Talking about the Delhi Sports School admission, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said, “Delhi Sports School will accept students from all over the country. Through this unique sports school, our government aims to identify exemplary sports talent from all over India and nurture them. We will train students to become international sports champions and Olympians in future.”

Talents will be scouted from various states. According to officials, candidates will first have to register themselves on the school’s online portal, after which a pre-screened list of students will be prepared based on ‘merit’. These students will be called for talent scouting camps in their states where they will have to undergo tests for motor ability, speed, endurance and agility along with tests for their chosen sports.

The next step in the admission process will be selection trials in Delhi, which will be followed by medical examinations of the shortlisted candidates.

Candidates for admission in classes VIII and IX will have to select their primary sport based on their professional performance records. However, candidates for classes VI and VII who have not performed professionally but have ‘potential’ can opt for any of the remaining sports.
