CBSE’s official marks for each group of units, and the practical or project.

Marks are printed for groups of units. CBSE does not split a group.

CBSE prints one mark figure for each group of units. It does not give separate marks inside a group.

Example: Units I-II together carry 16 marks. CBSE does not say how those marks divide inside the group, so do not split them.

Short answer. The Class 12 Physics theory paper is 70 marks and 3 hours. The practical is 30 marks. The marks are split over 5 groups: Units I-II 16, Units III-IV 17, Units V-VI 18, Units VII-VIII 12 and Unit IX 7.
