• All students from L.K.G. to Class XII will appear for Terminal Examinations at the end of each term.
• Monthly test portions and schedules will be communicated in advance by the respective class teachers.
• Students must be punctual and well-prepared for all assessments.
• Any student absent without a valid reason during Monthly or Terminal Examinations will be
• marked absent and considered to have failed in that subject. No re-examinations will be conducted under any circumstance.

Additional Guidelines

• Internal assessments, monthly tests, class participation, and terminal examination results are also taken into consideration for final promotion decisions.
• Students failing to meet the minimum promotion criteria may be required to repeat the class, as per the discretion of the Principal and the academic committee.
• In special cases, promotion may be granted on a conditional basis with appropriate support measures, if deemed necessary by the school authorities.
• Regular attendance, discipline, and participation in co-curricular activities also influence the holistic evaluation process.

• Uncombed hair
• Unpolished shoes
• Wearing an improper or incomplete uniform
• Use of micro tip / ballpoint pens

Disciplinary Action for Malpractice

• Cheating in any form during examinations is a serious offence.
• Students found indulging in malpractice will be:

We encourage parents to help students stay consistent in their study schedules and maintain discipline during the assessment periods. Regular preparation, honesty, and presentation are key to a successful academic journey at BVM.
