Schools will conduct the examinations at their own level for those subjects for which examination dates have not been released. Along with the exam dates, the Directorate of Education has also issued guidelines to the schools. The directorate has advised schools not to make seating arrangements for more than 24 students in an examination room.
Evaluation work will be done in four working days
The evaluation will be done in four working days. After evaluation, the subject teachers will discuss the question paper with the children. Schools have been asked to point out the mistakes made by the children during the discussion along with correct and ideal answers. The teacher of the concerned subject should explain in detail to the entire class the mistakes made by most of the children, so that the children do not repeat those mistakes in the board exams.
Will help in better preparations
Common Pre-Board Examination is conducted in schools for better preparation for the board examination. For this, question papers are prepared by the Directorate and sent to schools. These question papers are prepared on the basis of CBSE exam pattern so that the preparation of students can be similar to the board exams. Private schools also conduct pre-board examinations at their own level.
