CBSE Class 11 Computer Science Practical Syllabus - Marking Scheme

This table explains how the 30 marks for your Class 11 Computer Science practical exam
(lasting 3 hours) will be divided. It shows what aspects of your performance will be evaluated.

Unit Marks
S.No. Name (Total=30) Description

- Python program execution (60%): Assesses the program's

logic and ability to solve the given problem.

Documentation (20%): Evaluate the clarity and completeness

of comments explaining the code.

Code quality (20%): Focuses on code readability, efficiency,

1 Lab Test 12 and proper formatting.

www.vedantu.com 5
 - Report File (7 marks): Minimum 20 Python programs
documented and presented in a well-organised report.

Report - Viva voce (3 marks): Oral assessment of the student's

File + understanding of Python concepts and the submitted
2 Viva 10 programs.

- Project using Python (8 marks): Evaluate the student's

ability to apply learned concepts to create a more substantial
Python application. Ideally, the project should demonstrate a
3 Project 8 variety of skills from the covered curriculum.
