Finishing School
- About Finishing School: The self-sponsored certificate course is aimed at personality development. The motto of the course - “to be a better human” - is the central theme aimed at student’s quality improvement.
Started in 2013 under the supervisorship of the then Principal, Dr. Tawnenga Pachuau, the Finishing School is a wholly self- financed school aimed at Personality Development and Skill Training for the students. The motto- “Mind Without Fear”- has been adopted to symbolize that the courses offered are specifically tailored to meet the needs of graduating students, who will receive the information and training necessary to go forth in life fearlessly, whether they decide to opt for higher education, employment or other pursuits.
HISTORY:
The School was established in 2013 and was the first of its kind in Mizoram.
