About:

  • The new Armed Forces Preparatory School by the Delhi government, with its campus in Southwest Delhi’s Jharoda Kalan, will be its first experiment with a fully residential school.

  • The announcement for an armed forces preparatory school had been made by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in his 2021 budget speech, under the government’s ‘Deshbhakti Budget’. Applications for admission to the first batch are currently ongoing.

  • The school is being considered as one of the government’s new Schools of Specialised Excellence.

  • According to a government official, the school’s curriculum will have two parts — a basic foundational study component and another on the specialisation, which would entail preparation for National Defence Academy (NDA) and Services Selection Board (SSB) tests and physical readiness.
