Private schools in Jamshedpur India just put out their lottery results for new students starting classes. Lots of parents are now trying to get their kids into these schools since there aren’t many spots. They use a lottery because so many people want to go to these schools.
Each year about 70000 applications go to 60 different schools that are CBSE and ICSE. But they only have about 8000 seats. So it’s super competitive to get in since there are way more kids wanting to go than places available.
The lottery makes it fair since everyone has a chance to get in. Because of this lottery result parents are now figuring out if their kids got in and what they need to do next.
