If you indicate Yes here, the original document of proof of disability must be produced at the time of admission, if a Vidyalaya offers provisional admission to the child. Such a proof includes a certificate from the civil surgeon / rehabilitation centre or any other competent authority defined by the Government of India O.M. No. 36035/5/88/Estt.(sct) dated 4.5.1999 certifying the child to be handicapped, wherever applicable.

Thus, the allowed range of date of birth of a child seeking admission to Std 1 in 2020-2021 is: 1 April, 2013 to 1 April, 2015 for applications not in the "Differently Abled" category. The allowed range of date of
birth of a child seeking admission in the "Differently Abled" category is 1 April, 2011 to 1 April, 2015.

Note: If the child seeking admission is applying as child / grandchild of a KVS employee, then points ix, x, xi, xii, xiii below are not relevant, and you may skip to point xiv of this subsection.
Whether applying in Single Girl Child category: This field is enabled as a mandatory field only if the gender of the child seeking admission is Female. Otherwise this field does not appear in the form.
Please check KVS admission rules (see here) carefully to determine if the child seeking admission qualifies for admission in Single Girl Child (SGC) category. If the child qualifies and if you wish the child to be considered for admission in SGC category, please select "Yes". Otherwise, select "No". If you choose "Yes", and if provisional admission is offered to the child by a Vidyalaya in SGC category, you must submit an affidavit certifying that the child is a single girl child at the time of admission. A proforma for this affidavit can be obtained by clicking on the "Pro forma document samples" link at the top of the online admission portal.
Failure to submit the affidavit at the time of admission may result in cancelation of provisional admission offered in SGC category. Is a twin/triplet... girl sibling also applying for admission: This field is enabled as a mandatory field only if you have chosen to apply in Single Girl Child category. Otherwise this field does not appear in the form. If this field is enabled, select Yes or No as appropriate. As per KVS admission rules, admission to Std 1 in Single Girl Child (SGC) category is restricted to a maximum of two admissions per section of Std 1 in each Vidyalaya per year.
However, twin/triplet/... girls who have no additional siblings (other than the twins/triplets/…) can apply for admission to a Vidyalaya in SGC category, and their applications will be considered together as a single application for purposes of admission in SGC category. For each such twin/triplet/… girl child, you are required to register (sing up) separately, and also fill up and submit the admission application form for each child separately. However, in order for the applications of twin/triplet/… girl siblings to be
considered as a single application for purposes of admission in SGC category, their applications must be linked using a Linking Code. Please see point (xi) below for details on how to use a Linking Code
Linking of a girl child’s application with twin/triplet/... sisters’ application(s) for admission in Single Girl Child (SGC) category: This instruction item is relevant only if you are applying for a girl child in SGC category and if twin/triplet/... sister(s) of the child are also applying to the same Vidyalaya in SGC category.
In such cases, individual applications of the twin/triplet/… sisters must be linked in order for them to be treated as a single application for purposes of admission in SGC Category. For all other purposes, the applications of twin/triplet/... sisters will be considered as independent applications for admission, and will be treated separately. To link individual applications of twin/triplet/… sisters applying in SGC category, a Linking Code must be generated for the application of any one sister, and the same Linking Code must be entered in the applications of all twin/triplet/… sisters before submitting the respective applications.
If you are filling the application for the first twin/triplet sister and do not yet have a Linking Code, click on the button Generate Linking Code. This will generate a linking code, display it in a pop-up message box and also automatically fill it in the field labeled Enter Linking Code.
Please copy the generated linking code and save it carefully. You will need it when filling the application forms of twin/triplet sister(s) in order to link their applications for admission in SGC category. The Generate Linking Code button can be pressed only once for an application. The button is disabled after you generate a Linking Code.
If a Linking Code has already been generated in the application form for one of the twin/triplet/... sisters, then do not generate a Linking Code again for the applications of the other twin/triplet/… sisters. Instead, enter the same Linking Code generated for the first twin/triplet/... sister in the field labeled Enter Linking Code in the applications of the other twin/triplet/… sisters.

In this tab, upto three (3) choices of Kendriya Vidyalayas, without any preference between them, can be given. Thus, you can apply to upto three different Kendriya Vidyalayas using the same online application form. Each choice of Vidyalaya will be considered separately, independently and at par, without any notion of preference among your choice of Vidyalayas. In other words, it does not matter which Vidyalaya you indicate as "Vidyalaya 1", "Vidyalaya 2" or "Vidyalaya 3" -- your application for each one of them will be considered separately and independently of each other. If you wish to apply to less than three Vidyalayas, you can skip
one or more tabs for choice of Vidyalayas. However, at least one choice of Vidyalaya must be given. Vidyalaya-specific application details must be entered separately for each Vidyalaya. The basic information and parent details entered in the previous two sections/tabs will be shared with all Vidyalayas to which admission is being sought. Please choose a tab labeled "Select Vidyalaya 1" / "Select Vidyalaya 2" / "Select Vidyalaya 3" to enter Vidyalaya-specific details. Each of the Vidyalayas chosen in one application form will consider the admission application of the child independently. Thus, application to multiple Vidyalayas or the order in which the Vidyalayas are chosen in the application form DOES NOT affect the chances of
admission to any of the Vidyalayas applied to.
Choose State in which Vidyalaya is located: Select appropriate field. This is a mandatory
field. Select Vidyalaya: Select a Kendriya Vidyalaya in the chosen state. This is a mandatory field.
Vidyalaya Category: Once the Vidyalaya is chosen, the Vidyalaya category will automatically be displayed. There are four categories of Kendriya Vidyalayas. These are Kendriya Vidyalayas under Civil SECTOR
Kendriya Vidyalayas under Defence SECTOR
Kendriya Vidyalayas under Project SECTOR
Kendriya Vidyalayas under IHL( Institute of Higher Learning) SECTOR
Each Vidyalaya falls under exactly one category.

automatically displayed. Sponsoring Agency: Once the Vidyalaya is chosen, the sponsoring agency of the school (if information about this is available) will also be automatically displayed. Location Type: Once the Vidyalaya is chosen, the location type of the Vidyalaya will also be automatically displayed.
Vidyalaya Location Map: Once the Vidyalaya is chosen, the Vidyalaya location can be seen on a static map by clicking this link. Note that this will open a new tab in your browser, where a map indicating the school will be displayed. Distance of Vidyalaya from residence: This will appear as a mandatory field in the form only for those who are applying in one of the following categories: Differently Abled, SC, ST, OBC
(Non-creamy layer), Economically Weaker Section (EWS), Below Poverty Line (BPL). For all others, this field will not appear in the form. A child applying in one of the above categories will be automatically considered for admission in RTE category in a Vidyalaya she/he has applied to, if the child’s residence is within a specified distance from the Vidyalaya, as per KVS admission guidelines (see here).
Since Kendriya Vidyalayas are located at places with varied density of population, they have been categorised as follows for determining the limits of neighbourhood, for purposes of determining eligibility for admission in RTE category: Major cities and urban areas (all district Headquarters & metros): 5 km radius from Vidyalaya Places and areas other than included in above: 8 km radius from Vidyalaya Therefore, a child is eligible for admission to a Vidyalaya in RTE category only if the child applies in one of the categories mentioned above and the child’s residence is no farther than 5km from the Vidyalaya in major cities and urban areas, and no farther than 8km from the Vidyalaya in all other areas.
Depending on the region (urban/rural) of the Vidyalaya (see point vi above), the following options will be displayed for filling in this field: For a Vidyalaya in an urban region, there options are
Less than or equal to 5 km More than 5 km
For Vidyalaya in a rural region, the options are Less than or equal to 8 km More than 8 km Choose the correct option for the radial distance of the chosen Vidyalaya from the child’s residence. Note: This field must be separately filled for each Vidyalaya the child is applying to. Moreover, a distance declaration affirming that the radial distance of the Vidyalaya from the child’s residence, as indicated in this field, is indeed correct, must be provided by the applicant in the Declaration and Submit tab/section of the application form. If a child is offered provisional admission by a Vidyalaya in RTE category, proof of residence will have to be produced at the time of admission. However, admission cannot be denied due to non-submission of valid proof of residence.
Do you need help in filling service priority category?: This feature is provided to help you decide the best service priority category for purposes of admission in the Vidyalaya. If you select Yes, you MUST read and understand the following disclaimer. DISCLAIMER: Though all effort and care have been taken to ensure the accuracy of categories in this feature of the application form, the same should not be construed as a statement of law or used for any legal purposes. Users are advised to verify/check the categories from the head of their office(s) and obtain appropriate professional advice before acting on the information provided/suggested on the online admission portal. You are strongly advised to carefully go through various service priority categories given below (in point no. xii) and choose the highest priority category
under which the admission application can be made to each of the Vidyalayas you are applying
to.
Note that the service priority category for the same child can be different for father/mother/grandparent (grandparent applicable only for Service Category 1 in IHL and Project sector schools) in different Vidyalayas. You are advised to determine the highest service priority category applicable for each Vidyalaya independently, and indicate this in the tab corresponding to the choice of this Vidyalaya in the online application form. Example: Suppose a child’s grandparent is a Category 1 employee (as per KVS guidelines, see below) in an institution of higher learning like an IIT. Suppose further that the child’s mother is a
Category 1 employee (as per KVS guidelines, see below) in the armed forces, and the child’s father is a Category 1 employee (as per KVS guidelines, see below) in a public sector project like ONGC. Suppose the child is applying for admission to Kendriya Vidyalayas in three different categories -- School 1 is in the Defence sector, School 2 is in the institution of higher learning where her grandparent works, and School 3 is in the project sector (say ONGC).
In this case, the child’s chances of admission are maximized if she applies under Category 1 for her mother in School 1, under Category 1 for her grandparent in School 2, and under Category 1 for her father in School 3. If you chose Yes for seeking help in choosing service priority category of parents/grandparents, please go through points x and xi below. If you chose No, points x and xi may be skipped (these will also not show up in your online form).
Select Organisation: Please select the organisation of which the parent/grandparent (as applicable) of the child is/was an employee, and whose service priority category is to be considered for purposes of admission. The list of organizations is based on information provided by the Vidyalaya you are applying to, and may not be complete. If the organisation of which the parent/grandparent (as applicable) is/was an employee is not present in the dropdown list, then no further help can be provided to you from the portal in selecting the service priority category for this Vidyalaya. In this case, you must directly go to point xii and fill
in the appropriate service priority category directly, after consulting KVS guidelines and after seeking proper advice from KVS.
Select employment status: If you selected an organization of which the parent/grandparent (as applicable) of the child is/was an employee, please select the employment status of parent/grandparent whose service priority category is to be considered for purposes of admission. If the desired employment status of the parent/grandparent (as applicable) is not present in the dropdown list, then no further help can be provided to you from the portal in selecting the service priority category for this Vidyalaya. In this case, you must directly go to point xii and fill in the appropriate service priority category directly, after consulting
KVS guidelines and after seeking proper advice from KVS. After choosing the organisation and employment status of a parent/grandparent whose service priority category is to be considered purposes of admission, the service priority category/subcategory will be automatically filled in for point no. xii below. However, the automatically selected service priority category is only meant as a suggestion with best intent based on the organization and employment status information for the parent/grandparent (as applicable) supplied by you. It must not be construed as a statement of law or used for any legal purpose. You are required to ensure the
correctness of the service priority category in point no. xii by checking with appropriate KVS authorities.
If you think that the automatically selected service priority category/sub-category is not correct or otherwise, you must choose the correct service category / subcategory independently as per KVS guidelines and enter it directly in point no. xii below. An automatically selected service priority category can be over-ridden and changed at any time. Note: The information provided by you in points x and xi above are only meant to suggest the correct service priority category to you, and will not be presented to the Vidyalayas you are applying to. Service Priority Category: If the service priority category is not chosen automatically after
filling in information for points x and xi above, or if you think that the automatically chosen
service priority category is incorrect, you must choose the correct service priority category
yourself as per KVS admission guidelines given below. Service priority categories will be strictly followed when providing admission in any Vidyalaya.
