Marking Scheme – Science (SUBJECT CODE -086)
General Instructions: -
1. You are aware that evaluation is the most important process in the actual and correct assessment of the
candidates. A small mistake in evaluation may lead to serious problems which may affect the future of the
candidates, education system and teaching profession. To avoid mistakes, it is requested that before starting
evaluation, you must read and understand the spot evaluation guidelines carefully.
2. “Evaluation policy is a confidential policy as it is related to the confidentiality of the examinations
conducted, Evaluation done and several other aspects. Its’ leakage to public in any manner could lead to
derailment of the examination system and affect the life and future of millions of candidates. Sharing this
policy/document to anyone, publishing in any magazine and printing in News Paper/Website etc may invite
action under various rules of the Board and IPC.”
3. Evaluation is to be done as per instructions provided in the Marking Scheme. It should not be done
according to one’s own interpretation or any other consideration. Marking Scheme should be strictly
adhered to and religiously followed. However, while evaluating, answers which are based on latest
information or knowledge and/or are innovative, they may be assessed for their correctness otherwise and
due marks be awarded to them. In class-X, while evaluating two competency-based questions, please try to
understand given answer and even if reply is not from marking scheme but correct competency is
enumerated by the candidate, due marks should be awarded.
4. The Marking scheme carries only suggested value points for the answers. These are in the nature of
Guidelines only and do not constitute the complete answer. The students can have their own expression and
if the expression is correct, the due marks should be awarded accordingly.
5. The Head-Examiner must go through the first five answer books evaluated by each evaluator on the first
day, to ensure that evaluation has been carried out as per the instructions given in the Marking Scheme. If
there is any variation, the same should be zero after delibration and discussion. The remaining answer
books meant for evaluation shall be given only after ensuring that there is no significant variation in the
marking of individual evaluators.
6. Evaluators will mark ( √ ) wherever answer is correct. For wrong answer CROSS ‘X” be marked.
Evaluators will not put right (✓) while evaluating which gives an impression that answer is correct and no
marks are awarded. This is most common mistake which evaluators are committing.
7. If a question has parts, please award marks on the right-hand side for each part. Marks awarded for
different parts of the question should then be totaled up and written in the left-hand margin and encircled.
This may be followed strictly.
8. If a question does not have any parts, marks must be awarded in the left-hand margin and encircled. This
may also be followed strictly.
9. If a student has attempted an extra question, answer of the question deserving more marks should be
retained and the other answer scored out with a note “Extra Question”.
10. No marks to be deducted for the cumulative effect of an error. It should be penalized only once.
11. A full scale of marks 80 (example 0 to 80/70/60/50/40/30 marks as given in Question Paper) has to be
used. Please do not hesitate to award full marks if the answer deserves it.
12. Every examiner has to necessarily do evaluation work for full working hours i.e., 8 hours every day and
evaluate 20 answer books per day in main subjects and 25 answer books per day in other subjects (Details
are given in Spot Guidelines).This is in view of the reduced syllabus and number of questions in question
paper.
13. Ensure that you do not make the following common types of errors committed by the Examiner in the
past:-
 Leaving answer or part thereof unassessed in an answer book.
 Giving more marks for an answer than assigned to it.
 Wrong totaling of marks awarded on a reply.
 Wrong transfer of marks from the inside pages of the answer book to the title page.
 Wrong question wise totaling on the title page.
Page 7 of 15
 Lakhan Sir : 7972473539
 Wrong totaling of marks of the two columns on the title page.
 Wrong grand total.
 Marks in words and figures not tallying / not same.
 Wrong transfer of marks from the answer book to online award list.
 Answers marked as correct, but marks not awarded. (Ensure that the right tick mark is correctly and
clearly indicated. It should merely be a line. Same is with the X for incorrect answer.)
 Half or a part of answer marked correct and the rest as wrong, but no marks awarded.
14. While evaluating the answer books if the answer is found to be totally incorrect, it should be marked as
cross (X) and awarded zero (0)Marks.
15. Any unassessed portion, non-carrying over of marks to the title page, or totaling error detected by the
candidate shall damage the prestige of all the personnel engaged in the evaluation work as also of the
Board. Hence, in order to uphold the prestige of all concerned, it is again reiterated that the instructions be
followed meticulously and judiciously.
16. The Examiners should acquaint themselves with the guidelines given in the “Guidelines for spot
Evaluation” before starting the actual evaluation. Examiners should acquaint themselves with the
guidelines given in the Guidelines for spot Evaluation before starting the actual evaluation.
17. Every Examiner shall also ensure that all the answers are evaluated, marks carried over to the title page,
correctly totaled and written in figures and words.
18. The candidates are entitled to obtain photocopy of the Answer Book on request on payment of the
prescribed processing fee. All Examiners/Additional Head Examiners/Head Examiners are once again
reminded that they must ensure that evaluation is carried out strictly as per value points for each answer
as given in the Marking Scheme.
