Quick answer: There is no separate SOSE admit card now. Since Delhi’s SoSE schools have moved under the CM SHRI Schools scheme, students get the CM SHRI Schools Admission Test admit card on the DoE portal (edudel.nic.in) a few days before the test. For 2026-27, the tests were held in April 2026 (Classes 6 & 9) and May 2026 (Class 11). The 2027 admit card is expected before the tests in March–May 2027.

What Happened to the SOSE Admission Test?
The Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Schools of Specialised Excellence (SoSE) were selective government schools of Delhi for Classes 9 to 12, affiliated with the Delhi Board of School Education (DBSE). After the Delhi Board was scrapped in 2025, the SoSE schools are being shifted to the CBSE and brought under the new CM SHRI Schools scheme. The Delhi government set up 75 CM SHRI Schools in 2025-26; they are CBSE-affiliated, declared “specified category” schools under Section 2(p) of the RTE Act, and admit students to Classes 6, 9 and 11 through the CM SHRI Schools Admission Test. For the 2026-27 session, no separate SoSE admission was held – selective admissions to Classes 9 and 11 were done through the CM SHRI test.
