11. Principles underlying Sec 2 Streaming Process (Normal Technical)

12. Our basic approach is to provide a set of courses in which you can score well and which will allow you the widest choice of course at the next level. The school is determined to help every BPIAN to achieve this target. We will work with parents to get a win-win situation for every one of you.

13. It is important to realise that having more subjects does NOT guarantee getting a better L1B2. It is better to take six subjects and get As than take seven subjects and score a mixture of As and Bs.
