Revaluation
There is a major change regarding revaluation. Revaluation answer scripts will be subjected to double valuation. If the difference of the two scores is less than 10% of the maximum mark, the average of both such scores will be given. If the difference is 10% or more, then, a third revaluation will be conducted and the average of the nearest score with the score obtained in the double valuation will be awarded to the student. Even if there is only one score higher in the revaluation, it will be awarded. If the score is lesser after revaluation, then the first obtained score will be retained.

Compartmental exam
The compartmental students can register for the first year or second year subject which they could not pass and appear for the exam as they wish. If they register for the first year exam then the highest score of the second year and vice versa will be retained. As the students had to register for both the first and second year exam so far, this would be a relief to such students.
Absentees of practical exam
If a student who has appeared for the second year theory exam but unable to appear for the practical exam, such student need to appear for the practical exam only next time.
Setting of Question Paper
Question paper setting is very important for the higher secondary exam. A pool of teachers will be formed after invited application from teachers who are interested in doing this and a panel of teachers will be selected from it.
Valuation of Answer scripts
As per session Earlier, the Higher secondary exam was conducted for 150 marks and a pack of 20 and scripts for Botany, Zoology and Music was given for valuation in a session whereas it was 13 for other subjects. Since the scores are reduced now, the number of scripts to be evaluated in a session for Botany Zoology and Music will be 25 and 17 for other subjects. It will enable the fast moving evaluation process for the results declaration.
