The National Institute for the Empowerment of Persons with Visual Disabilities (NIEPVD) has extended the registration deadline for admissions to its various classes until April 10. This decision was made in response to ongoing requests from parents who have to enroll their children at NIEPVD, the principal of the institute Amit Sharma said.
He said that the registration process began on February 10, with the original deadline set for March 15. However, parents said that many schools had not released their results in a timely manner, making it difficult for them to complete the registration process. In light of this situation, they asked for an extension
As a result, the deadline for the admission registration process for other classes has been extended to April 10. He also said that 100 applications had already been received for the classes established at NIEPVD. With the extended registration deadline, it is anticipated that the total number of applications will exceed 200. He said that 10 seats have been allocated for Bal Vatika, while seats have been reserved for other classes as follows: five for class I, three for class II, one for class III, two for class IV and ten for class IX.
Additionally, he said that there are no seats available for classes V, VII and VIII. He said that after the registration process for admissions concludes, the selection process to shortlist students will commence. This selection will be conducted through an online test, he added.
It will be recalled that this year to improve support for students with visual impairments, the NIEPVD has allocated 10 seats for non-visually impaired students in the maths and science stream for the first time in class XI. The selection process for non-visually impaired students for class XI will take place after the board results are announced.
