The Directorate of Education (DoE) in Delhi has announced the first computerized lottery draw results for the EWS (Economically Weaker Section) admissions for the 2026-27 academic session on April 6, 2026. The second merit list is anticipated to be released shortly after April 22, 2026, as it will depend on the completion of document verification for candidates selected in the first draw, which is taking place from April 9 to April 22, 2026. Candidates who miss the initial verification window will have a final chance to verify documents between April 23 and April 28, 2026. The second draw will aim to fill unoccupied seats resulting from non-reporting or document rejections during this verification phase. To qualify for EWS admissions, families must have an annual income below ₹5 lakh and provide valid residence proof. The entire admission process, including appeals and final orders, is set to conclude by May 20, 2026.
