Syed Abid Husain Sr. Secondary School (SAHSSS) is a self-financed school located in Jamia Nagar, Okhla, Delhi. It falls under the jurisdiction of Jamia Millia Islamia, its parent university. [3] When JMI shifted from Aligarh to Karol Bagh in 1925, the premises of Jamia Schools were one of the first to be built in Okhla. [4] The school itself was founded in 1989 as a private self-financed school under Jamia Millia Islamia. [5] Although the school has its own board, it follows the CBSE pattern. [6] [7]

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 Dr. Syed Abid Husain, a scholar, educator, and one of the founding members of Jamia Millia Islamia. Dr. 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]
