Birla High School

CLASSES VI-VIII
Dear Parents,
This is to bring to your kind notice certain revisions in the assessment structure for Classes VI-VIII, which shall come into effect Term II onwards. The revised structure is outlined below:
Periodic Assessment III (PA-III)
● Periodic Assessment III, previously conducted out of 20 marks, will henceforth be conducted out of 25 marks.
● Periodic Assessments, which were earlier held on Fridays, will now be conducted on Mondays.
● Due to certain unavoidable circumstances, there will be instances when two Periodic Assessments are scheduled within the same week.
Internal Assessment – 25 Marks
The Internal Assessment shall comprise the following components:
● Multiple Assessments – 10 marks
● Subject Enrichment – 10 marks
● Notebook – 5 marks
Multiple Assessments (MA)
Multiple Assessments will no longer be announced separately, as had been indicated in the earlier circular (No. 040/26-27). These assessments shall be formative in nature and will be integrated into the regular teaching-learning process. Examples of such activities can be CBQ worksheets, Viva Voce, group discussions, lab based activities, Open textbook assessments etc.
It may kindly be noted that Multiple Assessments and Subject Enrichment activities should not be treated as tests or examinations. These are intended to encourage continuous learning and the practical application of concepts, allowing students to strengthen their understanding through regular engagement rather than through formal testing.
In view of this change, the examination schedule for Multiple Assessment and Periodic Assessment examination, currently mentioned in the school diary, shall stand cancelled and will no longer be applicable.
The new schedule and syllabus for the Periodic Assessment shall be communicated soon.
Parents are kindly requested to take due note of the revised assessment structure and to extend their continued cooperation and support to the students.
Thank you,
Mrs. Loveleen Saigal
Principal
