Class IX Summative Assessment II – Eligibility for Improvement

Grading at Class IX and X from the Academic Session 2009‐10.

The Board has discontinued the practice of declaring ‘Compartment’ or ’Fail’. Further, it has
also been informed that candidates who have obtained Grade ‘E1’ or ‘E2’ are required to
improve their performance in subsequent five attempts.
Given below are the guidelines with regard to eligibility for improvement of performance in
class IX:

i) The students of class IX who have obtained Grade ‘E1’ or ‘E2’ in one or more subjects
excluding additional subject may be allowed to improve their performance in 2nd
Summative Assessment through subsequent ONE ATTEMPT and such students would
not be eligible for getting admission in class X till they improve their performance.

ii) Although, it is true that for Class X examination we have decided to allow the students to appear for improvement of their performance in one or more subjects through
subsequent FIVE ATTEMPTS yet in class IX keeping in view the administrative difficulties  of the schools it has been decided to allow only ONE CHANCE for improvement of
performance.


iii) As intimated earlier, question papers for improvement examination in class IX would be
set by the schools themselves on the lines of the question papers provided by the Board
earlier for Summative Assessment and one chance of improvement of performance is to
be given preferably within a period of one month from the date of declaration of the
results by the schools.
