The salient features of the CBSE Proficiency Test

The salient features of the CBSE Proficiency Test 2011 are as follows:

a) Only those students are allowed to take the proposed test(s) who have applied through the schools and paid requisite fee.

c) Question Paper in every subject will carry 100 marks.

d)  The  timings  of  the  test will  be  from  10.30  a.m.  to  01.00  p.m.  in  each subject.

e) It will be a Paper?Pen Test. All questions will be of Multiple Choice type. A  student will  be  required  to mark  the  answers  in  a given OMR  sheet with blue/black ball point pen only.

f)  General  guidelines,  sample  questions  in  every  subject  and  information about  overall  design  of  the  question  paper  are  available  on  CBSE website.  Please note that  instead of Paper Pencil Test, as stated  in the Guidelines, it will be a Paper?Pen Test.  This important change may be brought to the notice of all students and parents.

j) Students  appearing  in  the  test will  be  issued  a  certificate  by  the Board indicating percentile rank.

h) The Roll Number to the students would remain the same as that of Class X Examination.  There is a possibility that Roll numbers would not be in continuity and there would be certain gaps as all the students have not applied for the Proficiency Test.  Accordingly, you may kindly make the seating  arrangement.   However,  Admit  Cards  are  being  sent  to  the students through the school which has sponsored the students.
