Notification Period Keep an eye out for official notifications from the state education department.
Application Submission Application forms are generally available from January to February. It's crucial to obtain and submit these forms within the stipulated time frame.
Document Verification Following the application submission, there is often a period dedicated to the verification of documents. This usually takes place in March.
Lottery Results If there are more applications than available seats, a lottery system is used to allocate seats. Lottery results are typically announced in April.
