High school admission 2024. Registration procedure, step by step
On Thursday, July 11, 2024, high school registrations begin for eighth graders who have taken the National Assessment exam.
When the high school registration forms are filled out
Registration forms for high school admission 2024 are completed between July 11-22. This procedure is carried out at school, in the presence of parents and the head teacher. Students will be notified in advance of the day and time of the appointment.
What high school admissions cards look like
Here is what the registration form looks like that needs to be filled out this year.
How to complete the options
The Ministry of Education has made a series of recommendations contained in a guide.
Before completing the application form, students and their parents should make a list of their desired majors. Indicatively, the last entrance exams from past school years and the student’s position in the county and Bucharest hierarchy should be checked, which will be published on the website of the Ministry of Education today, July 10.
Once the high schools and majors are identified, the student should compile a list of those codes that correspond to his options in order of preference. The first, at the top of the list, will be the most desired high school. Then the others, in descending order of preference. It is important that the list includes as many options as possible.
- The codes specific to each specialization are entered in order of preference, horizontally, in the boxes at the bottom of the page.
- The number of options should be as large as possible. The reason? The computer will not move on to the next candidate until it has checked all the options of the student ranked in front of him and assigned him to one of them. It is also recommended to make honest choices by ticking some high schools where the student knows he would have a real chance of being admitted.
- The codes are filled in very carefully. Too few options, too few codes, or incorrectly entered codes can lead to an unwanted assignment.
- After completing the registration form and entering the options into the computer, the student and his parents will receive the completed form to check. It is extremely important that all information is correct before the application is signed. If mistakes are noticed, students can correct them before the worksheets are listed.
After submitting the registration forms, the computerized allocation of students to the desired high schools follows.
