the subjects in the Scholastic Area.
2. If a student does not secure grade D in the annual examination, he shall be granted opportunity for improvement test within a period of two months from the date of declaration of the result of such annual examination. He will have to score qualifying grade D in all the subjects.
3. Admission to class IX in a school shall be given to such a student who has passed class VIII examination with minimum grade ‘D’ in all scholastic subjects.
4. If a student of grade VIII scores less than grade D in the improvement test, the school has to detain that child in eighth class.
5. A student must attended school with minimum 85% attendance to be eligible for promotion to the next higher grade.

For Class VIII

There will be an annual examination in the VIII class at the end of the academic year, which will be conducted as a part of the other examinations being conducted in the school during the academic year.

If a student fails in the annual examination, he/she will be given additional instructions and granted opportunity for re-examination within a period of two months from the date of declaration of the result of the annual examination.

If the student fails in the re-examination and secures less than 33% marks in any subject in the annual examination, the student will be detained in the class VIII.
