Merit and Waiting List
The Digital Lottery creates a Merit List and multiple Waiting Lists. Parents must understand this clearly. Do not panic if your child’s name is not on the first list.
Merit List
This is the list of students selected first. If your child is on this list, you are lucky! You secured a seat in a government school. You must finish admission within the dates announced by DSHE (usually starting December 17). If you miss the date, your seat will be cancelled.
Waiting List
Students can apply to 5 schools. Many brilliant students get selected in multiple schools. But a student can only join one school.
This creates empty seats in other schools. These empty seats are filled from the Waiting List.
- Waiting List-1: After merit admission ends, if seats are empty, schools call students from Waiting List-1.
- Waiting List-2: If seats are still available, schools call students from Waiting List-2.
Important Tip: Do not lose hope if you are not on the Merit List. Many students get admitted from the Waiting List. Keep checking the school’s notice board or website.
