“Earlier, the Private Unaided Recognized Schools running on the land allotted by DDA/other Government agencies had been following the manual procedure for admission of EWS in the neighborhood to the extent of 20 percent in the fresh admission in classes II onwards,” the DoE said.
“It was decided to fill all such vacancies/seats available under free-ship quota through computerized draw of lots after inviting online applications, in the similar manner as is being done in case of admissions at the entry-level classes under EWS/DG category in Private Unaided Recognized Schools,” it added.
The Admission process involves computerized draw-of-lots for Class II onwards for the vacant seats available.
