Delhi Nursery Admissions - First List Declared

The first lists for nursery admissions to most of the capital's private schools were out on Tuesday and while some parents were overjoyed at their child making it, others were disappointed.

"We thank the neighborhood point-concept for all the three schools where he got selected," added Kathuria, a resident of Rajinder Nagar.

"We have tried to be just and fair in our admission procedure. The point system was balanced and very much in accordance with the directorate of education (DoE) guidelines," Vandana Puri, principal of Salwan Public School in central Delhi's Rajinder Nagar, told the sources.

But some parents were disheartened. "Our child's name was not there in the DPS (Delhi Public School) Vasant Kunj list. We are hoping for some more schools to come up with their list where we can secure a place," said Ashima Grover, mother of four-year-old Saurabh.


"We will wait for the second list to see if our child makes it to the school of our choice," he added.

Most parents have applied to over 25 schools to be on the safe side. The schools now move ahead with the admission procedure where parents would be completing formalities like the child's details and depositing the fees. IANS
