To facilitate their integration into the education system, schools have been instructed to place the displaced students in English-medium sections, as they may not be well-versed in the Hindi language.

This decision was made during a meeting chaired by additional director Nandini Maharaj and attended by all deputy district education officers on 5 July. The education department has also expressed its willingness to assist senior secondary students from Manipur.

For those students in classes 9 to 12 who may not have the required documents due to their sudden departure from Manipur, the DDE Patrachar and NIOS have been directed to provide assistance by personally contacting them on the phone for admissions.

Moreover, school authorities have been instructed to assist provisionally admitted students in obtaining residential proof in Delhi with the help of the cluster resource centre coordinator section of Samagra Siksha. According to the Directorate of Education, the Kuki Students Organisation Delhi and NCR will coordinate with the DDE and attach designated Nodal In-charge to each district who will be responsible for overseeing the admission process specifically for students displaced from Manipur.
