Hindi, History, and Geography are Elective Subjects and students have to opt for any one of them.
The academic session starts from January to December. After the completion of six months a 'Half Yearly Examination' is conducted. Then in the end of the year the Annual Examination is commenced. Every class teacher takes a 'Unit Test' on their subject throughout the year.
This is an initiative taken by the regional AASU committee to offer free coaching classes to the students during the summer vacation period. Students from other schools of the locality can join these summer classes.
The classes start from 10:00am. Before that is Morning Prayer. The students get together in a line in the front field or veranda and offer their prayer. The teachers join them. Then they go to their classrooms.
The Union is the general body of the students of the school. The union functions in accordance with its constitution. Office bearers of the Union Executives are elected annually and they function under the guidance of a teacher-in-charge appointed by the Principal. One student in every class is appointed 'Class Captain' to look after the class in the absence of class teacher. The 10th standard students get exemption from taking part in the union due to their preparation for matriculation.
For boys, the uniform is navy blue trousers and sky blue shirts. For girls, in the M.E. section, it is navy blue skirts and sky blue tops and in the high section mekhela chador (mekhela being white and chador being white with navy blue edge). Students wear a school-badge.
Annual events celebrated by the school include Republic Day, Independence Day, Teachers' Day, Saraswati pooja, the eve of the summer vacation and other regional/national festivals.
During the annual sports week students play cricket, football, volleyball, kabaddi, running, relay race, shot put, javelin, discus, long jump, high jump, triple jump, Ludo, chess, carrom, musical chairs, skipping, debate, oratory, creative writing, poetry recitation, music and drama.
At the end of the week is prize-giving day. From every class, one student is awarded as the 'Best Student of the Year' depending on their academic/discipline/attendance performance.
The farewell of the 10th standard students is a special occasion. After being passed out in the test examination, which is so crucial being a qualifying exam to matriculation, the students get together in the school for the last time.

The state is bordered by Bhutan and Arunachal Pradesh to the north; Nagaland and Manipur to the east; Meghalaya, Tripura, Mizoram and Bangladesh to the south; and West Bengal to the west via the Siliguri Corridor, a 22-kilometre-wide (14 mi) strip of land that connects the state to the rest of India.

Assamese cuisine is the cuisine of the Indian state of Assam. It is a style of cooking that is a confluence of cooking habits of the hills that favour fermentation and drying as forms of preservation and those from the plains that provide extremely wide variety of fresh vegetables and greens, and an abundance of fish and meat. Both are centred on the main ingredient — rice. It is a mixture of different indigenous styles with considerable regional variations and some external influences. The traditional way of cooking and the cuisine of Assam is very similar to South-East Asian countries such as Thailand, Burma (Myanmar) and others. The cuisine is characterized by very little use of spices, little cooking over fire, and strong flavours due mainly to the use of endemic exotic fruits and vegetables that are either fresh, dried or fermented. Fish is widely used, and birds like duck, pigeon, squab, etc. are very popular, which are often paired with a main vegetable or ingredient; beef used to be eaten before British colonialism, and some continue to do so. Preparations are rarely elaborate. The practice of bhuna, the gentle frying of spices before the addition of the main ingredients so common in Indian cooking, is absent in the cuisine of Assam. The preferred oil for cooking is the pungent mustard oil.
