The ceremony was attended by members of DPS-MIS executive committee, Asna Nafees, principal; vice principals, headmistress, key functionaries, parents and the high achievers. The programme commenced with a prayer by Saumya Murgai, a student of Grade XI. The highlights of Grade X and XII results were presented by Rakhi Mishra, academic co-ordinator Grade XI and XII, and Vijayshree Nair, academic co-ordinator Grade IX and X.
DPS-MIS once again achieved 100% pass ratio for both the batches of 2019-2020. Najah Ismail, school topper in Grade XII, also secured the position of the Gulf topper in the science stream with an aggregate of 98.6%.

Speaking on the occasion, Yasir Nainar praised the high achievers and advised them to remain tenacious, committed and resolute in their future endeavours, carrying forward the legacy of their alma mater.
Asna Nafees congratulated the star performers and expressed her pride in receiving the award of ‘excellence in academics’ in the Gulf region on behalf of the students for eight consecutive years. “In 2019-20, the healthy school average between 85-90 percent is a clear indication of the fact that the last student is not left out,” said the principal. She also lauded the efforts of the teachers.
