Calculator models NOT included in either of these lists will be permitted to be used for APhO examinations only if they satisfy the following criteria:
- Calculators should not have a graphing mode.
- Their display must not have more than three rows for any function, like matrix mode.
- Calculators should not contain equation solver or integration function.
- Should not have stored physical constants (e.g. gravitational constant) in their inbuilt memory.
Front panel photos of such calculators must be sent for verification to the apho.2022.india@gmail.com prior to the examination and the decision of the Centre Coordinator to allow/disallow a particular calculator will be final and binding.
