DELHI PUBLIC SCHOOL,

SUSHANT LOK

Class XI

(2018-19)

Orientation Programme for Parents

Your wards have entered the +2 stage. The+2 refers to the two years of studying postclass X in a specialized stream chosen byyour ward. Class XI is the foundation yearof class XII with success in class XI beingcritical to success in class XII. Both thecurriculum and all the details pertaining tothe examination, syllabus and choice ofsubjects at this level is governed by CBSEand its Bye laws.

Choice of Stream and Subjects

The school offers three streams

HUMANITIES ;

COMMERCE with or without MATHS

SCIENCE ; PCM, PCB

Every child is expected to have five main

subjects – English and four others.

The Optional Sixth Subject

The board however also gives the studentsthe option of choosing an additional sixthsubject. In our school we offer PhysicalEducation or Painting as the additionalsixth subject.

The purpose of the sixth subject is twofold.

The sixth subject can become a savior for yourward.

The sixth subject can improve the aggregatepercentage of your ward.

CBSE Registration in Class XI:

Student’s details and the subjects chosen by them are registered with CBSE in September. These subjects are then continued in class XII.

White forms seeking information will be sent to you in the First Week of August.

All 5 subjects chosen and the sixth one is to be filled in it.

All data is to be filled very clearly and cautiously. Avoid any overwriting in it.

The information filled in it will be used for CBSE registration for class XI.

The special/additional documents required for registration (OBC certificate, medical assessment reports in case of students with special needs, copy of Aadhaar card of student etc.) to be submitted to the class teacher along with the white forms.

Review of Main Subjects and

Optional Sixth Subject

Your ward’s stream (five main subjects) have been finalized after

declaration of class X board result.

We hope that the subjects have been chosen keeping in mind your

wards interest as well as abilities. Because every child is different with

their own strengths and weakness. So before registration please look

at the subjects chosen honestly and realistically, as we do not want to

put the student under undue stress and pressure.

If you feel that your ward is finding it difficult to cope up with a specific

subject, it would be better to change it before registration. By the

time of Registration, two rounds of FA's would be over which would be

good indicators of your ward's ability to handle a subject.

Also do consider once again the option ofadditional sixth subject.

Sometime we insist upon 6th subject on thebasis of the student’s performance if we feelthat the child might struggle to cope up withone of the main subjects. Kindly take theschool or the teachers advice seriously.

It becomes difficult to change subjectslater on as CBSE is becomingincreasingly strict about change ofsubjects later on.
