CHAPTER – 11
Examinations.
221. In each academic year, the school will hold the following tests carrying weightage
as under:-
222. The objective of the test and the examination is not merely to record the pupil’s
achievements but also to assess and identify the needs and the points of weakness
and strength. The results disclosed by these tests should be used by the teacher to
adapt instruction more closely to the individual needs and capabilities of the pupils and
wherever necessary, to organise special instruction for the pupils in areas where their
individual weakness has been disclosed.
223. Coordinated Coverage of Syllabus The whole academic year consists of micro
teaching units of one fortnight each. HQ AWES will intimate the contents to be covered
in each unit by 15 Mar each year for the ensuing academic year. It is of utmost
importance that schools abide by the schedule, failing which students proceeding on
transfers will suffer immensely. Details of teaching units are at Appendix X.
224. Minimum Attendance Necessary for Annual Examination. A pupil may not be
allowed to sit in the annual examination if he/she has not put in a minimum of 75% of
the total attendance of the academic session, including attendance in previous school if
the student has been admitted on transfer. The Principal is authorised to condone
shortage in attendance upto 15% in special circumstances meriting this concession e.g.
illness etc., i.e. permit a student with 60% attendance to take the annual examination.
226. The results of the annual examination shall be declared by the Principal by 31
Mar.
Assessment Rules
227. The final assessment of a pupil at the end of the academic year shall be based
on his total achievements. The assessment of the students will be carried out for all
classes as per the CBSE rules.
Promotion.
228 If a pupil fails to appear either in the half-yearly examination or periodical tests on
genuine grounds as illustrated in the following Article, he/she may be allowed
proportionate credit for such a test or half-yearly examination for the purpose of final
assessment for promotion to the next class in the following manner: -
“The number of marks obtained by the pupil for the various tests, sessional work
and annual examination minus the periodical test or half-yearly examination, which
he/she has missed, may be worked out. The total so arrived at, may be
proportionately increased taking into account the maximum marks of the missing
test”.
229. For example, for a pupil who has not appeared in the half-yearly examination, the
total marks obtained by him on the basis of his annual record may be worked out for
the maximum of 70 marks (30 marks being assigned to half-yearly examination), and
then projected to the maximum base of 100 marks. Thus, if the credit for a pupil for
periodical test, class work and home assignments and annual examination works out to
say, 45 out of 70, excluding the credit for half-yearly test which he/she has missed due
to illness, the total credit on the basis of the above formula will be 64 marks out of
100 marks.
230. The same criteria shall be adopted for working out credit for any other periodical
test which a pupil might have missed on account of illness etc.
231. The above concession will be admissible only in the bonafide cases (i) of illness
supported by medical certificate from a Government or Municipal Hospital, (ii) of transfer
of parents during the period of examination, and (iii) where a student could not take the
test or examination for reasons beyond his control.
232. A pupil, who fails to appear in the annual examination even though he/she had
secured sufficient marks in periodical tests and half-yearly examination, will be deemed
to have failed in the annual examination and shall not be promoted to the next higher
class. Where, however, the absence from the annual examination was due to reasons
beyond the control of the pupil, he/she will be given a supplementary examination on
order of the Principal. The Principal may at his/her discretion refer cases to the
Chairman whose decision will be final.
Grading System
Note . At least 3 assessments should be made over the year and Rating scale
given by the CBSE should be used.
(b) For Classes VI to VIII. The nine point grading scale for measuring
scholastic achievement will be used and Assessment of Scholastic attainments
will be reported twice in a year. Co-scholastic 2(A, B, C & D) and 3(A,B) will
be done on 5 point scale. It will be done once in a session. As given in
Teacher’s Manual for Classes VI-VII.
(c) Class IX and X. There will be 2 school terms and the weightage of
Formative and Summative Assessment will be as given in CBSE circulars.
Assessment of Scholastic achievements will be on a 9 point scale and co-
scholastic Areas and Activities on a 5 point scale.
Notes .
1. Format of Report Book. Formats for Reports Books have been forwarded by
CBSE for classes 1 & II, III,V, VI-VIII & IX-X respectively. Schools must strictly
adhere to these formats.
2. Marks and grades allotted to students of class IX & X must be endorsed at the
back of the TC or on a separate sheet signed by the class Teacher and Principal for
submission to the next receiving school.
Committee of Moderation.
234. There shall be established two Committees of Moderation in the school – one for
seniors (Classes VI to XII) and the other for juniors (Class 1 to V). Each Committee
shall have at least two and not more than three members besides the Principal. The
Principal shall be the Chairman of both the Committees. The other members will
include teachers of Arts and Science Groups. These Committees will consider the type
of questions to be asked in the annual examinations and also the standard of marking
the answer papers. The Committees may meet before the examination papers are set
and again they may meet after they are over and the scripts are marked and tabulation
made to decide the cases of promotion/detention etc., before the results are actually
announced. The minutes of Committee of Moderation will be approved by Chairman.
236. The Principal should bear in mind the following provision in the Central Board’s
regulation regarding detention of candidates from the Board Examinations:-
“Heads of recognised institutions are not entitled to detain candidates who have
fulfilled the conditions for permission to appear at the examination of the Board
except for very grave reasons and with the previous sanction of the Chairman of
the Board”.
237. If suitable precautions are taken at the lower levels particularly in class IX there
would be hardly any occasion to detain students under this clause for academic
deficiencies. The parents in such cases should also be apprised of this well in time.
238. The Central Board permits students to take the examination in either English or
Hindi. The school should give this option to the students regardless of the language in
which instruction has been given in that school.
239. Similar choice should be given to the students in the school tests and
examinations also.

General
291. Budgeting, Accounts and Audit form very important aspects of financial management and
administration of the school. The need for a sound philosophy for budgeting, meticulous care in
accounting and periodic auditing is therefore obvious. The detailed instructions on financial
management are contained in booklet ‘Financial Management of Army Schools/ Army Public

should also cater for the increased future liabilities of the school. The budget for ensuing
financial year should be passed by School Managing Committee before 31 Mar of the current
year.
Note. SMC is empowered to carry out inter fund transfer. If the amount of transfer is more than
Rs 50,000/-, approval of Patron will be obtained.
Finances
293. Schools which were established prior to 2005 were granted Corpus by AWES. It is
compulsory for them to plough back 50% of earning through interest into Corpus for its growth.

charges will be levied as per the general policy of the Society with a view to fully meeting all-
recurring and non-recurring expenditure.
Grants
295. Initial Grants. As a general policy, no corpus is being allotted by HQ AWES to Army
Schools since 2005. Instead, HQ AWES will give Rs Five lacs as initial grant to newly established
schools / regimental schools upgraded as Army Schools. All Intermediate Headquarters will chip
in proportionate shares to give sound financial foundation to newly established schools /
regimental schools upgraded as Army Schools. If considered inescapable HQ Command may
recommend transferring portion of Corpus held by Army Schools to equip newly established /
upgraded Army Schools coming up in the same station or within their jurisdiction. Transfer of
portion of Corpus held by schools will be approved by HQ AWES on recommendations from HQ
Commands. These would be considered as Initial Grants. The accounts will be adjusted
accordingly.
296. IT Grant. IT Grant of Rs 5 lacs will be given to newly established schools and schools
being upgraded from Regimental to Army schools.
297. CAL Grant. Army School who implement CAL as per guidelines given by HQ AWES will

Funds, the Management may raise them by organising fetes, securing grants-in-aid,
donations/voluntary contributions (with no strings attached) or by such other means as it may
deem fit e.g. renting out of auditorium for educational and cultural purposes. HQ Commands will
ensure adequate initial grants for new schools to put them on sound financial footing.
Purchases
301. Normal procedure of calling quotations, or deputing a Board Officers, may not be adhered
to in the following cases :-
Investments

income will be on the basis of annual plan as approved by the Managing Committee.
303. A proper `investment plan’ should be prepared for the whole year. School Management
should plan and review investments every three months for the forthcoming quarter. SMC
must ensure that all surplus amounts over and above the day-to-day requirement of the
school shall be carefully invested in short and long term deposits to earn maximum possible
interest while retaining security of funds.
Accounting
304. School will open a Savings Bank Account in a Nationalised Bank to which all revenues will
be deposited and from which all payments in excess of Rs 5000/- will be made by cheque. The

order to have an effective and close watch on the quality and standard of teaching in these
schools, an inspection of the school will be carried out.
Inspections
322. Academic activities take place in the schools on a continuous basis. Inspection of school
should not cause disruption in the academic schedule. Combined annual and technical inspection
of the school will be carried out by 30 Sep and report submitted to Patron and AWES HQ by 15
Oct each year. The duration of the inspection will not be more than two days. HQ Commands will
decide the composition of the panel of officers for inspection. The format for combined Annual

will approve the quality and the design.
(c) Physical comfort, economy in material and labour and durability should be the main
consideration in design of the furniture of the school. All furniture, fixtures and equipment
should be scaled to the size of the pupils for whom they are intended. Great care and
prudence should be exercised while ordering furniture for different classes. In particular, it
should be ensured that all items of furniture, particularly desks, chairs and tables
purchased by the school are elegant and conform to the size and height of the age group of
children for whom they are intended.
School Magazine
327. (a) The main purpose of the School magazine is to encourage the art of writing, among
the students and to train the young minds to express themselves freely. The teachers may
also contribute articles in the Magazine but the articles should be thought-provoking and
should deal with matters of scientific, historic or literary interest. To encourage writing
habit, the teachers should guide the students, on proper lines and give them points on
various topics with a view to bring out the hidden talent and creative art in them.
(c) In short, the magazine should mirror the various activities of the school progress and
distinction achieved in academic, cultural and athletic fields.

329. A library plays a very important role as an instrument of education. The main purpose of
the library is to increase the level of information of students, to help develop in them attitudes of
devotion to work and help build their character, exposing them to well-chosen ideas and
examples given in the books. It is a matter of paramount importance and priority to promote the
desire and habit of general reading among the students. Every endeavour should be made to
ensure that the library attains scholastic efficiency by providing material to supplement and enrich
instruction and guidance given in the classroom, besides affording the children mental pleasure.
The school library should lead each pupil to discover himself, guide him to adopt higher ideals of
life and help him in the choice of a useful career.
330. The library should be the most attractive place in the school so that the students will be
naturally drawn to it. It should be housed in a spacious, well-lit and furnished hall with neat and
clean surroundings. The school should have at least five books per students in the library
excluding guide books and complementary text books.
331. The success of the library depends largely on the proper selection of books, periodicals
and journals and as such proper attention should be paid to this matter. A small committee of
teachers headed by the Principal, who have a genuine love for books, may be entrusted with the
task of selecting books for the library. This committee will study book reviews and consult
catalogues and select books keeping in view the natural and psychological tendencies of the
pupils, their interests the age group and level of intelligence.
332. The books selected for the library should augment the academic contents and be
consistent with the level of education and understanding of the population. These should be
properly stacked to afford ease in selection by students. Library should have sufficient number of
books on diversified topics to cater for aptitude and interest of the students.

Schools)
Preparation of Reports
1. The Annual Confidential Reports on the staff of Army Schools, shall be prepared for the year ending
31 March every year. These reports must be completed not later than the 15 April every year.
Maintenance of Reports
2. The Principal should regard it as his personal and special responsibility to ensure that Annual
Confidential Reports are properly maintained in respect of all persons working in the school. It is his duty to
observe carefully the work and conduct of the staff and to provide training and guidance wherever necessary.
The Annual Confidential Reports should be based upon the results of such observations and periodical
inspections.
Custody of Reports
3. The reports of all staff will be kept under the custody of the Principal of the School. Principal’s report
once reviewed by the Patron, will be kept in safe custody of the Chairman, School Managing Committee.
5. Reports should also be written on the staff of the school, when the Principal leaves the school,
during the interval between two annual reports.
6. No report need, however, be written unless a reporting officer has at least three months experience on
which to base his report.
Communication of Adverse Remarks
7. It is necessary that every employee should know what his shortcomings are and how he can remove
them. The best results will be achieved only if every reporting officer realizes that it is his duty not only to
make an objective assessment of his subordinate’s work and qualities, but also to give him at all times the
necessary advice, guidance and assistance to correct his faults and deficiencies. If this part of duty is properly
performed, there should be no difficulty about recording adverse entries, because they would only refer to
shortcomings, which have persisted despite the reporting officer’s efforts to have them corrected. Accordingly,
in mentioning any faults or shortcomings, the reporting officer should also give an indication of the efforts he
had made, by way of guidance, admonition etc. to get the shortcomings removed and the results of such
efforts.
8. The adverse remarks in the confidential report shall be communicated to the employee concerned by
the Initiating Officer where considered necessary, and a copy of such communication should be attached to
the ACR.
9. In communicating remarks to the member of staff reported upon, the following procedure should be
followed :-
(c) Where the report of a person shows that he/she had made efforts to remedy
or overcome shortcomings mentioned in the preceding report, the fact should be
communicated to the person in a suitable form and a copy of such communication
should be added to the ACR.
10. Representations against adverse remarks should be made within three months of the date of
communication.
11. The following procedure may be adopted in dealing with such representations:-
(a) All representations against adverse remarks will be examined and disposed of by
the Chairman in consultation, if necessary, with the reporting officer.
(b) If it is found that the remarks were justified and the representation was
frivolous, a note will be made in the Confidential Report of the employee that
he/she did not take correction in good spirit.
(c) If the Chairman feels that there is not sufficient ground for interference, the
representation should be rejected and the employee informed accordingly.
(d) If the Chairman feels that remarks should be moderated, necessary entries
separately with proper attestation at the appropriate place of the report, will be
made; the correction would not be made in the earlier entries themselves.
(e) In the event of the competent authority coming to the conclusion that the
adverse remarks were inspired by malice or were entirely incorrect or unfounded
and therefore deserve expunction, the Chairman will take necessary action to
score through the remarks, paste it over or obliterate it otherwise and will make
an entry, properly dated and attested, stating that this has been done.
12. Representations or explanations against adverse entries should not be added to the Confidential
Reports.
(Specimen forms of Confidential Report forms for Principal, teaching and non-teaching
staff are attached as Annexure I-IV).

No.11013/1/D(Lands)/2000,
Government of India,
Ministry of Defence
To,
Sir,
I am directed to say that the issue of grant of Defence land to Army Schools and
Army Public Schools, under the aegis of Army Welfare Education Society (AWES) etc.
for catering to the educational needs of the wards of defence Service Personnel has
been engaging the attention of the Government. The issue has been considered in the
Ministry and it has been decided that the requests for allotment of Defence land to
these schools would be governed under the following terms and conditions:-
(i) The land can be allotted to AWES etc. for running of each Army School /
Army Public School at a nominal rent of Rs 1/- per annum.
(ii) Though the actual requirement of land to each Army School / Army Public
School can be decided at the time of consideration of each individual case, it
should not exceed 11 acres in the case of Army Schools, and 14 acres in the
case of Army Public Schools.
(iii) The land may be allotted to AWES on lease hold basis for an initial period
of 30 years, renewable upto two like terms of 30 years each, in schedule VIII of
CLA Rules, 1937 with the specific condition that the land will not be sub-leased or
transferred in any form to any party and if the same is not required, it will be
given back to Ministry of Defence.
(iv) The issue of allowing the use of Govt buildings occupied by the school and
charging of rent etc, till its own building comes up, where such schools have
already been established, may be considered at the time of consideration of the
request for allotment of defence land to such schools.
(v) In addition to above, the allotment of land to AWES for running of Schools
will be subject to other usual conditions.
(vii) Army Welfare Education Society will set up and run the Schools with its own
resources and no liability will accrue to the Govt.
2. This policy will be equally applicable to similar schools established by the welfare
societies of Air Force and Navy.
3. The allotment of Defence land to the Army Schools / Army Public Schools already
established by AWES on defence land / buildings, and similar schools established by
the welfare societies of Air Force and navy, without the approval of the Govt, will also
be governed by the above guidelines, and should be referred to the Ministry for
regularization. No such schools would be opened on Defence land / buildings in future
without the prior approval of the govt.
4. This issues with the approval of Ministry of Defence (Finance Division) vide their
u.o. No. 80/Dir(Fin/Works) dated 25.01.2001.
