CHEMISTRY-XII

The academic year is divided into two

performance under the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE).

There will be five formal examinations in a session

• Formative assessment I and II This will include the syllabus mentioned as per CDLO.

• Mid-Term Assessments (MT) This is cumulative in nature and includes the entire syllabus of Term-1.

• Pre-Board-1 (PB1) This will be cumulative in nature and will include the entire syllabus for the session.

• Pre-Board-2 (PB2) This will be also cumulative in nature and will include the entire syllabus for the session.
