ACADEMIC POLICY
We have 6 Pen-paper assessments (PPA) or exams for the students in a year, i.e four Periodic tests (PTs), one Half yearly exam and one Annual exam. We have two periodic tests in first term (Apr-Sept) and two in the second term (Oct-Feb).
Half yearly exams will be held in the month of September or October and the Annuals will be held in the month of February or March.

Date sheets and syllabus will be provided well in advance. No re-tests will be taken for the absentees for the exams.
