Viqarunnisa Noon School
Rush of admission seekers on first day
Sale of admission forms for class I of Viqarunnisa Noon School began yesterday with many parents of admission seekers returning empty handed due to a huge rush of applicants.
A large number of guardians thronged all four branches of the school from early morning with many failing to get an admission form despite standing in long queues for hours.
Many expressed anxiety and fear of not being able to obtain a form.
“I came here at 5:00am and could not manage to obtain a form till 11:00am despite waiting in the queues,” said Abdus Sobhan, a guardian who came at the school’s main campus at Siddheshwari.
The school authorities however said forms would be available for four days and the huge number of people was due to the first day of sale.
“This is why we kept four days to sell forms and I hope all would be able to obtain one,” Husne Ara Begum, principal of the school, told The Daily Star yesterday.
Forms will be distributed from 8:00am to 11:00am for morning section and 1:30pm to 4:00pm for day section till November 10 against 1,568 seats for class I in four branches of the school. The school will admit students on lottery system.
