Application Rules and Eligibility

This year, authorities removed the earlier restriction of selecting schools within a one kilometre radius.

Applicants can now choose schools within 1 km, 1 to 3 km, and beyond 3 km categories.

Guardians were also given the option to edit submitted forms through an ‘unconfirm’ facility. Officials advised applicants to correct any errors, as incomplete or incorrect details may lead to cancellation of admission.

Applicants were required to upload all necessary documents during submission.

Officials stated that incomplete documentation at the verification stage can result in disqualification, even if a student is selected in the lottery.

Key Instructions for Parents

Parents were instructed to verify address details and location coordinates before final submission. Certain details, including the child’s date of birth, cannot be modified once submitted.

Duplicate applications for the same child will be disqualified from the process.

Authorities clarified that only nationalised bank passbooks will be accepted as valid proof of residence. Gas books will not be considered.

For children with disabilities, a minimum of 40 per cent disability certification is mandatory for eligibility.
