Takeaways

• 😀 Practical exams for NS Board are conducted in two sessions: April (starting from March 16) and October (starting from September 16). For on-demand exams, the practical exam date is communicated by the teacher at the exam center.
• 😀 A practical file must be submitted before the practical exam. The file must follow specific guidelines, which are outlined in a 122-page notification.
• 😀 Students must complete practical files for subjects that require them. In class 10th, practical exams are required for subjects like Science, Technology, and Data Entry, while class 12th practicals are mandatory for subjects such as Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science, and others.
• 😀 The practical file includes experiments from the lab manual. Students must write 10 experiments, along with diagrams, tables, observations, and conclusions, following the proper format outlined in the guidelines.
• 😀 Marks for practicals are based on two components: FA (Pre-exam preparation including 5 PCP classes) and SA (Submission Assessment, which involves submitting the file, completing a written test, and participating in viva).
• 😀 The FA marks are awarded for attending 5 mandatory PCP classes, while SA marks are given based on the submitted practical file, written test performance, and viva.
• 😀 Class 10th students need a total of 27 marks (combined practical and theory) to pass practical subjects, and class 12th students need 33 marks in both theory and practicals separately.
• 😀 To make the practical file, students can buy a file with lined and blank pages from a stationery shop. They must use the lab manual from NIOS to complete the experiments and fill in tables and observations.
• 😀 If students cannot complete the practical file themselves, they can opt for a solved practical file from experts, which guarantees full marks when submitted properly.
• 😀 The practical exam involves two activities: a written test (answering basic questions from the practical file) and viva (where students answer questions related to the experiments in the file).
• 😀 Practical marks are awarded based on submitting a correctly filled file, attending the PCP classes, and performing well in the written test and viva. Teachers at the exam center assess the students based on these activities.

Q & A

When are the practical exams for NS Board in the April and October sessions held?

For the April session, the practical exams start on March 16. For the October session, they begin on September 16. For on-demand exams, the teacher will inform you about the practical exam schedule on the day of the theory exam.

What is the importance of attending PCP classes before the practical exam?

Attending the five compulsory PCP (Personal Contact Program) classes before the practical exam is crucial, as it contributes to the FA (Formative Assessment) marks. Without attending these classes, you will not receive full marks for the practical exam.

How are marks allocated for practicals in the NS Board exams?

Marks for practicals are given based on two components: FA (Formative Assessment) and SA (Submission Assessment). FA is earned by attending the PCP classes, while SA is awarded by submitting the practical file, taking the written test, and participating in the viva.

What is the format for preparing a practical file for the NS Board exams?

The practical file should begin with the title 'M'. Then, include the objective, materials required, the experiment, procedure, calculations, filled-in tables, observations, and conclusions. Diagrams can be hand-drawn or printed and pasted.

What subjects require a practical file in the 10th and 12th classes?

In class 10th, practical files are required for subjects like Science, Technology, and vocational subjects. In class 12th, practical files are needed for subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science, and vocational courses.

What happens if a student fails the practical exam?

If a student fails the practical exam or does not submit the practical file, an SYCP (Special Practical Exam) remark will appear on their result. The student will have to retake the practical exam.

How many marks are needed to pass in practical subjects for class 10th and 12th?

For class 10th, you need to score 27 marks combined from practical and theory to pass in a practical subject. In class 12th, you need to score at least 33 marks in both practical and theory separately.

What is the significance of the 'hall ticket' for practical exams?

The hall ticket for practical exams is issued one week before the practical exam and includes details about the exam center. It is essential to bring this ticket on the day of the practical exam, as it specifies the exam location and date.

How can a student access the lab manual for practicals?

Students can access the lab manual by visiting the official NIOS website, selecting their class (10th or 12th), choosing the subject, and downloading the relevant lab manual. These manuals contain experiments and diagrams that must be included in the practical file.

What is the structure of the viva and written test in practical exams?

During the practical exam, the student will undergo a written test with four questions, from which two must be answered. Additionally, the viva involves the teacher asking basic questions about the practical file and experiments. The student's response to these questions will contribute to their assessment.
