The prescribed syllabus of Class IX for the Session 2013-2014 in the Secondary Curriculum Document 2015 states that the question paper will include a section on Open Text Based Assessment (2 questions of 7 marks each). But the new material shows that the Question paper will contain 2 questions of 5 marks each i.e. the total of 10 marks. Now out of these, which one is required to be followed by the schools?
As per Circular No. 53 dated 8th August, 2013, the question papers in main subjects at Summative Assessment II will be of 90 marks (in English, of 70 marks + 20 marks for ASL) based on prescribed syllabus and question paper design.
(ii) The question paper in each main subject will have a separate section of 10 marks for Open-Text-based Assessment (OTBA). The schools have been asked to follow the instruction given in that Circular.
