The first Summative Assessment (SA-I) for this term for Classes IX and X is scheduled to be conducted in the second half of September, 2012.

2.         Under the School Based Summative Assessment-I, the students will be tested internally based on the following criteria:

a)    Syllabus and design of the Examination Question Papers in different subjects for Classes IX and X Summative Assessment(s) will be the same as circulated by the Board.

b)   As was done earlier, the Summative Assessment-I will be in the form of a pen and paper test conducted by the schools themselves.

c)    In order to ensure standards, the Question Paper Bank in different subjects would be sent by the Boards so as to reach the schools well in time.

d)   Evaluation of answer scripts will be done by the school teachers themselves on the basis of the Marking Scheme provided by the Board. The school may use the Sahodaya School Cluster for spot evaluation so that teachers from other schools are also involved, if they so wish.
