Campus Location in Bihar: Simultala

In 2000, after Jharkhand separated from Bihar, realization struck that schools which were established to provide a firm ground to meritorious students like the Indira Gandhi Residential School, Hazaribagh for girls, and Bihar's pride the Netarhat Residential School had both gone to Jharkhand. Since that time, an urgent need was felt to establish schools that would eliminate the vacuum created by their loss. On 12 August 2009 some alumni of Netarhat, on the initiative and invitation of the Chief Minister of Bihar, Nitish Kumar, came forward to help the state government by adopting roles suitable for them on the basis of their experience at Netarhat. Taking into consideration the need for the present circumstances it was accepted by the general consensus that the medium of instruction would be English. On the suggestion of Chief Minister Kumar in the meeting, it was also decided that only one school would be opened that would be co-educational and would provide a common platform to both meritorious boys and girls to garner quality education under the guidance of qualified and experienced teachers chosen from all over the country. Under the guidance of the State Government's Human Resource Department's Principal Secretary Anjani Kumar Singh, the department set the wheels in motion in a record time of less than a year. The first batch of 120 students reached Simultala on 6/7 August 2010 and on 9 August 2010, Minister Kumar officially inaugurated Simultala Awasiya Vidyalaya. [5]

Academics

The School's Principal and faculty who have been chosen at the national level are not only entrusted to provide quality education to the students but also to continuously and meticulously watch their progress. The progress report would in each month be marked on the basis of the student's effort, success and sincerity in each subject by that subject's teacher. In an extremely simplified manner, every month students are assessed in a monthly examination in the form of Formative Assessment. Classwork and homework are also continuously monitored. At the end of each term, the Summative Assessment of each paper is done in the traditional examination format where the progress of each student is assessed by that subject's teacher and the progress report card is prepared on the guidelines of C.B.S.E and the finally prepared progress card is sent to the parents/guardians. At the end of each academic year, a traditional examination is held where 50% weightage is given to the combined marks in the various examinations held throughout the year which is combined with the marks gained in the final examination which is prepared using the CGPA procedure.

The school will have 265 working days (inclusive of Sundays, Holi and other official holidays) in one year and 100 days of vacation. In one academic session, there will be two semesters and one final examination. Holidays would be declared thrice in each session namely summer vacations (60 days) and Festival Break(40 days). Each semester's results would be worth 50 marks i.e., 10 marks each for 2 formative assessment results and 30 marks for Summative Assessment. For the results of the examinations held at the end of each session, 30% weightage would be given to marks attained in the examination and 10% for the monthly test held. For the annual examination results, 50% weightage would be given to the four formative tests and the two summative tests along with the 50% weightage to the marks gained in the annual examination and the final CGPA would then be prepared. [7]
