The Bihar government has opened admissions for the newly established Minority Residential Schools in Kishanganj and Darbhanga for the academic session 2026–27. These schools are designed to provide free quality education, hostel facilities, meals, medical care, and modern learning resources for students belonging to minority communities including Muslim, Sikh, Christian, Buddhist, Jain, and Parsi families. Admissions are available for Class 9 and Class 11 in Arts and Science streams, with selection based on entrance examinations and merit lists.
The schools feature modern classrooms, smart computer labs, science laboratories, libraries, playgrounds, residential hostels, and secure campus facilities to support holistic student development. The government has reserved 75% of seats for rural students and 50% seats for girls to improve educational opportunities for economically weaker and underprivileged communities. Officials believe these residential schools will strengthen educational infrastructure in Kishanganj and help students access better academic and career opportunities in the future.
