There are 137 Army Public Schools across cantonments and military stations in India, all following NCERT curriculum and affiliated to CBSE, New Delhi. The schools are administered by local formation commanders through School Administration and Management Committees (SAMC). From a modest 20000 students population in 1987, APSs have grown to a mammoth systems with a students strength of approximately 2.3 lac and 8500 teaching staff. On an average 5000 students are added every year.
Professional Colleges : The 1994 marks a milestone in the history of AWES, as they decided to venture into professional education by initially setting up one Engineering and Medical College each. From that little seed sown in 1994, the College system has grown to 12 Colleges including the late General’s dream college – Army College of Medical Sciences (ACMS), Delhi Cantt which opened in 2008 , AIT and other colleges. The others include Hotel Management and catering Technology, Management, Law, Dental Sciences, Education, Fashion Design and Nursing
