Sainik Schools to introduce e-counselling for students

The newly announced system of the e-counselling system will be first introduced in the new schools that are being set up. In order to understand the process, verify all details and register, interested students can visit the official website, i.e. sainikschool.ncog.gov.in.

An automated system to conduct e-counselling will soon be introduced in the Sainik School Society (SSS), the Ministry of Defence said. The decision has been taken to ensure transparency in the admission process. The newly announced system of the e-counselling system will be first introduced in the new schools that are being set up. In order to understand the process, verify all details and register, interested students can visit the official website, i.e. sainikschool.ncog.gov.in.

Announcing the e-counselling initiative, the ministry said, “It will be applicable to the new schools being set up as part of the Government’s vision to provide an opportunity for students throughout the country to move in tune with National Education Policy along with following the Sainik School curriculum.”

Once the process will be up and running, students will be informed by the Sainik Schools Society to apply for e-counselling, and will also release the deadlines through different platforms.

After the completion of the registration process, students scoring more than the qualifying marks will be sent an individual link through the registered phone number or email address. “At the same time, new Sainik Schools will be provided with suitable access rights to provide category and gender-wise information as well as a number of vacancies,” the release read.

Students will be allowed to choose 10 schools as their choice of allocation. They will be allocated a school according to the system based on their rank and choice of the schools. Students will be able to check the final result at the e-counselling portal. Students can either accept the allocated choice of school or indicate to authorities their alternate choice for round two of counselling. Candidates who want to pull out of the admission process should let the authorities know at this point itself.

Detailed such as date, time and place for physical verification would be shared with the selected students. However, students who would not be able to make it to the first list will be considered for round two of counselling, only if seats remain vacant.
