PROMOTION POLICY AS PER CBSE GUIDELINES
A new Assessment policy has been implemented by CBSE. This new scheme will bring uniformity in the system of assessment and examination for classes IX and X in all CBSE affiliated schools.
To increase 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 students move forward. This would prepare students to cover the whole syllabus of 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 should be based on students’ ability, academic performance and attendance.
