Arrive by 10:00 AM or forfeit entry—CBSE’s firm rule amid expected urban chaos from events. Controller Dr. Sanyam Bhardwaj advises accounting for jams, diversions, and weather in travel plans.
Pack wisely: Hard-copy admit card mandatory; school ID, writing tools (blue pen, pencil, etc.), and clear water bottle allowed. Blanket ban on gadgets, electronics, bags, literature.
Immediate same-day reporting for paper issues via OCMS portal is crucial. Schools often falter with untimely, imprecise emails—CBSE demands clarity and adherence, ignoring subpar inputs.
