Overview:
School admission is the process through which students are enrolled in a school. It typically involves submitting an application form, providing necessary documents such as birth certificate, previous academic records, and proof of residence. Some schools may also conduct interviews or entrance tests to assess the student's eligibility.
ZAPR Edu supports parents and candidates throughout the school admission process, making it easier to find and secure a place in the right school. The admission process ensures that students are placed in the appropriate grade level and helps schools maintain proper records and plan resources effectively. Admissions usually take place before the start of a new academic year, and ZAPR Edu assists in every step—from application to enrollment.

Eligibility for Admission:
The eligibility criteria for admission to Class 10 via an open board or National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) in India.
Note: Exact requirements may vary by state board or open board—always check the prospectus of the relevant board.
Common eligibility criteria for Class 10 (open schooling) are as follows:
- The learner should be at least 14 years old (as on a particular cutoff date) for Class 10.
- The learner should have passed or obtained the School Leaving / Transfer Certificate from Class 8 or Class 9 from a recognised school, OR must have studied the equivalent of the qualifying standard.
- There is generally no upper age limit for many open‑school boards (so older learners can re‑admit).
- For some state open schools, in addition to age and previous class, other documents are required: birth certificate, transfer certificate, address proof, identity proof etc.
