General
Admission in Army Public Schools tochildren of serving Army personnel coming on transfer from out station can be made anytime during the year and they will not be denied admission, subject, however to the stipulation laid down by the CBSE in Classes IX-XII. Admission of civilian children will not be at the cost of Army children, the latter will never be refused admission. Strength of civilian children will not exceed 10% (inclusive of NRI children) of the overall strength in a class after admitting all Army children and also catering for their mid-session admissions. Civilian children can be admitted only if infrastructure permits and their admission does not adversely affect teacher to pupil ratio, subject to the conditions as elaborated at Article 196, only after ensuring 100% admission of Army children with a few reserved seats for them for mid-session admissions.
The above priorities of admission shall be suitably moderated to bring parity with the priorities of admission offered to wards of Army personnel by other services/organizations in their schools in the same station/location.
If due to acute shortage of classrooms there is difficulty in adjusting all children of serving Army personnel, SAMC may further prioritize children at Article 192 (a) as follows:-
a. Transfer cases from Army Public School and private recognized schools
b. KV Transfer Cases.
c. Transfer cases from local schools within the city
d. All other cases
In stations where there are two or more schools, a comprehensive policy will be drawn by respective BoA so that load is evenly distributed. It should be based on proximity of the school from residence and availability of seats.
Notes:-
1. Children under Article 2 (f), (g) and (h) will be considered Civil Children for the purpose of admission.
2. Children of civilian staff employed in the school will not be counted as civilians for this purpose
Percentages of Civilian Children
The strength of civilian children will normally be at the ceiling of 10% subject to availability of seats. Exceptions can be made under the following circumstances:-
1. Classes IX to XII.. In case seats are under-utilized, the percentage of civilian children can be increased up to 15% with the approval of BOA. Any increase of civilian children beyond 15% would require the approval of Chairman, Executive Committee AWES. This increase can be reviewed and withdrawn at a later stage, if situation so warrants.
2. Other Classes.
I. There will be no increase in percentage of civilian children.
II. In stations where adequate number of Army children are not available and it primary classes to ensure optimum utilization of school capacity, the overall strength of civil children may be increased to 15% with the prior approval of BoA. Any increase of civilian children beyond 15% would require the approval of Chairman, Executive Committee. This increase can be reviewed and withdrawn at a later stage if situation so warrants.
Any increase of civilian children beyond 15% would require the approval of Chairman, Executive Committee. This increase can be reviewed and withdrawn at a later stage if situation so warrants.
Note. Admission to wards of serving Army personnel based on transfer certificate from one Army Public School to another will be ensured (on transfer of parents from a station where there is no Arrny Public School admission will be accorded priority at par with those seeking admission on TC from Army Public Schools). Admission in another APS on transfer certificate for children of other categories is not a matter of right. The same must be explained to such categories at the time of admission and also endorsed on the TC.
Children of Foreign Nationals/NRIs in Army Public Schools.
Foreign/NRI children are allowed to be admitted in all Army Public Schools. It will, however be ensured by the School that all formalities like checking of Visa, Passport and guarantee of character and conduct by two respectable Indian citizens etc. are completed before granting admission to such children and the sanction of the Chairman is taken in each case. Clarification, if required, may be obtained from HQ AWES.
Admission Procedures and Evaluation Test up to Class X
Admission. All children of serving/retired Army personnel coming on Pass/promoted TC from another Army Public School any time during the academic year will be admitted based on Transfer Certificate (TC) from previous school, without an admission test.
Evaluation Test. An evaluation test may be held to assess the academic standard of the applicant only if the candidate is arriving from a school other than an APS. If the applicant is not of suitable standard, the parents may be advised accordingly.
Subjects for Evaluation Test. The evaluation test (when held for admission of TC Cases other than from another APS) will cover the following subjects:-

Admission with/Without Transfer Certificate
Direct admission i.e. admission without a transfer certificate shall be made only up to Class VI in the case of wards of Army personnel. If a pupil, who has not previously attended any recognised school, applies for admission to any one of the Classes II to VI, his/her parent or guardian shall be required to give full history of his/her previous education and submit an affidavit to the effect that his/her ward has not attended any recognised school till then. He/she shall also be required to submit an affidavit regarding the exact date of birth of his/her ward. If a seat is available in the class to which admission is sought, the head of the school shall arrange a special test to determine the suitability of the pupil for admission to the class. Admission shall be granted if the pupil passes in the special test.
Miscellaneous
Admission to Class XI. Students passing Class X board exams from the same schools are automatically on the strength of Class XI. They shall be allotted streams as per their choice and the table given below. The minimum percentages/grades for allocation of different streams in Class XI are given below. Meeting the eligibility criteria on account of minimum percentages does not, however, guarantee admission. Admission will depend on relative merit and availability of seats. No special weightage will be given for any stream to any student. Any variations to this may be carried out with the approval of Chairman BoA.
