DIFFICULTIES FACED IN GETTING ADMISSION IN KENDRIYA VIDYALAYAS

The Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) are established primarily to cater to the educational needs of the wards of transferable Central Government Employees including defence personnel. All the admissions in the Kendriya Vidyalayas are made as per the admission guidelines of the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan. The following priorities are followed for granting admission in class-I:-

(I) KENDRIYA VIDYALAYAS UNDER CIVIL/DEFENCE SECTOR:

5. Children from any other category including the children of foreign nationals who are located in India due to their work or for any personal reasons. The Children of Foreign Nationals would be considered only in case there are no Indian Nationals’ waitlisted for admission.
