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 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 deliberation 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( v ) 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.

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 deliberation 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( v ) 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. 
[ CBSE MS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SUBJECT CODE 417 PAPER CODE 104/SET4 CLASS 10 MAIN 2025 PAGE 1/21] 
 
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 50 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 answers.) 
? Half or a part of the 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 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. 
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.
