Students of classes 6 to 8 will follow a uniform assessment scheme with a two-semester system including half-yearly and annual examinations.
The assessment, examination, and report card patterns for class 9 students will be similar to that of class 10 Board students.
Every semester, two 10-mark tests or periodic assessments will be conducted for classes 6 to 8. The half-yearly written exam will carry 80 marks.
The NCERT syllabus needs to be followed by schools in the upper primary classes.
Students of classes 6 to 8 will study Mathematics, Science, and Social Science, along with three languages and one other subject.
Annual exams will be based on 2nd half syllabus plus a cumulative % of 1st half: Class VI (10%), Class VII (20%), and Class VIII (30%).
Grading will be carried out separately for scholastic (academic) and non-scholastic (co-curricular) activities.
Non-scholastic activities (Work Ed, Art, Health & PE) will be graded on a 3-point scale based on regularity, participation, output, and teamwork.
Report cards issued by all CBSE schools will need to carry both the logos of the school and the CBSE.
The new report card design for students of classes 6 to 8 and class 9 can be checked in the official circular.
