Dear Parent,
When the option subjects were decided there was no clarity on the availability of the books for the optional subjects, hence an approximate charge of Rs 1500 was taken for the same.
Going forward and after a lot of searches, it was found that there are no specific books available for both Artificial Intelligence and Elements of Books and Accountancy.
Also, as Artificial Intelligence is a new subject we researched and signed up an MoU with Stemrobo for the same. They have provided a lot of reading material and content via a login. For the same, they are charging Rs 1500 per student so the amount paid for the option subject books are adjusted there. In addition to this, a CBSE handbook will be added to the AI Classroom for reference.
In the case of the Elements of Books and Accountancy or Painting, the school is preparing the topic wise reading material from various sources and would be added to the classroom as the classes progress.
We hope this resolves your query about the utilisation of the amount paid for the Option subjects.
Regards
BTGS Admin
