Keeping in view the directives issued by the Directorate of Education, the sale and submission of forms has to be completed by all schools by January 15. Taking this into consideration most of the city schools have made their forms available for sale online till Jan 15, but a few closed their sale on December 31. This has marked the Round 2 of the Nursery Admissions Game on Friday.

Many parents have been scouting around the capital during the day and surfing school websites in nights – searching for information and collecting forms.

The deadline for submission of forms for these schools is January 15, except Tagore International, Vasant Vihar which closes its submissions on January 7. Amity International, Saket has already put up the first list of shortlisted children. The dates for the informal interaction of the guardians have also been declared.

Some of the schools that completed the sale of their forms on Dec 31 are:-

Nursery Registration Fee

Recently, the Directorate of Education passed orders that nursery registration fee should not be more than Rs 25, but there are still many schools in the city that are charging separately for the form and prospectus. This joint fee, when put together is way above the norm which has been set by the DOE. There are a few schools which are giving their prospectus free of cost, but are charging a “processing fee” for the same. The fees charged are anywhere between Rs 200 – Rs 800 for a single school prospectus.

With parents applying in at least 10 schools to ensure that their child bags a seat, admission process this year seems to be a repeat of last year. Parents have actually chartered out a budget just to buy the admission forms. Parents belonging to the lower strata of the society do not have much choices left, just because of the high “processing fees’ charged by the schools. Making a mockery of the DOE’s directives, the admission process has begun in the city and the parents are again dacing to the tune of the schools.

Taking this into consideration, there is a hue and cry in the public and the general opinion is that to prevent this, the directorate should immediately issue a public circular clarifying that the cost of admission form, which should not exceed Rs 25. This cost should include the cost of prospectus, as contemplated in DoE orders.

Also, to urge the Delhi government to “rein in private schools”; the Delhi Abhibhavak Mahasangh will stage a dharna at Jantar Mantar on December 23.
