CHEMISTRY

The academic year is divided into two

performance under the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE). Formal examinations will be held at the end of each term.

There will be four formal examinations in a session

• Pre-Mid Term (PT-1) This will include the syllabus as mentioned in the portion.

• Mid-Term Assessments (MT) This is cumulative in nature and includes the entire syllabus of Term-1.

• Post Mid-Term Assessments (PT-2) This will include the syllabus as mentioned in the portion.

• Annual examinations (AE) This will be cumulative in nature and will include the entire syllabus from Term-1 to Term-2.
