In JIRS, students appear for the May Examination Session of the Diploma Program. Each subject that is studied in the IB Diploma Program (IBDP) has an Internally Assessed (IA) component or coursework and an externally assessed component. All the assessments that are done in the IBDP are "criteria-referenced" and not "student-referenced". That is, each student’s performance is assessed against a set of criteria. These criteria are made available to each DP student during the orientation session conducted by the respective teachers at the commencement of the course.
Every university in the world and India recognizes the IB program. This means they will grant university entrance based on the student’s performance in the IB exams. The curriculum committee is headed by proficient IB teachers from around the world.
