In the HSLC examination, the theory paper carries 80 marks, while the remaining 20 marks are allotted to internal assessment or practical work, depending on the subject. Students must secure 33% and pass both the theory and internal assessment components separately. For the NBSE HSSLC exam, most subjects are evaluated for 100 marks, with theory papers carrying 70 or 80 marks and practical/internal assessments carrying 20 or 30 marks, depending on the subject.
