As per the allotment, Class 1 have nine admissions, Class 2 – eight admissions, Class 3 – 10 admissions, Class 4 – 10 admissions, and Class 5 – eight admissions, totalling 45 for police personnel children and 11 for others.
The event saw the participation of school authorities, senior police officials, parents, who appreciated the transparent admission process. With the selection process now complete, YIPS is set to welcome its first batch of students.
