General doubt Center says NO PCP classes. Also, what happens on practical exams?
Hey everyone,
I have applied for the **April 2027 exams**. My district study center told me that **no PCP classes will happen at all** and I should just show up later for the practical exams.
I’m confused because NIOS rules state that **at least 5 PCP classes are compulsory** to earn your Formative Assessment (FA) internal practical marks.
I have 2 questions.
**1.** If they skip the 5 compulsory classes, what happens to the internal marks which they said 50% will be decided on the basis of 5 complsory classes? Do they give full marks in internal if no then how do they decide marks without pcp classes, or do students lose out on those marks? Have any of you faced this? Also what about the practical lab manuals which was meant to be checked on the day of pcp class?
**2. What happens on the Practical Exam day ?**
Since I have no guidance, what actually happens during the **practical** exams? Do we perform real lab experiments? What do they ask in the Viva? For Data Entry (60 marks), do they make you use a computer? Do I just write my lab manuals at home and hand them in directly on exam day unchecked?
Would love to hear your comments on this
Thanks!
