​Flexible Exam Options

​​​
-
Complete Both Practical and Theory Exams
-
Complete a Practical-Only Exam
-
Complete a Theory-Only Exam
​​​
Single Theory Requirement Per Grade
Candidates who are completing multiple exams across different subjects are required to sit only one Theory Exam per Grade.
​
For example:
If Dinesh completed Grade 5 Miruthangam (Both Practical and Theory Exams) in April and applies to complete a Grade 5 Vocal Exam in September, he is only required to apply for the Practical Only Examination. His Theory Score for Grade 5 Miruthangam will be applied to his final Grade 5 Vocal result.
