The vacancies declared earlier by each school are then fed into the CSSPS. There are three modes by which placement is done under the CSSPS:
- Automatic Placement
- Self-Placement
- Manual Placement
What Is Automatic Placement
This is the process by which the CSSPS places the students by merit into one of their chosen schools in descending order. This is run automatically without any manual intervention.
If the candidate’s aggregate falls within the merit of the programme chosen for their first choice, the CSSPS then checks the student’s preferred residential status for space and places him or her accordingly. If the desired residential status is full, the CSSPS moves him or her to the second choice.
For instance, if a student with aggregate 8 would otherwise get a place in school A but has chosen the more competitive boarding option and space is full because other candidates with a better aggregate have secured placement into the boarding house, then the system will not place him or her on day status in that school because the DAY option was not the candidate’s choice.
The system will move to their second choice school to attempt to get both their programme and residential choice. If unsuccessful, the system will proceed to their third choice and so on.
What Is Self-Placement
In certain instances, a student may not be successful in securing placement in any of their choices. Self-placement gives such candidates the opportunity to go into the CSSPS portal and select from schools with available vacancies.
