Students who have successfully passed their Class 10 (Matriculation) examination from BSEB, CBSE, ICSE, or any other recognized educational board are eligible to apply for admission. The selection process will be conducted strictly on a merit basis, with allocations determined by the marks obtained in the secondary board examinations.
The board will release merit lists in multiple phases, systematically allocating seats in participating institutions based on students' academic performance and their indicated preferences for schools and colleges.
