History
- Delta, since the beginning of its entity has always been a winner. it has always had an edge over others in various events, field games, cross country and also in the field of academics.
- With its history linked to the tax payers of Bihar, who contributed to the cost of its construction. Delta has been swapped with original Delta with reasons being in its history.
- Known as “Gentleman Squadron”, Delta boasts of having genial traditions which have always been the envy of the whole academy.
- The traditions set the groove with an entertaining jam session on New Year’s eve, the cake. The tradition of Mid Term mood on dinner night and Sunday prior to Mid Term Break makes it a paradise to live in. Dagger push up on Ashoka after winning a trophy is one of the outrageous traditions defying any orders and showing dagger's supremacy in the Academy.
