Admission to class XI

The Senior School Certificate Course offered here is conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi, and is a two year Post Secondary Course which has been recognized by all Indian Universities as equivalent to the Intermediate College Examination.

1. Since admission to class XI is designed to be SELECTIVE in the Government’s scheme of education, students of class X must apply for admission to class XI when applications are called for and appear for an Aptitude Test.
2. Apart from the minimum qualification prescribed by the Central Board, the school has its own norms of eligibility for admission. Eligibility will depend on the following:

• High academic performance in the All India Secondary School Examination, the entrance test, sent-up examination, pre-board examination and his/her performance in class X.
• Regularity in attendance and work during IX-X. Thus, only those students can be accommodated who in addition to mental ability have also displayed serious application to studies.
• Character and conduct of the candidate should be such that during the course here at St. Michael’s School he/she has shown clear evidence that he/she has benefited from the character formation offered in the school. Mere academic performance will not make the student eligible for admission to class XI. The principal, in the consultation with the governing body of the school is the final arbiter in this matter.

3. For the science stream, an average of 85% or the corresponding grade in maths and science is expected. An aggregate of 70% or the corresponding grade is a must for the commerce stream.
