Senior School Certificate Examination-2020

Marking Scheme – PHYSICS THEORY (042)
(55/1/2)
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. Evaluation is a 10-12 days mission for all of us. Hence, it is
necessary that you put in your best efforts in this process.
2. 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 marks be awarded to them.
3. 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. 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.
4. Evaluators will mark( √ ) wherever answer is correct. For wrong answer ‘X”be
marked. Evaluators will not put right kind of mark while evaluating which gives an
impression that answer is correct and no marks are awarded. This is most
common mistake which evaluators are committing.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. If a student has attempted an extra question, answer of the question deserving
more marks should be retained and the other answer scored out.
8. No marks to be deducted for the cumulative effect of an error. It should be
penalized only once.
9. A full scale of marks 0-70 has to be used. Please do not hesitate to award full
marks if the answer deserves it.
10. 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).
11. 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 a reply.
 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.
 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.

12. 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.

13. Any unassessed 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.

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

15. 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.

16. The Board permits candidates to obtain photocopy of the Answer Book on request
in an RTI application and also separately as a part of the re-evaluation process
on payment of the processing charges.
