Each class is divided into four sections — 'A', 'B', 'C' and 'D' — But in 2007 admission there were included tho extra sections — 'E' and 'F' — in class 1 for only that year; Because in that year there were more meritorious students than the number of allotted seats for class 1 students. each sections contains 60 students.

The houses are named after four legends which each respresent a human quality: Al Biruni (Scholarship), Al Ma'mun (Good governance), Omar Khayam (Youth) and Salahuddin (Bravery). Each house has a colour; yellow, blue, green and red respectively.[5]
In 1962 a system for distributing tiffin was introduced. Money is deducted from the student's academic fees each month which entitles them to such snacks as singara, samucha, nimki, paratha and bundia or daal, jilapi, chopbun, cake, bananas, bread, eggs and sweets.
