Examination Policy for S.M. Public Sr. Sec. School Lotni

At S.M. Public Senior Secondary School, Lotni, we strive to provide a fair, transparent, and supportive environment for students to demonstrate their academic abilities. This Examination Policy outlines the guidelines and expectations for all students during examinations and assessments. It is designed to ensure that examinations are conducted with integrity and fairness, reflecting our commitment to academic excellence.

1. Examination Schedule and Timetable**

The school will provide a detailed examination schedule and timetable well in advance to ensure that students have sufficient time to prepare.

The examination schedule will be communicated through the school website, notice boards, and other communication channels.

-Students are expected to follow the schedule and arrive on time for all exams.

2. Eligibility for Examination**

 To be eligible to appear for final examinations, students must meet the minimum attendance requirements set by the school.

All outstanding fees and dues must be cleared prior to examination dates.

-Students must have completed the necessary coursework and internal assessments as part of their academic requirements.

3. Examination Guidelines**

Punctuality:** Students must arrive at the examination hall 15 minutes before the scheduled time. Latecomers may not be allowed to sit for the exam.

Examination Materials:** Students are required to bring only necessary stationery (pen, pencil, eraser, etc.) to the examination hall. The use of electronic devices such as mobile phones, calculators (unless permitted), and other unauthorized items is strictly prohibited.

Identification:** Students must carry their school-issued identity card and a valid admit card to the examination hall.

Conduct:** Students must maintain discipline and silence during the examination. Any form of cheating, including copying or attempting to influence others, will result in disciplinary action.

Attendance Register:** Students must sign the attendance register before entering the examination hall and will not be allowed to leave the hall until the examination ends, unless permitted by the invigilator.

4. Internal Assessments and Grading**

Internal assessments, including quizzes, projects, assignments, and class tests, will contribute to the overall evaluation of a student’s performance.

 The school will follow a transparent grading system, and the results of internal assessments will be shared with students and parents.

 The weightage of internal assessments will be communicated to students at the start of the academic year.

5. Special Accommodations**

 If a student requires special accommodations (e.g., extra time, alternative format materials) due to a medical condition or learning disability, the school should be notified well in advance. A medical certificate or documentation from a licensed professional may be required.

The school will make reasonable accommodations to ensure that all students can perform to the best of their abilities.

6. Results and Re-evaluation**

Examination results will be declared according to the schedule specified by the school. The results will be communicated through the school website, notice boards, and individual student portals.

In case a student is dissatisfied with their result, they may apply for re-evaluation within the specified time frame. The application process and associated fees (if any) will be shared with students at the time of result declaration.

7. Absenteeism During Examinations

If a student is unable to attend an examination due to illness or other valid reasons, the school must be notified as soon as possible. A medical certificate or supporting documents must be provided.

 Absenteeism without valid justification will result in a "zero" for that exam, and the student may not be allowed to appear for the next examination without prior approval from the school authorities.

10. Parent/Guardian Role

 Parents/guardians are encouraged to actively engage in their child's academic journey by staying informed about examination schedules, assessment results, and areas that may need improvement.

Parents/guardians should also ensure that their child follows the guidelines and prepares adequately for examinations.
