General Instructions 
 
1. The Marking Scheme provides general guidelines to reduce subjectivity 
and maintain uniformity among large number of examiners involved in the 
marking. The answers given in the marking scheme are the best suggested 
answers. 
2. Marking is to be done as per the 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. 
3. Alternative methods are accepted. Proportional marks are to be awarded. 
4. The Head-Examiners have to go through the first five answer-scripts 
evaluated by each evaluator to ensure that the evaluation has been done as 
per instructions given in the marking scheme. The remaining answer scripts 
meant for evaluation shall be given only after ensuring that there is no 
significant variation in the marking of individual evaluators. 
5. If a question is attempted twice and the candidate has not crossed any 
answer, only first attempt is to be evaluated. Write ‘EXTRA’ with second 
attempt. 
6. A full scale of marks 0 to 90 has to be used. Please do not hesitate to award 
full marks if the answer deserves it. 
7. Separate Marking Scheme for all the three sets has been given. 
8. The Examiners should acquaint themselves with the guidelines given in the 
Guidelines for Spot Evaluation before starting the actual evaluation. 
9. Every Examiner should stay upto sufficiently reasonable time normally 5-6 
hours every day and evaluate 20-25 answer books and should devote 
minimum 15-20 minutes to evaluate each answer book. 
10. Every Examiner should acquaint himself/herself with the marking schemes 
of all the sets.
