Kerala HSCAP Plus One 2026: The online application procedure for Plus One (Class 11) admissions for the academic year 2026-2027 has started, according to the Directorate of General Education (DGE), Kerala. Students can now register through the state's centralised portal, HSCAP (Higher Secondary Centralised Admission Process), after passing their SSLC or equivalent examinations. The official website, HSCAP Kerala, has activated the application link.
To expedite the admission process for government-aided higher secondary schools across the state, the Kerala government uses a single-window system called Ekajalakam. The system allows students to select their preferred schools, streams such as Science, Humanities or Commerce, and subject combinations online without visiting multiple institutions.
