As per the remodelled assessment structure, the students will be marked on theoretical exam out of 80 marks, and the rest of the 20 marks will be for internal assessment. The internal assessment has been divided into three components, i.e., 10, 5 and 5 marks respectively. From the next academic session, there will take no school-based exams for Class 10 students, and it is mandatory for the students to pass in both internal assessment and board exams.
