The Directorate of Higher Secondary Education (DHSE) has directed all schools to conduct an awareness programme on the e-admission process for Class 11 students. The awareness programme aims to guide Class 10 passed students and their parents to understand the online admission procedure for the academic session 2025-26 and avoid difficulties during the application process. Schools are required to complete these sessions by June 6, 2025.

As per the official notice, the Common Application Form (CAF) submission process is ongoing. Eligible students who declared passed in the Odisha Class 10 exam 2025 can submit the CAP form by June 30 through the SAMS portal. Students can also edit their CAF up to four times using OTP authentication during this period.

“This is to inform you that the e-Admission into Class-XI has started from 24.05.2025. Most of the students who have passed Class-X may be unaware of the e-Admission process. It is therefore requested to conduct an awareness programme for the students applying at your school level by following the enclosed guidelines by 6th June, 2025, positively so that they will not face any problem in getting admission,” the official notice said.
