The comprehensive admission information is provided in the PDF document, which is divided into three sections: Part A outlines General Guidelines, Part B details Special Provisions, and Part C describes Admission Procedures. Part A contains extensive information regarding Admission Priorities, an Age Eligibility table, class capacity, reservation policies, and procedures for transfer cases.

Such admissions will only be considered if the enrollment is below 40 for Class I and 45 for all other classes, provided that the parent has been transferred to that location, intends to settle there post-retirement, or has been assigned to a non-family station or a Naxal-affected area while choosing to keep the family in a different location. Additionally, these requests will be evaluated only in areas where schools operated by these organizations are not present.
