Timings of Examinations in Bharatanatyam or Kathak

From September 2005, the Faculty is moving from candidates being examined singly to group examinations in which the prepared performance is carried out in a group, followed by individual questioning. This has affected the time allocation for examinations. The chart below clarifies the new time allocations.
