Section 22(b) in Rules for the Grant of Recognition and Aid to Elementary Schools
(b)When joining another school, a pupil shall be asked to produce the record sheet obtained by him from the school previously attended by him. When a pupil seek admission for the first time into a school not having studied in any school previously, he shall be placed in the standard of class which the headmaster, or headmistress considers suitable. When a pupil leaves one school and joins another, the headmaster or headmistress of the latter school shall ordinarily place him in the standard or class to which the transfer certificate, or record-sheet declares him fit. In case where the pupil has been placed in a class or standard higher or lower than that for which his transfer certificate or record sheet declares him fit, the headmaster or headmistress shall preserve a record of any test he may have made of the pupil's attainment and immediately report such case to the Inspecting Officer. The Inspecting Officer may order the removal of any pupil from one standard to another if it seems desirable. A record sheet shall be maintained for each pupil in the school by the headmaster or headmistress in the form prescribed in the Appendix 3 to the rules framed under the Madras Elementary Education Act, 1920.
