The Sainik School Society (SSS) is developing an automated system for offering online counselling to students seeking admission to 100 new Sainik Schools, the defence ministry said on Sunday.
The automated system for e-counselling will ensure complete transparency in the admission process.
“Marching ahead with the government's aim of setting up 100 new Sainik Schools throughout the country, the Sainik School Society (SSS) is in the process of developing an automated system for the conduct of e-counselling," the ministry said in a statement.
E-counselling will be less expensive and user-friendly for all stakeholders —schools and students.
“It will be applicable to the new schools being set up as part of the government’s vision to provide an opportunity to students throughout the country to move in tune with National Education Policy along with following the Sainik School curriculum,” the ministry said.
The ministry said the students will be asked to register through a link provided on the portal "http://www.sainikschool. ncog.gov.in"www.sainikschool.ncog.gov.in and verify their details.
“Students will have the option of selecting up to 10 schools as the choice of allocation. Subsequently, the allocation of schools to students will be carried out by the system based on their rank and choice of schools and the results will be declared through the e-counselling portal,” the ministry said.
