🛑 The “50% Reservation” Rule: Do You Qualify?

Before you spend hours filling the form, check these strict eligibility rules:

Resident Only: You must be a permanent resident of Delhi.
School Proof: Your child must have studied in a recognized Delhi school during the 2025-26 session.
The Govt-School Advantage: 50% of seats are reserved for kids passing out of Delhi Government schools. If your child is in a private school, you’ll be competing for the remaining “Open” seats.

🎯 How to Beat the Entrance Exam (Pattern & Syllabus)

This is where most students get stuck. The exam is OMR-based (filling circles), and the rules change depending on the class:

For Class 6 (The “Safe” Exam)

Total Marks: 300 (Bilingual: Hindi & English)
Negative Marking: NO.
Success Tip: Tell your child to answer every single question. There is no penalty for guessing!

For Class 9 & 11 (The “Competitive” Exam)

Total Marks: 400 (English Medium only)
Negative Marking: YES.
Success Tip: This exam is designed like a professional entrance test. Accuracy is more important than speed. If they aren’t 100% sure, it’s safer to leave the question blank.

💻 Parent’s Tech Guide: Applying Without the Stress

Government websites in Delhi often slow down near the deadline. Follow these “pro-tips” to ensure your form goes through:

Avoid Mobile Phones: The edudel.nic.in portal’s document upload section often glitches on mobile browsers. Use a laptop or a cyber cafe computer.
The “Expand” Rule: When filling names (Father/Mother/Child), do not use initials or abbreviations like “Mr.” or “Dr.” Write the full names exactly as they appear on the Aadhaar Card.
Document Size: Keep your scanned photos and residence proof under 200KB (JPG) to avoid “Upload Failed” errors.
Print the Slip: Once you hit submit, a Registration ID and PIN will be generated. Save this! You’ll need it to download the Admit Card.

💬 Most Searched FAQs

But be warned: The application window is incredibly short. At egovtscheme.com, we’ve analyzed the latest circular so you don’t have to. Here is everything you need to know to get that seat.

Use a Computer: Avoid applying on your phone. The document upload section often fails on mobile browsers.
