Amar Shiksha Sadan Senior Secondary School, Sersa, Sonipat

We could not establish it, and we would rather say so than guess. The government register records the school as CBSE at both secondary and senior secondary level, and the school's own annual filing also states CBSE — but no CBSE affiliation number is published by any source we could reach, so nothing could be checked against CBSE's own register. Its website is a parked domain with no live pages. It also holds no state board affiliation. What it does hold is a Haryana senior secondary recognition order from 2007. Ask the school to show its affiliation certificate before a Class 10 or Class 11 admission — that document is the one that governs board registration.

Not confirmed, though there is a strong hint. The school declares a commerce laboratory and a social science laboratory alongside physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics, and it runs three sections in Class 11 for only 29 pupils — a pattern that usually means separate streams. But it names no streams anywhere, so we have not listed any. Ask directly.

Better than most in the block: ten digital boards and ten projectors across twenty-four classrooms, forty-four desktops, six laboratories including commerce and social science, a library of about 5,000 books and solar panels. There is no auditorium, no multipurpose hall and no music room.

This is Amar Shiksha Sadan at Sersa, near Kundli. It is not Amar Sports Senior Secondary School at Sehri, which is a different school in another village. Note also that Sonipat district contains more than thirty schools whose names end in Shiksha Sadan, so check the village when enquiring.

A monthly composite fee rising steadily from Class 1 to Class 12, plus a board examination fee in Classes 10 and 12. There is no admission fee, no prospectus charge and no registration fee at any grade. The school proposed no increase at all for the coming session.

Substantial — 103 children across five sections, about a sixth of the school.

131028, confirmed by India Post, which lists a Sersa post office under it, and agreed by both the government register and the school's own filing.
