STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) TO (c) OF THE LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 159 RAISED BY SHRI RAMPRIT MANDAL, HON’BLE MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT ANSWERED ON 10.03.2025 REGARDING “RESUMPTION OF MP QUOTA FOR ADMISSION IN KVs”.

(a) to (c) Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) are opened primarily to cater to the educational needs of the wards of transferable Central Government Employees including Defence & Para-Military personnel, Central Autonomous Bodies, Central Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) and Central Institute of Higher Learning (IHL) by providing a common programme of education throughout the country.

Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan has withdrawn some of the special provisions {including quota for Hon’ble Members of Parliament (MP)} which were beyond the sanctioned class strength and impacting the learning of the students. These quotas were over and above the sanctioned class strength and hence were done away with in order to bring in qualitative changes to the system by maintaining a healthy Pupil Teacher Ratio (PTR) and to achieve desired learning outcomes in alignment with the vision of National Education Policy, 2020.

At present, there is no proposal under consideration of the Government to re-introduce the Hon’ble MP quota for admission in KVs.

Subject: Clarifications on KVS Admission Guidelines 2024-25 – reg.

Madam/Sir,

In continuation to this office letter even number dated 28.03.2024 regarding KVS Admission Guidelines 2024 and various issues raised by the Deputy Commissioners of different Regions during VC held on 30.03.2024, following points are to be noted to ensure effective implementation of the guidelines:

1. 09 seats (27%), as per the reservation norms for OBC candidates, will be taken within the approved class strength of 32, in place of 08 (OBC) seats, as mentioned in PART-C, Para 4 of KVS Admission Guidelines 2024-25.

2. The given example to clarify the interchangeability of reservation quota for SC/ST candidates, as per Para VI(b) of PART-C, may be read as:

“… e.g. in a single section KV total SC and ST seats are 7(5 SC + 2 ST). Now suppose 6 SC and 1 ST are already admitted and there are no more ST candidates available to admit, in this case this 1seat of ST will not be given to SC, as 7 SC/ST candidates have already been admitted.” Section and reservation category wise number of seats are given in the below mentioned table:

3. Table given at PART-A, Para 5 of KVS Admission Guidelines is applicable to Part A Para 7(i) also.

4. 1st Provisional List for declaration of selected and waitlisted candidates is 22.04.2024 (Monday) in place of 19.04.2024, due to the schedule of Polling Day of First phase of Lok Sabha Election.

Further, as decided during the VC it is requested to submit the KV wise data of the students to be admitted in class XI 2024-25 as per new Admission Guidelines 2024-25, in the format (Excel Sheet only), as mentioned in Annexure-I latest by 15.04.2024 at dcacad02kvshq[at]gmail.com

This issues with the approval of competent authority.
