The application window to CM SHRI Schools has been extended from August 15 to August 22, and the ‘CM Shri Schools Admission Test 2025’, which was to be conducted on August 30, will now be conducted on September 6, the Directorate of Education (DoE) said in a notification. 

On July 30, the DoE had opened the application window to 33 CM SHRI Schools.

The notification, dated August 13, stated that the extension of the last date to submit online application forms and the subsequent examination has been extended “in view of the overwhelming response and numerous requests from eligible applicants and other stakeholders seeking an extension”. 

Aam Aadmi Party’s Dr. BR Ambedkar Schools of Specialised Excellence (ASoSE) are being upgraded and expanded to be in line with the PM SHRI Schools. In addition to the existing ASoSEs, other schools are also being converted to PM SHRI Schools under this expansion project and will comprise modern infrastructure and teaching-learning methods.

A total of 75 CM SHRI schools will be established in the Capital. Earlier, Education Minister Ashish Sood said that the Delhi Board of School Education will be phased out gradually and replaced by CBSE.
