- The Headmaster or the Principal if he is satisfied as to the antecedents, of the pupil, may then admit him to the class for which he considers him fit, but if the admission is to class VI or VII of a High school, he should mark the entry in the admission book with an asterisk. When the Regional Deputy Director of Education, the District Education Officer, the Sub-divisional Education Officer next visits the school he should satisfy himself that the pupils whose names are thus marked have been admitted to the proper classes/ No one should be admitted to a class higher than class VII of a recognised High school unless he/she produces a transfer certificate from another recognised school or appears at and passes the annual examination of the next lower classes of the school. The system of admission examination is necessary for improving the quality of work in the High school and the results at the Secondary School Examination. The examination should be conducted carefully and impartially and records of the results kept.Note. - Admission of girl students in classes VIII and IX who have not got transfer certificate or could not appear at and pass the annual examination of the class next below at the beginning of the session may be done after a special test within a fortnight of the opening of the school every year; the special test should be of a proper standard and only deserving girls should be admitted.(G.O. no, 27761-E., dated the 7th August 1954.)
