Practical Examination 2026
End-of-term examinations in computer studies practicals typically assess a mix of hands-on technical skills, application usage, and coding proficiency. These exams generally consist of live lab tasks, execution of programs, database queries, and a viva-voce covering topics like office automation tools, web designing, and programming languages.
Typical Exam Structure
- Duration: Often 1:30 to 2:30 hours (to allow sufficient time for coding, troubleshooting, and execution).
- Sections: Usually divided into sections (e.g., Section A: Coding/Program Execution, Section B: Lab File/Project Record, Section C: Viva-Voce/Oral Interview).
- Total Marks: Commonly 30 to 50 marks, which are later combined with theory marks for the final grade.
- Format: Often includes performing specific tasks on the computer, writing the output on a supplementary sheet, and demonstrating the running project to the external examiner.
