The school follows the CBSE-prescribed assessment scheme, with continuous internal evaluation through the year and a final examination at the end of each academic session.

Assessment at the primary stage is largely informal and continuous — through classwork, homework, oral participation, projects, and short tests. Grades are reported at the end of each term, alongside qualitative remarks from the class teacher.

Classes VI — VIII

Internal assessment of 40 marks across the year (Periodic Tests, Multiple Assessment, Subject Enrichment, Portfolio) is combined with an Annual Examination of 60 marks based on the full year’s syllabus.

Classes IX — X

Internal assessment of 20 marks — broken into Periodic Test (5), Multiple Assessment (5), Subject Enrichment (5), and Portfolio (5) — combined with a Board examination of 80 marks. Class X candidates appear for the AISSE conducted by CBSE.

For science subjects in Classes IX and X, the 80-mark board paper includes a 20-mark practical / internal component, in line with CBSE’s scheme for the academic year.
