EXAMINATIONS & ENDOWMENTS
EXAMINATIONS
Two examinations are held every year. The half-yearly examination is held in March/April and the Annual Examination is held in September. External examiners who are experts in the field are invited to assess the students’ competence.
ENDOWMENTS
Endowment is our proud tradition. “The Endowment Day” was celebrated for the first time on Sunday, the 20th of March, 2005. The Endowment Day was a day set apart exclusively to recognize and appreciate the contribution of the Endowment Donors for the promotion of classical music and dance and also to give away the endowment prizes at the hands of the respective donors. Prizes and certificates for proficiency and competition to students of the School for excellence are distributed on this day. By their presence, the donors had amply demonstrated that they are with the Fine Arts Society in its objective of spreading good musical education. The numbers of donors are increasing year by year.
