Army, Air Force and Navy Public Schools

CBSE day schools run by the armed forces welfare societies, giving first priority to children of serving personnel and admitting civilians against remaining seats.

Armed forces welfare education societies · India

Open now, no closing date announced

Day schools on or near cantonments and stations, admitting by their own school-level process.

Why this one matters

Well-resourced CBSE schooling at moderate fees in towns where the alternatives are limited. Civilian admission is genuinely possible but depends entirely on seats left after service families are placed.

What it covers

tuition. Levels funded: higher secondary.

Who can apply

You must be a citizen of India

Where applications fail

Most rejected applications are not ineligible students. They are eligible students who missed a step.

These are welfare society schools, not central government schools, so terms differ from one station to another. Rules at one branch tell you little about another.
Civilian seats are whatever remains after service children are admitted, and in some years that is very few.
Fee categories differ for service and civilian families. Ask which one applies to you before assuming a published fee.

If this one is not for you

Being ruled out of a scheme is not the same as having no options. Here is what is still open.

No civilian seats this year? Kendriya Vidyalayas follow a published priority order and admit at Class 1 by lottery where applications exceed seats.
Looking for CBSE specifically? Use the school finder to filter by board and area rather than by school system.
