Hello there,

Yes, as a civilian, you can apply for admission to an Army Public School (APS) for your son, but there are certain conditions and procedures to be aware of.

Civilian Admission in APS

• Availability : APSs reserve a certain percentage of seats for civilian children. For instance, APS Birpur admits civilian children, and APS Khadakwasla allows civilian admissions subject to availability and other criteria.
  
  

• Admission Process : Civilian admissions are typically based on merit and availability of seats after accommodating all Army personnel's wards. Some schools may conduct an evaluation test to assess the suitability of civilian candidates.
  
  

• Priority : Children of Army personnel are given priority in admissions. Civilian applicants are considered only if seats remain after all Army wards have been admitted.
  
  Steps to Apply

1. Visit the APS Website : Identify the APS nearest to your location and visit their official website for specific admission details.
   
   

2. Contact the School : Reach out to the school's administration to inquire about the availability of seats for civilian children and the admission process.
   
   

3. Prepare Documents : Gather necessary documents such as your son's birth certificate, previous school records, and any other documents specified by the school.
   
   

4. Submit Application : Fill out the admission form and submit it along with the required documents within the stipulated deadline.
   
   

5. Follow Up : Stay in touch with the school for updates on the admission status and any further steps required.
