CBSE practical exam guidelines

“The CBSE has a prescribed subject wise curriculum and most of the subjects contain 2 or 3 assessment components - theory and practical, project, internal assessment. The curriculum also contains a breakup of the maximum marks for the theory question paper and practical,” the board said.

The marks in respect of all practical examinations will be uploaded simultaneously, starting from the dates of conduct of exams. “The uploading of marks shall be completed by the last date of respective classes. No extension of the dates shall be considered by the Board,” it said.

“Students found guilty of communicating or attempting to communicate with examiners with the objective of influencing them in any way whatsoever or using any other undesirable means for taking undue advantage during exams/assessments will be deemed to have used/attempted unfair means,” the board said.

The CBSE asked examiners to immediately report to the respective regional office in case students are found using unfair means. Similarly, the examiners should not reveal the marks secured in the practical exams as it has the same sanctity as that of the annual theory exam.

Schools have been directed to immediately contact the regional office in case names of the students are missing in the list.
