ISC Class 12 Chemistry Blueprint 2025-26 for Practical

There will be practical work (Paper II) for 15 Marks. Candidates will have to complete the suggested experiments.
The ISC Class 12 Project Work and Practical file for Chemistry will carry 15 marks. For the project work (10 marks), a Visiting Examiner appointed locally and approved by the Council will assess. The candidate is to creatively execute one project/assignment on an aspect of Chemistry. Teachers may assign or students may select a topic of their choice.
Suggested Evaluation criteria for Project Work:
  • Introduction / purpose
  • Contents
  • Analysis/ material aid (graph, data, structure, pie charts, histograms, diagrams, etc.)
  • Presentation
  • Bibliography
For the practical file, that will carry 5 marks, a Visiting Examiner is required to assess students on the basis of the Chemistry Practical file maintained by them during the academic year.
