Single Club Membership: The college encourages students to explore multiple clubs based on their interests. However, they can take active membership of a single club. During the application process, the aspirants can mention their priority of clubs for their selection in membership.

Additional Eligibility Criteria: Some clubs may have additional eligibility criteria based on specific interests, skills, or prerequisites. Candidates should carefully review these requirements before applying to ensure they meet the criteria for their chosen club.

Compliance with College Policies: All club members must comply with the policies and guidelines established by the college. This includes but is not limited to respecting the code of conduct, adhering to campus facility rules, fostering inclusivity, and maintaining a safe and respectful environment for all members.

Selection Procedure

1. Announcement of Clubs and Application Submission

The school announces available clubs at the beginning of the academic year. The interested students can apply for membership along with the credentials they require to prove their potential. The application process is available both online and offline. Students may indicate their preferred clubs and demonstrate their first choice, second choice, etc.

2. Screening / Shortlisting

Applications are reviewed based on eligibility criteria. As the membership is limited in each club, shortlisting will be done based on prior experience or interest shown. An executive body is formed, including the ECA Coordinator/College Administration and former members, to undertake this step.

3. Audition/ Interview

The executive body can call for an audition if required. The aspirants must prove their potential and justify their worth with a practical trial or presentation. It also may include an interview that includes a brief interaction to assess interest, commitment, and attitude.

4. Final Selection

From the interviewed applicants, the executive body selects 4 students from grade 11 and one from grade 12, who best meet the club’s requirements and exhibit the potential to contribute actively. The additional members can be selected in case of vacant positions. The executive considers factors such as leadership skills, teamwork ability, creativity, and past experiences related to the club’s focus.

Selected students are listed and approved by the executive body. The final list of selected students is published on the notice board or the school portal. Selected students confirm their participation within a given deadline with a consent form. An orientation program is conducted to introduce goals, rules, and schedules to the new members. After the orientation, the clubs call their separate meetings and select their presidents. Although a leader is selected in each club, all members have equal authority and hence can exhibit their vibrancy equally.

Although the membership is limited, all students are free to participate in the activities of all the clubs.
