To think that this school creates the best student is wrong. God help you if you are average or worse, decided not to run the rat race of PM/PD or JEEs or million other competitive exams. Can an institution take credit for the good performance of students in PM/PD JEE preparatory classes? What I want to know is how many students did not go for these classes and have performed well? Having studied in DAV for 7 years and having chosen not to take any of the million classes, I had to fend for myself. My physics teacher could not explain any concept and would rather have us repeat it a million time till we learnt it by-heart. The chemistry teacher did not like me, for whatever reason and was mean at every opportunity; don't even ask me about how rude the Maths teacher got with those of us ``not bright enough'' for her. Today, there are only a handful of teachers I look up to with respect. Years later, a psychiatrist told me that nearly half his clientele is from DAV. Kudos, indeed!
