No, the Summative Assessments-II (SA-II) conducted by the school (School conducted) and conducted by the Board (Board conducted) will be similar. Both will be :
1. Based on same syllabus prescribed for Term II only,
2. Carry the same weightage of 40% towards final grade,
3. Based on the same types of question papers in term of question paper design, blue print and difficulty level.
4. Evaluated on the basis of similar marking schemes prepared by the Board.
(I) Both the School conducted SA-II and Board conducted SA-II will be based on the question papers sent/vetted by the Board.
(ii) The students appearing in the School conducted SA-II will be assessed by the schools themselves and their answer books will be randomly verified by the Board.
However, the students appearing in the Board conducted SA-II will be assessed by the External Examiners as has been the practice in the past for Board Examinations.
