Reserved seats open in more than 1500 private schools of Jamshedpur, apply immediately

This year, under Mission Admission in Jamshedpur, the process of admission on reserved quota seats of private schools has already been started. This time the department has started preparations two months earlier than the last session. So that eligible children can get admission in schools on time. The admission process for the seats earmarked for Economically Weaker Section (EWS) and deprived sections in all the private schools of the city will start from December 8. This initiative has been ensured under the Children’s Right to Education Act (RTE).

The District Education Department has issued instructions to all the private schools and parents of the city that they will be able to fill online applications from the scheduled date. The aim of the department is that this time no child should miss the opportunity due to lack of information. In previous years, many children were deprived of filling the form due to lack of documents or wrong information. Therefore, this time the department has already started wide publicity.

Some important criteria have been set for parents and children applying under the reserved quota. The annual income of the applicant family should be maximum Rs 72,000. Proof of age and residence of the child is mandatory. Besides, the family will also have to submit income certificate from the local authority. Officially, documents related to income should be issued between 30 September 2021 to 30 September 2022. In the absence of these documents the form will not be considered valid.

According to the District Education Department, this time many private schools have increased the number of reserved seats. Earlier where 70 to 90 seats were available. At the same time, now it has increased to 1504 seats. This process will be implemented in 1524 private schools of the city, out of which 1504 schools have sent the information about their seats to the department. This increase is a big opportunity for poor and needy children, so that they will be able to get better private education.

The department says that this decision has been taken keeping in mind the bright future of the children. The main objective of the Right to Education Act is that children from economically weaker families can also get high quality education. Therefore, the entire process of filling the form has been kept online, simple and transparent. Parents can apply by visiting RTE portal from 8th December. The department claims that this time no deserving child will be deprived of the opportunity.
