# UP government opens Atal Awasiya Vidyalaya admissions for girls 2026-10-22T07:22:28+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Uttar Pradesh government is accepting applications for girls to enter Atal Awasiya Vidyalayas, residential schools offering free education and boarding. Eligibility is limited to children of construction workers registered with the state building workers welfare board for at least three years as of November 30, 2025, and children orphaned during the COVID-19 pandemic, including those covered by the Mukhyamantri Bal Seva Yojana. A maximum of two children per family can apply. Admission is through an entrance examination. For Class 6, the test covers mental ability, arithmetic and language, for Class 9, it tests Hindi, English, mathematics and science. Selection is provisional and confirmed only after original document verification. Parents should check the latest official notification for the 2026-27 academic session or subsequent years for updated eligibility and deadlines. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The scheme bundles two distinct beneficiary groups: children of registered construction workers and COVID-orphaned children covered by Mukhyamantri Bal Seva Yojana. The 2026-27 admission cycle adds a three-year Board membership requirement for construction workers, set as of November 30, 2025, which could exclude newly registered workers. The entrance examination structure varies by class, and provisional selection requires original document verification, meaning eligibility alone does not guarantee a seat. Parents must watch for updated notifications in subsequent academic years, as conditions like the minimum membership period or the two-child family cap may change. ## Coverage - indiatoday.in Straight service journalism, no political slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
