Like in the past years, the Indian School Board managed to provide a seat to every child who applied for admissions to its schools. A total number of 4422 children have applied for admission and been allotted seats through the online random draw system in the Indian Schools of the capital area for the academic year 2018-2019. The numbers account for admission of students from KG 1 to Class IX standards.
In the first random draw held in the first week of March, 4098 students were allotted seats for various classes. Efforts were made to augment facilities in the second draw so as to accommodate all the waitlisted students. In spite of the large number of applicants, Board has managed to allot seats to all waitlisted students in the second draw.
The on line application portal will again be activated for fresh admissions to all classes from 5 April 2018. Parents need to take a print out of the duly filled on line application form and approach the school where admission is required. Admission will be granted subject to availability of seats.
The Board of Directors in its commitment to provide quality education to the children of Indian diaspora ensures that no child would sit at home for want of admission. The upcoming School at Al Ansab which is expected to become operational in April 2019 will help decongest the existing schools and ease the burden of parents whose children are currently studying in the afternoon shifts. .
