eneral Paper has to be taken as a compulsory subject (AS level). From the remaining subject area, a student needs to be choose a minimum of three full A level credit subjects or two full A level credit subjects and two AS level credit subjects. A student may opt for more than three subjects but it is totally at the discretions of the school management to allow or reject an extra option to a student. However, if a student is allowed to take an option, she/he needs to pay extra fee per extra option beside the normal three full credits (A level) and one half credit (AS level).

* Computing and Art & Design are both AS and A level subjects. At Rupy’s we offer AS Level in these two subjects.

Important Note:
Course options proposed by students are subject to approval hand on the fulfillment of maximum number of students in a particular course as per the school rules.

Typical UK university entrance requirements are there ‘A’ level passes at minimum grade ‘C’ for academic courses in well-established universities.
