Registration for admission to Indian schools in Oman to start tomorrow

Muscat: The online registration for admissions to classes from KG I to Class IX in Indian Schools in the capital area for the academic year 2019-2020 will start from January 15, the Board of Directors, Indian Schools in Oman, said on Sunday.
Every year, the Board receives more than 4,000 new applications for admissions to Indian Schools in the capital area for classes KG I to IX.
With around 2,500 seats available every year, providing admissions to all the applicants is very challenging for the board. “But we managed to provide admissions to all the candidates last year,” the official said.
In a circular, the Board of Directors, Indian Schools in Oman, said: “Indian nationals currently residing in Oman and seeking admission for the academic year 2019-2020 for their children are eligible to register online.”
“The printout of the completed application form along with copies of the child’s passport and a stamped visa page and parent’s /guardian’s resident card should be submitted to any of the seven Indian Schools in the capital area (Indian School Muscat, Indian School Darsait, Indian School Al Wadi Al Kabir, Indian School Al Ghubra, Indian School Al Seeb, Indian School Al Maabela and Indian School at Bausher) for processing of the admission. A non-refundable processing fee of OMR15 will be payable with each application,” the Board said.
Schools will start accepting forms from January 20, 2019. “The online registration and acceptance of the application forms in schools will be closed at 2pm on February 17, 2019,” the Board said.

As of today, the total number of students in all Indian schools stands at a staggering 46,000 with a sizeable number in six schools of the capital. It has also been observed from the trend that the demand for seats is more in lower classes from KG I to Standard II.
