While preparing the merit list, the education department will prepare the merit by adding the marks of the children in 5 subjects of class 10th. Like last year, this time also the seats will be allotted on the basis of 85 percent and 15 percent. In the government schools of the city, there is more choice of getting admission on the basis of reserved seats in 85-15 and in some schools on the basis of sports quota.

Last year many children had applied in the quota of government schools. Seats were allotted by the department but after verification of documents their allotted seats were cancelled. They could not get seats in either 85 or 15 percent and had to turn to private schools in the city. This time the department has warned the children to apply according to their quota.
