Outstanding Achievements
While academic merit plays a key role in
deciding the outcome of your application, we also consider exceptional achievements in co-
curricular activities and competitions.  You must have attained a very high level of
achievement or leadership positions in activities. Examples of such achievements include
International Science Olympiad medals, top national awards, national team sportsmen and
exceptional rank in top university entrance examinations (e.g. IIT/AIEEE rankings, etc).
Participation in activities and achievements at intra school, house or class level (e.g. best
student, most courteous, science/arts/cultural projects, etc) do not, usually, have a strong
bearing on the outcome of your application.
