Class VI
E-Lottery RouteFor the 2026–27 session, Class VI admission to Central Hindu Boys’ School and Central Hindu Girls’ School was conducted through e-lottery.

Preparation requires Class VIII-level English, Hindi, Mathematics, Social Science and Science.
Class XI
Stream-Specific SETClass XI applicants prepare separately for Maths, Biology, Arts or Commerce groups.
The 2026 bulletin included Class XI admission routes for both CHBS and CHGS.

RAAH should offer eligibility, application and admission guidance for this route.
