Can you explain the role of practical exams in overall assessment for the JAC 12th exams?

Practical exams play a significant role in the overall assessment for the JAC 12th exams, especially for subjects that include practicals including Biology, Physics and Chemistry. Practical exams help students learn and understand scientific concepts and apply theoretical knowledge in real-life or experimental situations.

To pass the JAC 12th exams , students must secure a minimum of 33% marks both in aggregate and individually in theory and practical papers. For subjects with practicals, the theory paper carries 80 marks, and the practical paper carries 20 marks, with students required to pass both papers separately.

Hello Rashmi,

The role of practical exams in the overall assessment for the JAC 12th exams includes following :

1. Skill Evaluation : Practical exams assess students' hands-on abilities in subjects like science, arts, and vocational courses.
2. Weightage : They carry a significant weight in the final marks, usually around 30-40% depending on the subject.
3. Understanding Application : They test the application of theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios.
4. Boosting Marks : High performance in practicals can improve overall scores, especially if theory marks are low.
5. Practical Knowledge : They ensure students understand the concepts deeply beyond memorization.

Hope it helps !
