It is mandatory that Higher Secondary students should appear for both the practical and theory exam of their subjects concerned to qualify the board exam. If the student does not appear in anyone of their subjects, he / she will be considered to be absent in that particular subject and consequently will not be eligible for higher studies. First year students are exempted from the practical exam.
The practical exams will be conducted as per the prescribed scheme and syllabus. Final exam score will be the total marks obtained by the students in the Practical Examination, Terminal Examination and Continuous Evaluation as well.
Of the 20 subjects given below, the students should appear for the Practical Examination in the subjects of their study.
The practical exam score may vary for some subjects. The maximum score and time for practical examination for each subject are given below.

|---|---|
| Music | 80 (1½ Hrs) |
| Botany | 20 (1½ Hrs) |
| Zoology | 20 (1½ Hrs) |
