Bhubaneswar: Internal assessment and project work have been made mandatory for all Plus II regular students across streams by the Council of Higher Secondary Education of Odisha.
As per sources, Internal Assessment examinations for the current academic year will be held between December 22 and 31.
For students of Arts and Science streams, the assessment will include three subjects – Mother Tongue, English, and Mathematics. Each subject will carry 20 marks, which will be added to the overall score.
In Commerce stream, students will be assessed in Mother Tongue, English, Mathematics, and Project Work, with 20 marks allotted for each component.
It has been made clear that no student will be exempted from internal assessment or project submission as these components have been introduced to evaluate continuous learning, subject understanding, and project-based application.
Another opportunity will be provided if a student fails to appear for the assessment due to valid reasons. Such students will have to take the exam between January 10 and 15 next year. However, they must submit proper reason for their absence during the main schedule.
Instruction has been issued to colleges to complete all necessary preparations and inform students about the guidelines, ensuring smooth and transparent conduct of the examination.
