*Time Expected to be spent outside school hours.
Note : While designing the courses it has been presumed that, given margin for vacations, public holidays and other contingencies, a minimum of 30 weeks of teaching time will be available in each session for actual instructional transaction. Accordingly the distribution of periods over units and sub-units has been done which is only suggestive in character. The school, keeping the overall number of periods in each subject/area the same, may assign more or less number of periods to individual units according to their relative importance, if thought necessary. The distribution of marks over each unit (unit wise weightage), is however, prescriptive hence shall remain, unchanged.

Framework for SALD is given in Appendix ‘A’.
