Among the 26000 students applied online, 5071 students were allotted schools. However, there are 7204 seats were kept reserved in 675 schools of the district.
Sources said draw of lots would be taken out for all seats. However, the education department hoped that all seats would not be filled as parents want their wards should be admitted in selected schools.

Later, the last date was extended to May 4 and for the time to May 10.
