Chandigarh Chhaya School of Art is a premier examination board for Indian art & culture, dedicated to preserving, promoting and empowering India's rich heritage through quality education and standardised examinations.
The foundation of this institution was laid in 1999 by Mrs. Suman Saini, a passionate art educator. She entrusted her vision to Dr. Koushik Sinha and Dr. Praveen Sinha, who transformed a small dream — beginning with only two students — into one of India's most respected cultural examination organisations.
Every element of our examination framework exists to do one thing — give genuine talent a structure it can grow inside, and a credential the world takes seriously.
Every successful candidate receives a marks-sheet and certificate issued under the board's seal — accepted for school credits, scholarships and teaching eligibility.
From -Praveshika to Swarna shri Rattan (8th Year) - Clear ladder that turns interest into mastary over the year not the weeks.
Assessments are conducted by trained, independent examiners. Theory papers and live practicals are marked separately for full transparency.
3,500+ affiliated centres across 22 states mean a candidate in Srinagar and one in Pune sit the very same paper.
National art competitions, cultural evenings, exhibitions and workshops give students a stage far beyond the exam hall.
Affiliated centres receive full syllabi, question-paper patterns, examiner training and year-round academic support.
Music, dance, painting, fine arts, yoga, drama, instrumental music, recitation, beautician and many other creative subjects — each with its own graded syllabus.
