The government has scrapped the provision of admission of students in Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) under the Member of Parliament (MP) quota and has introduced free admission for children orphaned by Covid-19 under PM CARES for Children Scheme.
“The admission will be done on the basis of list given by District Magistrate of the concerned District subject to 10 children per KV and maximum two children per class. These children will be exempted from payment of fees (Tuition fee, Computer fund, and VVN) from Classes I to XII,” the guideline stated.
The BJP MP Sushil Modi praised and welcomed the decision to put the quota admissions on hold. He tweeted that it is expected to open up around 30,000 seats across KVs in India. Last year the Central government scrapped the Union education minister’s discretionary quota for admissions from 2021-22 academic session. However, it was decided that the MPs of both houses will continue to recommend admissions into KVs in each academic session.
