Is this is true that school provide 15 marks for internals free in 10th board for good percentage
on
No, it is not officially true that schools provide 15 internal marks “for free” in the Class 10 board exams just to boost students’ percentages. However, in reality, many schools try to help students by awarding lenient marks in internal assessments. Here’s how it usually works:
1. CBSE Internal Marks Distribution (Out of 20)
Internal assessment consists of:
- Periodic Tests (5 marks) – Based on class tests.
- Notebook Submission (5 marks) – For regularity, neatness, and assignment completion.
- Subject Enrichment Activities (5 marks) – Practical work, projects, or oral exams.
- Lab/Activity Work (5 marks, for science subjects) – Based on experiments and practicals.
2. Do Schools Give 15 Marks Easily?
- Schools cannot officially give all students 15+ marks for free, but many schools award lenient marks to ensure students don’t fail.
- Some schools may give full marks in notebook submission and subject enrichment (easy to score areas).
- If a student is regular in class, submits work, and performs decently, they can easily get 15-18 marks.
3. What If a Student Does Nothing?
- If a student does not submit work or participate, schools may still give some marks (like 10-12) to help them pass.
- However, strict schools might give zero if a student completely ignores internals.
Conclusion:
While schools do not officially give 15 marks for free, they often award generous marks to avoid failing students and maintain good board results.
