- No chapter wise weightage. Care to be taken to cover all the chapters
- Suitable internal variations may be made for generating various templates keeping the overall weightage to different form of questions and typology of questions same.
Choice(s): There will be no overall choice in the question paper. However, 33% internal choices will be given in all the sections
CBSE Class 12 Mathematics Syllabus 2023: Internal Assessment
The internal assessment of Mathematics consists of 20 marks. Internal assessment of mathematics is divided into two parts. Check the details and mark the distribution of both the parts given below in the table:
| Internal Assessment | Marks |
| Periodic Tests ( Best 2 out of 3 tests conducted) | 10 |
| Mathematics Activities | 10 |
| Total | 20 |
Conduct of Periodic Tests: Periodic Test is a Pen and Paper assessment which is to be conducted by the respective subject teacher. The format of the periodic test must have questions items with a balanced mix, such as, very short answer (VSA), short answer (SA) and long answer (LA) to effectively assess the knowledge, understanding, application, skills, analysis, evaluation and synthesis. Depending on the nature of subject, the subject teacher will have the liberty of incorporating any other types of questions too. The modalities of the PT are as follows:
a) Mode: The periodic test is to be taken in the form of pen-paper test.
b) Schedule: In the entire Academic Year, three Periodic Tests in each subject may be conducted as follows:
| Test | Pre Mid-term (PT-I) | Mid-Term (PT-II) | Post Mid-Term (PT-III) |
| Tentative Month | July-August | November | December-January |
This is only a suggestive schedule and schools may conduct periodic tests as per their convenience. The winter bound schools would develop their own schedule with similar time gaps between two consecutive tests.
c) Average of Marks: Once schools complete the conduct of all the three periodic tests, they will convert the weightage of each of the three tests into ten marks each for identifying best two tests. The best two will be taken into consideration and the average of the two shall be taken as the final marks for PT.
d) The school will ensure simple documentation to keep a record of performance as suggested in detail circular no.Acad-05/2017.
e) Sharing of Feedback/Performance: The students’ achievement in each test must be shared with the students and their parents to give them an overview of the level of learning that has taken place during different periods. Feedback will help parents formulate interventions (conducive ambience, support materials, motivation and morale-boosting) to further enhance learning. A teacher, while sharing the feedback with student or parent, should be empathetic, non- judgmental and motivating. It is recommended that the teacher share best examples/performances of IA with the class to motivate all learners.
