Amendment in Admission Guidelines 2013-14-Part-C,
Procedure for Admissions, Para-9 (I), Method of admission in Class XI (KV
Students)
1. KV Students : Admissions in different streams viz.
Science, Commerce, Humanities of Class XI in KVs for KV students who have
passed Class X will be regulated as follows :
Existing and Amended points are...
a. The merit list will be drawn/prepared as per CGPA
obtained by applicant in CBSE/Class X result in every school
No change
b. The Seats will be allotted as per the rank in the
merit list prepared as at (a) above vis-a-vis number of vacancies available
in a particular stream in the Vidyalaya (Class Strength 40) and as per the
option of stream exercised by the student.
The Seats will be allotted as per the rank in the
merit list prepared as at (a) above vis-a-vis number of vacancies available
in a particular stream in the Vidyalaya and as per the option of stream
exercised by the student. However, the Class Strength will be fixed by the
Principal of the kendriya Vidyalaya concerned in following manner
.
The total No. of applications received from students
of the same KVs from neighbouring KVs which are upto Class X or not having
the desired stream. If any, plus no. of students failed and detained, etc. in
class XI (including all streams) would be divided by the number of sections
of class XI available in the KV (including Science, Commerce and Humanities streams)
and the quotient arrived at, will be the maximum strength of each section of
class XI of that KV of each stream.
For example, if 200 applications are received from
some KV and neighbouring KV which is upto Class X and 12 students failed
in class XI (Including all streams in the school) and 4 sections of class XI
(2 Science, 1 Commerce and 1 Humanities) are available, then 200 + 12 = 212 /
4 = 53 / 4 53 would be fixed as maximum strength of each section
of Class XI. However, the maximum strength to be fixed should not be less
than 40.
Thus a combined merit list (including students from
neighbouring school which are upto class X or not having desired streams)
would be prepared. As per the option given by the students and maximum number
per section as fixed (above), admission would be granted in each section
(including detained students) eg: if 53 is the class strength fixed in a
particular stream, 3 students are detained in that stream 53 - 3 = 50
students would be admitted (including students from neighbouring schools
which are upto class X. If any)
c. Concessions wherever applicable shall be
incorporated while preparing the Merit List.
No Change
d. In case of two or more candidates obtaining equal
CGPA, the inter-se merit of such candidates may be determined as follows :
(i) Candidates obtaining higher grade points in Maths
will get precedence in admission.
(ii) If two or more candidates have got the same
grade points in Maths, then the candidates securing higher grades in Maths
and Science taken together will get precedence over the others.
(iii) In case of a tie between two or more candidates
obtaining same grade points in Maths and Science taken together, the student
older age as per the D.O.B will be given precedence over the other.
No Change
e. Principal may admit children to class XI
only up to the permitted class strength.
Principal may admit children to Class XI as per the
maximum strength fixed at the school level as at (b) as amended including
detained students.
f. A student who was earlier not found eligible
for admission to a particular stream may be allowed fresh admission to a
particular Stream in Class XI in the next academic session, if he/she
improves his/her performance within one year for the some Board.
No Change
g. If school is not able accommodate all the students
and students from neighbouring KVs which are only up to class 10th, the class
strength will be increased with the approval of the DC of the concerned
Region.
Deleted
This issues with the approval of Commissioner, KVS.
