Common Annual School Examination-(CASE) 2022-23 will be based on complete
syllabus.
Annual Examination(CASE) -2023
Note for the Teachers:
1. The chapter Natural Resources (NCERT Chapter 14) will not be assessed in the year-end
examination. However, learners may be assigned to read this chapter and encouraged to prepare a
brief write up on any concept of this chapter in their Portfolio. This may be for Internal Assessment
and credit may be given for Periodic Assessment/Portfolio.
2. The NCERT text books present information in boxes across the book. These help students to get
conceptual clarity. However, the information in these boxes would not be assessed in the year-end
examination.
