2. The streaming of a student to a particular class is also guided by her choice and the overall performance in the subjects. (eg. EL, Math, Sc, Lit, Geog, Hist)

3. For classes with Pure Sciences & Additional Math, students must satisfy the criterion of the subject.

4. Allocation of student to a subject combination is done based on merit and also subjected to availability of school resources.
