Thiruvananthapuram’s Meera scored 98% in SSLC 2026. She wanted Science stream at her preferred school. Her mother had heard horror stories about offline admission queues. But Kerala’s HSCAP system meant Meera applied online in 15 minutes — selected 20 school options — and waited for allotment at home. No queue. No middleman.
