April academic year with northeast monsoon interruptions that belong on the holiday master. INR tuition; transport along OMR is a billed head. Term bundles are common. Tamil Nadu SSLC transfer certificates and CBSE files both arrive; language-medium notes matter for placement. Samacheer Kalvi and CBSE internals must not share a mark book that teachers export to Excel.
OMR versus city routes; contractors differ, the student record should not. A few older campuses board. Night roll is not homeroom attendance. Chennai’s recognised schools sit with Tamil Nadu SSLC and Samacheer Kalvi structures, plus CBSE and a smaller IB set. Chennai Corporation neighbourhoods and OMR IT corridors do not share the same bus reality, so transport is a fee and operations problem, not a pin on a map. The northeast monsoon can close or shorten days. If those dates are not on the holiday master, attendance and exam seating will disagree in November.
