In UAE, admissions are taken in the months of April and September depending on seat availability. This is the reason for the current rush.

The school authorities clarified that those who have written the entrance exam early and are waiting for the limited seats bought by TC are considered. They buy the name and phone number saying that they will be considered for the next vacancy.

According to the school authorities, regarding 100 people are applying for admission in schools in different emirates of UAE every day. But there is a strict instruction from the education department of the respective emirate not to take more students than the current capacity.
