Marking Scheme
Marking Scheme
You are aware that evaluation is the most important process in the actual and
1 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
2 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.”
Evaluation is to be done as per instructions provided in the Marking Scheme.
3 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.
The Marking Scheme carries only suggested value points for the answers.
4 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.
The Head-Examiner must go through the first five answer books evaluated by
5 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.
Evaluators will mark( √ ) wherever answer is correct. For wrong answer
6 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.
If a question has parts, please award marks on the right-hand side for each part.
7 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.
If a question does not have any parts, marks must be awarded in the left-hand
8 margin and encircled. This may also be followed strictly.
[
If a student has attempted an extra question, answer of the question deserving
9 more marks should be retained and the other answer scored out with a note
“Extra Question”.
No marks to be deducted for the cumulative effect of an error. It should be
10 penalized only once.
A full scale of marks 50 has to be used. Please do not hesitate to award full
11 marks if the answer deserves it.
Every examiner has to necessarily do evaluation work for full working hours i.e.,
12 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.
Ensure that you do not make the following common types of errors committed by
13 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.
While evaluating the answer books, if the answer is found to be totally incorrect,
14 it should be marked as cross (X) and awarded zero (0)Marks.
Any unassessed portion, non-carrying over of marks to the title page, or totaling
15 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.
The Examiners should acquaint themselves with the guidelines given in the
16 “Guidelines for Spot Evaluation” before starting the actual evaluation.
Every Examiner shall also ensure that all the answers are evaluated, marks
17 carried over to the title page, correctly totaled and written in figures and words.
The candidates are entitled to obtain a photocopy of the Answer Book on request
18 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.

Ans Neural networks are modelled after how neurons in the human brain
behave. The key advantage of neural networks is that they are able to
extract data features automatically without needing the input of the
programmer. A neural network is essentially a system of organizing
machine learning algorithms to perform certain tasks.
This is a representation of the working of neural networks. A Neural
Network is divided into 3 layers and each layer is further divided into
several blocks called nodes. Each node has its own machine learning
algorithm to accomplish, which is then passed to the next layer.
● The first layer of a Neural Network is known as the input layer. The
job of an input layer is to acquire data and feed it to the Neural
Network. No processing occurs at the input layer.
● Next to it, are the hidden layers. Hidden layers are the layers in
which the whole processing occurs. Their name essentially means
that these layers are hidden and are not visible to the user. Each
node of these hidden layers has its own machine learning algorithm
which it executes on the data received from the input layer. The
processed output is then fed to the subsequent hidden layer of the
network. There can be multiple hidden layers in a neural network
system and their number depends upon the complexity of the
function for which the network has been configured. Also, the
number of nodes in each layer can vary accordingly. The last hidden
layer passes the final processed data to the output layer which then
gives it to the user as the final output.
● Similar to the input layer, the output layer too does not process the
data which it acquires. It is meant for user-interface
(1/2 mark for the correct identification , 1/2 mark for the
definition)
(3 marks for all the layers/ 1 mark for each layer)
