CBSE's class X students, who pass school-based and Board exams this year, are eligible to apply for admission to senior secondary schools run by the state government through the single window system.

On Friday, the Kerala high court, responding to a petition by Muslim Service Society and others, directed the state government to accept applications of those students who have passed CBSE class X examination for the higher secondary class for academic year 2013-2014 on the basis of merit. The court's order is an interim relief pending final disposal of the writ petition.

The state government had, in an order on April 26, given first preference to students of state schools for such admissions thereby putting lakhs of CBSE students who passed class X at a serious disadvantage. Appearing on behalf of the petitioners, senior advocate T P M Ibrahim Khan said that as per the declared policy of the state government and CBSE, all CBSE students who passed either school or Board-based examination are eligible and entitled for getting admission to senior secondary class in state government-run schools.
