‘Against 125 seats available, we received 3,500 applications in the general category and 3,200 in EWS category’, she added. In many schools submission of forms will go on till midnight, through the online process.

The schools have to display the first list of selected candidates, including Economic Weaker Section (EWS) and Disadvantaged Group category on 28 February.
