Classes have been called off in the school from November 26 until the end of elections. The vote counting will take place on December 12.

However, the students of the school are set to undertake their annual examination December 20.

“The school will remain shut for 20 days due to the panchayat elections which will result in great loss for students, especially when their annual examinations are around the corner. This will also reflect in the poor performance for our school during Gunotsav next years,” informed an assistant teacher of the school.  

He added that five teachers of some important subjects are absent for the last two years because of NRC duty.
