Delhi LG Formally Classifies 75 CM SHRI Schools as 'Specified Category' Under RTE

The designation confers special status within Delhi's system, clearing a key legal hurdle before admissions begin.

Overview

  • The campuses will function under the Directorate of Education as specialised institutions aligned with NEP 2020 and NCFSE 2023.
  • The model emphasizes competency-based learning with AI-powered personalised hubs, digital integration, experiential pedagogy and flexible assessments to reduce exam stress.
  • Admissions will begin either at the nursery level or from class 6, with class 6 entry based on an aptitude test to identify talented students.
  • The move follows vetting by the Law, Planning and Finance departments and approval by the Delhi Cabinet in May before submission to the Lieutenant Governor.
  • Officials described the status as comparable to Kendriya Vidyalayas or Navodaya Vidyalayas and indicated the first batch could start in the upcoming academic cycle.
