    How To Get Admission Into Army School

    8

    Army Public School (APS) is a system of public schools established for imparting education to the children of the Indian armed forces personnel. With over 130 schools throughout the country, it is one of the largest chain of schools in India that is controlled by the AWES (Army Welfare Education Society, established in 1983, and over the years has established 130 Army Public Schools and 239 Army Pre Primary Schools across India, and several institutions of higher education.

    The schools are generally managed by the army regional commands following the CBSE 2 pattern of education. Admission is granted on a priority basis to wards of Army personnel. All Army Schools have a chairman who is a senior Indian Army officer of Brigadier rank and a patron who is of Major General rank. The Army Public School, Dhaula Kuan, New Delhi is the flagship school among all the APSs in the country. The Army Public School, Pune has been awarded with the highest academic excellence among all the Army Public Schools in the country.

    How to get Admission into Army School

     

    The admissions are made based on the seats available in the classes, they carry a “No denial Policy” to army wards, and civilians are admitted only after ensuring that no further seat is required for any Army ward. For specific details on admission you can visit the official website of the desired APS, however here is a general overview on admissions in the APS:
    Following category of children are admitted based on Transfer Certificate (TC) from previous school.
    • Children who come on Pass/promoted TC from another APS/Army School can be admitted throughout the year
    • Children who have studied for 10 academic months in another APS/Army School, KV and are seeking admission after 31 Jul.
    • An evaluation test may be taken in respect of these children to facilitate further academic coaching and allocation of sections. However such an evaluation test is not treated as admission test and child entitled lateral admission will be allowed to attend classes within 48 hours of reporting to the school.
    • No Admission test is conducted for the students who are coming from Army Schools/Army Public Schools.
    • Tests are considered for the students coming to class X or XII irrespective of the school.

    Admission Test

    All other categories of children including Army children not covered under lateral admission category may be admitted after an admission test. The Principal will arrange admission tests in the subjects as specified in Article 202 and decide whether the student can be admitted and if so, to which class. On this point, his/her decision shall be final. The standard of the admission test will be of the level of the annual examination of the class preceding to which admission is sought. However, in no case any child of a serving Army personnel or widow will be denied admission. The child will be accepted in a suitable class at the discretion of the Principal.

    Admission without Transfer Certificate

    Direct admission i.e. admission without a transfer certificate are mostly made only up to class VI. If a pupil, who has not previously attended any recognized school, applies for admission to anyone of the Classes II to VI, his parent or guardian shall be required to give full history of his previous education and submit an affidavit to the effect that his ward has not attended any recognized school till then. He/she shall also be required to submit an affidavit regarding the exact date of birth of his ward. If a seat is available in the class to which admission is sought, the head of the school shall arrange a special test to determine the suitability of the pupil for admission to the class. Admission shall be granted if the pupil passes in the special test. If the parent or guardian’s statement under this clause is found to contain any willful misrepresentation of date of birth or other facts regarding the pupil’s educational career, the head of the school shall cancel the admission and report the matter to the Education authorities of the district for circulation of the information to other schools. The name of the pupil will be struck off the roll of the school.
    A pupil coming from a recognized school or a Kendriya Vidyalaya or Army School, shall not be admitted to a class higher than the one in which he/she was studying at his former school except in the case of those who have successfully passed the annual examination and have been promoted to a higher class.

    Tips for CDS 2014 Written Exam

    1
    Tips for CDS 2014 Written Exam

    The UPSC has declared the dates for CDS 2014 exams and forms for the same are available on its website. The CDS or combined defense service exam is conducted by UPSC twice in a year to select candidate for service selection board’s interview for commissioned officers in army, navy and Indian air force.

    For those aspiring to get into the Indian military academy, Dehradun or naval/airforce academy for permanent commission in the armed forces, they are expected to score the minimum cut off marks set by the UPSC in all the three papers of CDS examination. These three papers are English, general knowledge & elementary mathematics. The maximum marks for all these three papers together is 300.

    For those who are aspiring to join armed forces for short service commission, they are exempted from appearing in the elementary mathematics paper of cds examination.

    Tips for CDS 2014 Written Exam

    Out of the total candidate (which is appox. 1 lakh)who appear for the cds examination, the upsc recommend a total of around 10000 candidate for ssb-interview for all the three services. Those candidates who have not studied mathematics at either 12th/isc level or in their graduation are only eligible for army(pc) and army(ssc). 
    Age limit for permanent commission is 23 years while that for short service commission is 27 years. Apart from this those candidates who are possessing N.C.C c-certificate are exempted from the written examination. They are directly called for ssb-interview. There is a separate vacancies for such ncc candidates in army airforce and naval training academies.
    A very good thing about the cds examination is that rarely a candidate gets merit out after being recommended by the ssb board. Thus once you qualify CDS and then the ssb & if every thing goes well in the medical tests, you may find yourself in the training academy very soon. 

    Pattern of CDS Examination Papers

    English
    The paper is very easy especially for those who are from c.b.s.e/icse school educated as it contains basic English grammar/vocabulary. For those who have problem with English the best way to prepare for this paper is by reading some good books for English grammar and vocabulary.
    I would recommend the following books for preparation:
    1. Wren and Martin’s English grammar by S.Chand publication
    2. Word power
    Apart from that I would highly recommend the aspirants to read Indian express newspaper as its good for beginners. Reading hindu newspaper might prove dull and boring experience for those who are not habitual of reading English newspapers.
    Questions in the English paper are mostly based on
    1)      Sentence Correction
    2)      Verb Uses
    3)      Jumble Words
    4)      Synonyms
    5)      Antonyms
    6)      Word-Meaning
    7)      Vowels Uses
    So if you feel that you are not familiar of one or the other issues mentioned above, then start preparing from now onwards. Cutoff for English is high because questions are really very easy to solve. The more you score in English the better will be your over all score and hence confirms your selection as well.
    Mathematics 
    They ask basic elementary questions in mathematics. The books that I would recommend could be:
    1. NCERT Class 7-10
    2. R.S Agrawal’s mathematics for competitive examinations.
    3. Any mathematics book for ssc/cds can be referred. 
    In this paper most of the questions are from:
    1. Number system- this includes squaring, cubing,root,lcm,hcf,bodmas
    2. Trigonometry system- this includes sin/cos/tan/cot based derivations as well as values.
    3. Geometry- this includes questions based on angles and their theorems/derivations.
    4. Similar figures- this includes concurrent triangle and derivations based on it. 
    A mere 35-40% correct attempt can led to selection. But the aspirants are advised to attempt questions correctly and as many as they can.
    General studies 
    The previous few papers shows that the level of questions in g.k for cds is rising day by day. Now they don’t just ask general basic g.k but also current affairs.
    The aspirants are advised to read the following materials:
    1. Lucent’s GK
    2. Lucents’ general science
    3. Daily newspapers
    4. Manorma year book/any yearly issue.
    5. Any monthly g.k magazine 
    Apart from this there are questions specific to some fields like geography and economy. So aspirants are adviced to read NCERT class 10 to 12th geography and economics books. For polity they may refer to lakshmikant’s polity or internet search engines like google/wikipedia. 
    The cutoff for this paper is around 40%.
    Tips:
    • Start preparing from now onwards.
    • Give equal time for all the three papers.
    • Make sure that u have command over some specific topics like trigonometry, geometry & number system.
    • Read newspaper and note down important happenings. Maintain a diary/copy for this.
    • Buy cds practice books and practice it daily.
    • Learn and mug up some important historical events mentioned in lucent etc.
    • Make sure that u know the basics about planning commission/finance commission/pay commissions/law commissions e.tc
    • Make sure you know about the production of metals and ores in different parts of India. Often they give a map to locate such reservoirs.
