From classes 4 to 10 the uniform is a white shirt with full-length navy blue pants, white shoes and navy blue sweater (for winter only). The school's monogram is printed on the shirt's pocket.

Exam system and results edit

There are two terms in a year. The first is the "half-yearly" term (January – June), and the second is the "annual" term (July – December). Two class tests are taken before both half yearly and annual examination. Students get their results digitally printed. The final result is announced taking 40% numbers from 'Half-yearly' term and 40% number from 'Annual' Term and 20% number from class test examinations. For classes 8, and 10, students sit for a "test exam" instead of an "annual exam."

Teachers-guardians conference edit

Teacher-guardian conferences are called periodically.

Library edit

The books in the library were largely bought by coeval sanctioned money during the establishment of the school. Others were bought by annually approved money. For the reason of Enam Committee the post 'librarian' was discontinued but now it is running under a teacher of this school.

School magazine edit

The name of the school magazine is ANKUR. The magazine is sourced by current students writing every year.

Students' association edit

The former students of DGBHS are known as DExSAn (sometimes referred to Dboys), a phrase initially proposed by Dboys' Ex-Students Association (DExSA) just before its wider acceptance. DExSA, however, is the alumni association of the institution.

Extracurricular sports edit

The annual sports competition is organised by the school authority in February each year and includes sprints (100 to 400 meters), long jump, and high jump.
