Student evaluation

edit

In each subject, the pass percentage is 60%, which is comparatively high compared to other schools. The scores obtained by a student in the written and laboratory exams decide the ultimate aggregate percentage of a pupil. The marks of assignments and project work are included in the overall percentage.

Oral examinations are taken in lower grades but in higher grades more focus is on the lab work. The students scoring above the pass percentage are only promoted to the next grade. The active participation of the student in competitions and functions is taken into account for his/her promotion to the next grade.
