While entrance tests and interviews are usual practice for giving admission in schools across the country, a school in Gujarat follows a practice which would be termed uncommon by many. The Hemchandracharya Sanskrit Pathshala at Sabarmati in Ahmedabad only gives admission on the basis of aspirants' horoscope. Students are taught subjects like scriptures, Astrology, Ayurveda, Language, Grammar, Maths, Vedic Maths, Yoga, Athletics, Music, Arts, horse riding, Law and Vaastu among other things. The school gained international recognition after a student - Tushar Talawat - won laurels in Vedic maths competition at various levels. At the residential school, students wake up at 5 am and conduct day-to-day activities which include educational curriculum and cooking their own food.
