Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Rajya Shiksha Kendra, Madhya Pradesh (RSKMP) released admit cards for the Class 5 and Class 8 annual exams 2024-25. Students can download their admit card from RSKMP examination portal (www.educationportal.mp.gov.in).
It is the responsibility of the Jan Shiksha Kendra in-charge and Jan Shikshaks to ensure that all students receive their admit cards. Schools must verify all details, including student profiles, selected subjects, and the medium of examination, and make necessary corrections on the portal if required.
The exams for both classes are scheduled to begin on February 24, 2025. The Class 5 exams will be held from February 24 to March 1, 2025, and the Class 8 exams will run from February 24 to March 5, 2025. Both exams will be conducted in the afternoon shift, from 2 PM to 4:30 PM.
New Exam Pattern and Evaluation for 2024-25: This year, RSKMP has introduced significant changes to the exam structure. The exams will feature 60 marks for the written examination, 20 marks for project work, and 20 marks for half-yearly exams.
Competency-Based Assessments: The exams will also incorporate competency-based questions. Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) will test 50% understanding, 30% application, and 10% knowledge recall. The aim is to shift from traditional rote learning to a more application-based, skill-driven assessment, promoting critical thinking and analytical skills.
Project Work:
The two projects submitted by students by January 31, 2025, will be evaluated by subject teachers and will play a key role in the final results. Additionally, projects in subjects like music and additional languages (e.g., Punjabi, Gujarati, Oriya, and Sanskrit) will also need to be submitted by the same deadline.
Exam Fairness and Passing Criteria:
Students must secure a minimum of 33% marks in both external and internal assessments to pass. If a student does not meet the required marks, they will be given supplementary teaching and the opportunity to reappear for the exam within two months. However, no student will be expelled, as no child will be denied elementary education.
