For better reliability in assessment, the above is a suggestive distribution of marks for different
aspects of practicals in physics. The exact value point distribution of marks will depend on the
particular experiment/ activity being performed. Hence care should be taken to select actual marks
for each aspect/value point out of the range of marks suggested.

NOTE FOR PRACTICAL EXAMINATION :

Higher secondary (XII) physics practical examination will be conducted as per last year΄s
norms, irrespective of the changes in the theory examination pattern which will be
implemented this year (2019 -20)

Higher secondary (XI), instructions for conducting XI practical examination ( i.e. 30

marks ) has been printed in the hand book published by Balbharati for the academic year
2019-20 for physics.

•No first term-end practical examination *
