Secondary
Classes IX to X — where board practicals begin and an IRS officer comes to talk about how he got there.
Classes IX – X
Someone whoactually did it.
The school runs Guiding Futures, Shaping Lives for Classes IX to XII. The 2025 session was taken by Mr. Ashutosh Kumar Pandey, IRS, Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax, who shared his own educational journey rather than a careers slide deck.
The measure of a programme like this is who agrees to come and speak as it is — and the school names its guests, with their office, every time.
- 01 A named guest Mr. Ashutosh Kumar Pandey, IRS.
- 02 His office Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax.
- 03 The audience Classes IX to XII, together.
- 04 What he brought His own educational journey.
And the reason for the rooms
Board practicalsstart here
Class IX is the year the laboratory programme stops being introductory. Physics, Chemistry and Biology each carry board practicals from Class IX to Class XII — the same practicals a board expects a candidate to have done, in rooms built for one subject each.

- Computer laboratories, junior and senior — 40+ machines each
- Robotics Lab — drone, 3-D printer and telescope
- Four inquiry rooms among the twelve laboratories
- Nalanda Library — 17,574 books — and the language laboratory

Two years, and a first board
Board practicals,and a clearer direction.
