In which, NV1 and NV2 must attend high schools in the same enrollment area where the student or parent or guardian has permanent residence; NV3 can belong to any enrollment area.

If a student only registers for 2 wishes to 2 public high schools, he/she must register for NV1 in the prescribed enrollment area, NV2 in any enrollment area. If a student only registers for one wish to a public high school, he/she can register for a high school in any enrollment area.

Students wishing to change the admission area must clearly state the reason in the application and be confirmed by the Head of the unit receiving the Exam Registration Form.
