Confirmation is typically subject to satisfactory performance reviews and document verification." }, { "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?", "a": "Kulapati Dr S Balakrishna Joshi Gurrukulam follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework." } ] }
