- Ekajalakam system allows choice of schools, streams, and subjects online centrally
The Directorate of General Education (DGE) in Kerala has initiated the online enrolment procedure for Plus One (Class 11) admissions for the academic term 2026-27. Students who have effectively completed their SSLC or equivalent examination can now sign up via the state's centralised portal, HSCAP (Higher Secondary Centralised Admission Process). The application link is currently active on the official website: hscap.kerala.gov.in.
The Kerala government implemented a unified admission system called 'Ekajalakam' to simplify the process for government and aided higher secondary schools throughout the state. This system enables students to choose their desired schools, streams (Science, Humanities, or Commerce), and subject combinations online without needing to visit multiple institutions.
The DGE has requested to check prospectus and user manual before applying online.
