### Migration

[edit]

The migration of students in class 9 takes place every year to JNV Dumka. Also, approximately the same number of students immigrate here from that school. It aims at bringing regional harmony and unity against regionalism. It also gives the students a chance to learn languages other than their own. The students have to fill out the willingness form to assure that they are ready for migration at the time of admission. The selection of students is based on willingness, and if it does not meet the 30% requirement of the batch in 9th grade, a lot system is adopted.
