GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. You are aware that evaluation is the most important process in the actual and
correct assessment of the candidates. Even 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.
Evaluation is a 10-12 day mission for all of us. Hence, it is desired from you to give
your best in this process.
3. The Head-Examiner must go through the first five answer books evaluated by each
evaluator to ensure that evaluation has been carried out as per the instructions
given in the Marking Scheme. 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.
4. 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 totalled up and
written in the left-hand margin and encircled.
5. If a question does not have any parts, marks must be awarded in the left hand
margin and encircled.
6. If a student has attempted an extra question, answer of the question deserving more
marks should be retained and other answer scored out.
8. A full scale of marks 0-100 has to be used. Please do not hesitate to award full marks
if the answer deserves it.
9. Where marks are allotted separately for content and expression as per the marking
scheme, they have to be reflected separately and then totalled up. This is
mandatory.
10. A slash (/) in the marking scheme indicates alternative answer(s) to a question. If a
student writes an answer which is not given in the marking scheme but which seems
to be equally acceptable, marks must be awarded only in consultation with the head
examiner.
11. Every examiner should stay full working hours i.e. 8 hours every day and evaluate 25
answer books.
12. Avoid the following common types of errors committed by the Examiners in the
past:-
Leaving answer or part thereof unassessed in an answer book.
Giving more marks for an answer than assigned to it.
Wrong transfer of marks from the inside pages of the answer book to the title
page.
Wrong question wise totalling on the title page.
Wrong totalling of marks of the two columns on the title page.
Wrong grand total.
Marks in words and figure not tallying.
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 not be merely a line. Same is
with the X for incorrect answer.)
Half or part of an answer marked correct and the rest as wrong, but no marks
awarded.
13. While evaluating the answer books if the answer is found to be totally incorrect, it
should be marked as (X) and awarded zero (0) Marks.
14. The Examiners should acquaint themselves with the guidelines given in the
Guidelines for Spot Evaluation before starting the actual evaluation.
15. Every Examiner shall also ensure that all the answers are evaluated, marks carried
over to the title page, correctly totalled and written in figures and words.
16. As per the order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, the candidates are now permitted to
obtain photocopy of the Answer Book on request on payment of the processing
charges.
17. Q1 under Section A (Reading) and Q7 under Section C (Literature) have been
designed to test students’ ability to comprehend the given lines / passage. As such,
the examinees need not be unnecessarily penalised for language errors.
18. Where questions have been designed to test the writing skills of students, the
expression (grammatical accuracy, appropriate use of words, style, spelling,
organization and presentation of relevant matter in a coherent and logical way)
assumes as much importance as the content.
19. Wherever the word limit is given, no marks be deducted for exceeding it. However,
due credit should be given for precise answers.
20. Any unassessed portion, non-carrying over of marks to the title page or totalling
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 reiterated that the instructions be followed
meticulously and judiciously.
1. Answer scripts must be given to the evaluators for evaluation only after the given
marking scheme has been thoroughly discussed with them, collectively or individually.
No exceptions, please.
2. The Head Examiner must conduct a mock evaluation exercise on the first day of
evaluation to ensure that the evaluation has been carried out as per the norms and
instructions of CBSE. Formal evaluation is to begin from Day-2 (group evaluation) only
after ensuring that there is no significant variation in the marking of evaluators, as per
the exercise carried out during mock evaluation.
