As part of the project work for non-science subjects, students may be asked to take up assignments or projects on the given topics lie budget or historical places.

Economics students may be asked to do project work on their family or personal budget, listing out their expenses on various things, while history students may have field visits to historical places such as forts and make a detailed project report as part of the assessment.

Presently, the Environmental Education subject is being conducted as an internal examination, which is qualifying in nature. However, marks obtained in this test will not be added to the total score.
