Chandigarh: 30% EWS applicants allotted seats in centralised draw of lots

Hindustan Times  

Out of 2,820 applications received by the UT education department for admissions to the Economically Weaker Section and other disadvantaged groups for non-minority private schools, 836 or 29.6% of applicants were able to get a seat in the centralised draw of lots for the 2024-25 session held by the education department. Minority schools have reserved 15% of the total seats for EWS students and non-minority schools have reserved 25%. The 20 minority schools in the city were exempted from the centralised draw of lots and have conducted the EWS admissions at the school level. This comes in the backdrop of last year’s controversies, when St Kabir Public School, Sector 26 and later Vivek High School, Sector 38, were de-recognised by the UT education department for not reserving seats for EWS students.
