CBSE Class 12 Mathematics Marking Scheme 2026
| Marking point | How it is applied |
|---|---|
| Value-point marking | Marks are awarded against the value points (steps) given in the official marking scheme; the marks of an answer are split across its steps. |
| Own expression | The marking scheme carries suggested value points only. A correct answer in the student's own words is awarded due marks. |
| Competency-based questions | If a competency-based answer is not from the marking scheme but shows the correct competency, due marks are awarded. |
| Errors | An error is penalised only once; no marks are deducted for its cumulative effect. |
| Incorrect answer | A totally incorrect answer is awarded zero (0) marks. |
| Scale of marks | The full scale of 0 to 80 marks is used and full marks are awarded whenever the answer deserves them. |
