‘It will be a convenient option for parents’
With increasing demand for admissions to Kendriya Vidyalaya schools, the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) has decided take the admission process online across the country from 2017-18.
Santosh Kumar Mall, Commissioner, KVS, who was in the city recently, said for the coming academic year, a pilot was conducted in Delhi where they called for online applications. He said that they had received 1.16 lakh applications for 8,760 seats.
Mr. Mall said the online application system will be a “convenient option” for parents as it would avoid long queues in front of schools. “It will also ensure transparency and eliminate the scope for manipulation in registration,” he said.
In Bengaluru region — which consists of 50 KV schools in Karnataka and Goa — the number of applications registered for the 2016-17 academic year was 29,117 for 5,000 seats, which is six times the demand. In some instances, the demand was nearly 22 times the number of seats. The highest number of applications was received in Malleswaram, with 2,657 forms for 120 seats.
Owing to the high demand, many KV principals in the city said that the general public are unable to get admissions to KV. “The only way they can get a seat is under the RTE quota, if they are eligible, or under the Member of Parliament quota and girl child quota. This is because we have to give preference to other categories such as Central government employees, Central government autonomous bodies, and State government employees,” a principal said.
In many schools, the State government employees themselves are unable to obtain a seat because of the demand, she said.

First of all Kendriya Vidyalaya is meant for Central Government Employees, Undertakings etc. coming under Central Government. But nowadays, the RTE itself has swallowed 10 seats from a class in a school and if there is four classes, forty seats will go to RTE. In this connection, it is also informed that the RTE admission, education is free for all from Ist class. But it is sad to comment that all who are well-off are taking/getting admissions in the RTE Quota and the VVD of the School is being spent for these children itself. This makes the budget of the school topple down. The KV school now faces scarcity of funds for the school. This RTE also makes the Central Government Employees face much difficulties in getting an admission in the KV School. For example, there were five thousand applications in one of the KV school at Trivandrum and one Central Government employee who is in Category I did not get admission in that school even when he is working in defence sector of our country. RTE Children even bring laddus to school when a new car is brought to their home. I just mentioned this since I want to inform all that most of the RTE admissions are well off. Hence, the Central Government should either increase the seats in various KVs all over the country OR ELSE more KENDRIYA VIDYALAYA SCHOOLS SHOULD BE ALLOTTED TO METRO CITIES LIKE KOCHI, TRIVANDRUM, TRICHUR, AND CALICUT. Most officials in Kochi city has complained to the Chairman, Central Government Employees welfare Co-ordination Committee, Kochi in a meeting held in Kochi recently.
