Documents Required

- Child’s Birth Certificate (as proof of date of birth)
- Valid Disability Certificate issued by a competent authority
- Proof of residence in Delhi (Aadhaar card, ration card, or utility bill)
- Previous class mark sheet or Transfer Certificate (if applicable)

Important Guidelines for Parents
The Directorate of Education has issued specific advisory notes alongside the Delhi Government Special Schools Admission 2026 notification that parents must keep in mind:
Check Seat Availability First: Parents are strongly advised to check class-wise seat availability at their preferred special school before submitting the online application. Applying for a class with no available seats will lead to rejection.
No Hostel Seats at Sewa Kutir: The DoE has specifically clarified that no hostel seats are available for the 2026-27 session at the Government Senior Secondary Special School for Boys with Blindness at the Sewa Kutir Complex, Kingsway Camp. Parents seeking hostel accommodation must explore alternative arrangements.
Students Already in Government Schools: Children already enrolled in government or government-aided schools who wish to transfer to a special school must approach their current school for re-admission and transfer-related assistance, rather than applying directly through the DoE portal.
Seat Allotment Process
Following successful document verification, the DoE will carry out the seat allotment on July 7, 2026, based on the availability of seats at the special school chosen by the applicant. In the event that the number of eligible applicants exceeds available seats, a draw of lots will be conducted at the school level in the presence of the school management and parents. The final list of selected candidates will be uploaded on the DoE’s official website for transparency.
Why These Special Schools Matter
For children with disabilities, Delhi Government Special Schools Admission 2026 represents far more than a routine school enrollment. These 12 schools are equipped with trained special educators, assistive technology, therapeutic support, and accessible infrastructure tailored to the unique learning requirements of each child. Securing admission here can be life-changing, providing students with the foundation, confidence, and skills needed to thrive academically and socially.
