MARKING SCHEME OF CLASS XII COMPUTER SCIENCE (083) - 2023

Marking Scheme
Strictly Confidential
(For Internal and Restricted use only)
Senior School Certificate Examination, 2023
SUBJECT NAME: COMPUTER SCIENCE (SUBJECT CODE: 083) (PAPER CODE: 91)

General Instructions:
1 You are aware that evaluation is the most important process in the actual and correct assessment
of the candidates. A small mistake in evaluation may lead to serious problems which may affect
the future of the candidates, education system and teaching profession. To avoid mistakes, it is
requested that before starting evaluation, you must read and understand the spot evaluation
guidelines carefully.

2 “Evaluation policy is a confidential policy as it is related to the confidentiality of the

examinations conducted, Evaluation done and several other aspects. Its’ leakage to public
in any manner could lead to derailment of the examination system and affect the life and
future of millions of candidates. Sharing this policy/document to anyone, publishing in
any magazine and printing in News Paper/Website etc may invite action under various
rules of the Board and IPC.”

3 Evaluation is to be done as per instructions provided in the Marking Scheme. It should not be
done according to one’s own interpretation or any other consideration. Marking Scheme should
be strictly adhered to and religiously followed. However, while evaluating, answers which are
based on latest information or knowledge and/or are innovative, they may be assessed for
their correctness otherwise and due marks be awarded to them. In class-X, while
evaluating two competency-based questions, please try to understand given answer and
even if reply is not from marking scheme but correct competency is enumerated by the
candidate, due marks should be awarded.

4 The Marking scheme carries only suggested value points for the answers. These are in the nature
of Guidelines only and do not constitute the complete answer. The students can have their own
expression and if the expression is correct, the due marks should be awarded accordingly.

5 The Head-Examiner must go through the first five answer books evaluated by each evaluator on
the first day, to ensure that evaluation has been carried out as per the instructions given in the
Marking Scheme. If there is any variation, the same should be zero after delibration and
discussion. The remaining answer books meant for evaluation shall be given only after ensuring
that there is no significant variation in the marking of individual evaluators.

6 Evaluators will mark( √ ) wherever answer is correct. For wrong answer CROSS ‘X” be marked.
Evaluators will not put right (✓)while evaluating which gives an impression that answer is correct
and no marks are awarded. This is most common mistake which evaluators are committing.

7 If a question has parts, please award marks on the right-hand side for each part. Marks awarded
for different parts of the question should then be totaled up and written in the left-hand margin
and encircled. This may be followed strictly.

8 If a question does not have any parts, marks must be awarded in the left-hand margin and
encircled. This may also be followed strictly.

9 If a student has attempted an extra question, answer of the question deserving more marks
should be retained and the other answer scored out with a note “Extra Question”.

10 No marks to be deducted for the cumulative effect of an error. It should be penalized only once.

11 A full scale of marks __________(example 0 to 80/70/60/50/40/30 marks as given in Question

Paper) has to be used. Please do not hesitate to award full marks if the answer deserves it.

12 Every examiner has to necessarily do evaluation work for full working hours i.e., 8 hours every
day and evaluate 20 answer books per day in main subjects and 25 answer books per day in
other subjects (Details are given in Spot Guidelines).This is in view of the reduced syllabus and
number of questions in question paper.

13 Ensure that you do not make the following common types of errors committed by the Examiner
in the past:-
● Leaving answer or part thereof unassessed in an answer book.
● Giving more marks for an answer than assigned to it.
● Wrong totaling of marks awarded on an answer.
● Wrong transfer of marks from the inside pages of the answer book to the title
page.
● Wrong question wise totaling on the title page.
● Wrong totaling of marks of the two columns on the title page.
● Wrong grand total.
● Marks in words and figures not tallying/not same.
● Wrong transfer of marks from the answer book to online award list.
● Answers marked as correct, but marks not awarded. (Ensure that the right tick
mark is correctly and clearly indicated. It should merely be a line. Same is with the
X for incorrect answer.)
● Half or a part of answer marked correct and the rest as wrong, but no marks
awarded.

14 While evaluating the answer books if the answer is found to be totally incorrect, it should be
marked as cross (X) and awarded zero (0)Marks.

15 Any un assessed portion, non-carrying over of marks to the title page, or totaling error detected
by the candidate shall damage the prestige of all the personnel engaged in the evaluation work
as also of the Board. Hence, in order to uphold the prestige of all concerned, it is again reiterated
that the instructions be followed meticulously and judiciously.

16 The Examiners should acquaint themselves with the guidelines given in the “Guidelines for spot
Evaluation” before starting the actual evaluation.

17 Every Examiner shall also ensure that all the answers are evaluated, marks carried over to the
title page, correctly totaled and written in figures and words.

18 The candidates are entitled to obtain a photocopy of the Answer Book on request on payment of
the prescribed processing fee. All Examiners/Additional Head Examiners/Head Examiners are
once again reminded that they must ensure that evaluation is carried out strictly as per value
points for each answer as given in the Marking Scheme.

 MARKING SCHEME OF CLASS XII COMPUTER SCIENCE (083) - 2023

CHAR is of fixed length character(string) data type, which means, declaring

CHAR (10) implies to reserve spaces for 10 characters. If data does not have
10 characters (e.g., ‘CITY’ has four characters), MySQL fills the remaining 6
characters with spaces padded on the right.

VARCHAR is a variable-length character(string) data type. Declaring VARCHAR

(30) means a maximum of 30 characters can be stored but the actual
allocated bytes will depend on the length of the entered string. So ‘CITY’ in
VARCHAR (30) will occupy space needed to store 4 characters only and the
remaining 26 will be released.

OR
CHAR data type is used to store strings of fixed length, while the VARCHAR
data type is used to store strings of variable-length. Eg, to store ‘India’,
VARCHAR(20) occupies only 5 bytes whereas CHAR(20) occupies 20 bytes.

OR
any other valid difference and examples
(2 Marks for mentioning one difference with the help of examples)
OR
(1 Mark each for writing explanation of each type with example)
OR
(½ Mark for each term for mentioning only purpose without example)

defined function named write_bin() to create a binary file called
Cust_file.dat containing customer information – customer number (c_no),
name (c_name), quantity (qty), price (price) and amount (amt) of each
customer.

The function accepts customer number, name, quantity and price.

Thereafter, it displays the message ‘Quantity less than 10 ….. Cannot SAVE’,
if quantity entered is less than 10. Otherwise the function calculates amount
as price * quantity and then writes the record in the form of a list into the
binary file.
