Houses
The students are divided into four houses - Ruby (red), Emerald (green), Sapphire (blue) and Topaz (yellow). Competition between the houses takes place in the form of inter-house activities like sports, athletics, and the Youth Festival. Meritorious houses are awarded house points, based upon their social activities throughout the academic year in such social activities like the annual athletic meet and the annual cultural meet (Youth Festival). At end of each year a house cup is awarded to the best House on basis of points earned.
