K.V. school Admissions..! No Special Quota..!
The central government has issued an order canceling the special quota for MPs for admission of Kendriya Vidyalaya students. The central government has issued an order canceling the special allotment for MPs for admission of Kendriya Vidyalaya students. Previously, in K.V. schools, the special quota for MPs has been suspended and is now completely canceled.
Kendriya Vidyalaya school is run for the children of Central and State government employees across the country. There are a total of 1,245 schools across the country and 3 Kendriya Vidyalaya schools abroad. Around 59 KV schools are there in tamil Nadu. The language of instruction in these schools is english and Hindi.
The Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS), which manages Kendriya Vidyalaya schools, introduced a special scheme in 1975 to allow a specific quota for admission to each member of the lok sabha and the State Legislature. According to this allocation, an mp Specific student may be recommended for admission, but these recommendations apply to grades 1 through 9. It is also recommended for children of parents who belong to the group of members. This allocation was discontinued on at least two occasions and subject to several changes.
Previously, there was a rule that an mp could nominate two students for admission in one academic year. It increased to five in 2011, six in 2012, and 10 in 2016. In that category, each of the MPs was currently in a position to nominate students for 10 seats. At present, there are 788 members in the lok sabha with 543 MPs and 245 MPs in the state assembly, so the enrollment for 7,880 has been confirmed.

MPs in this context were said to be confused by the nomination list. As MPs receive numerous requests over the years, they say the additions have often exceeded the quota, making it difficult to reject many of them. For example, in 2018-19, the number of students admitted was 8,164 against 7,880 and 9,402 against the 450 seats of the Union minister of Education. The argument arose that excessive student enrollment distorts the student-teacher ratio in these schools. The allocation was put on hold as members of parliament debated the issue. In this case, the special provision has now been canceled altogether.
