History
Founded in 1989, Syed Abid Husain Senior Secondary School operates under the aegis of Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) in New Delhi. The school is named in honor of Syed Abid Husain, a scholar, educator, and one of the founding members of Jamia Millia Islamia. Husain made significant contributions to Indian education and literature, writing extensively in both Urdu and English.[8] The school's buildings and hostels were among the first structures constructed in 1935 after Jamia relocated from Karol Bagh to Okhla during British India.[9]
Admission
Admissions are conducted on the basis of entrance examinations for classes 6th, 9th and 11th and on the basis of drawing of lots for preschool.[10][11]
