1 Draw of Lots for Gen Category (Open Seats)

When last DOE guidelines/FAQ were issued it was made mandatory for draw of lots for gen category to be held in presence of either of parents with videography to be done n cd to be sent to DD .Also parents were allowed to carry their mobile or video camera to record but in new guidelines it is not mandatory and some school will misuse it.We have seen some very renowned schools giving excuse of lack of space and they conduct draw of lots in presence of PTA who are also schools representatives only and post the results. Some schools call selected parents by email or sms .So for transparency Presence of parents should be mandatory (it is not in above gudelines) allowing mobile with videography should be allowed . Else draw of lots for general category might go ews way in some schools. "

Please see point no 40 of the (FAQ) below

2 -Rent Deed not included in valid address proof in cicular
As Delhi has floating population n many parents stay on rent but no valid proof has been mentioned in the yesterday DOE circular .In previous years also also some school refused to accept the rent deed and parents were harassed n even after securing admission they had to face lot of hardship. As per conventional rule 6 months old Court registered rent lease deed should be added in valid documents for address proof . Parents staying on rent are confused whether their rent agreement is valid or not.

3 Upper Age cut off limit should be fixed as it is pending from last 3 years

Many old established schools keep upper cut off age of 4 yrs on 31 Mar and on the contrary some schools give 15 extra points to kids older than 4 yrs .

Why DOE is not deciding upper cut off age from last 2-3 years

please see last year comparison of two sought after school in the same area ( most of the parents staying in vasant vihar would be applying in both the schools)

So in one school the same child is not eligible for nursery if he/she is 4yrs plus and in the other school he/she gets extra points in nursery if he/she is 4 yrs plus (why schools should have power to decide upper age cut off age )

a) See the last year criteria For Modern School Vasant Vihar where child is not eligible if he is 4 yrs +

he or she is eligible for KG

b) On the contrary if child is more than 4 yrs he gets 15 points extra for age Shriram School Vasant Vihar (TSRS)

See Shriram School Vasant Vihar (TSRS) criteria points for age above 4 yrs giving extra point on age

No clarity on rent deeds as proof

NEW DELHI: The directorate of education's failure in including rent agreements as valid document for residence proof has led to confusion among parents. A large number of parents, whose children will be vying for nursery seats, stay on rent and they have been left wondering whether the documents would be acceptable.

"We generally accept rent agreement or a bank account passbook with the address on it as residence proof. We are quite flexible in this regard," said Tania Joshi, principal, The Indian School. In the past, the DoE suggested the documents.

"I live in a rented house and have gas connection and rent agreement documents. But will they be accepted as valid address proof?" asked a parent on admissionsnursery.com. The website owner, Sumit Vohra, said about a quarter of his users live on rent.

"Not all schools accept the rent deed as proof. As per convention, registered rent deeds that are six months old should be added to the list of valid documents," he said. Many parents choose to move to areas rich in schools so they have more options for admitting their wards.

On the draw of lots, the guidelines say it "shall be conducted in a transparent manner, preferably in presence of parents." Vohra points out that in past years presence of parents or videography was mandatory. Making this optional gives schools permission to not allow parents during the draw. The debate on upper age limit has been on for years. There will be confusion on this too as some schools include age in their criteria and allot points to it.

The guidelines are for general category and private unaided schools. Though the circular doesn't specify this, the DoE has clarified that it will be applicable to minority institutions as well.

The decision on economically weaker sections and disadvantaged groups has been welcomed by schools, though lawyer-activist Khagesh Jha maintains it is discriminatory. "Let the government handle it. Especially after last year, I don't want any problems," Joshi said. Delhi Police had cracked down on fake EWS admissions last year and even arrested a school principal.

Hindustan Times 10 Dec

Hindustan Times (Delhi)-Parents fear bias in draw of lots, want to be present for it
Many institutions may misuse it,” said Sumit Vohra, founder of admissionsnursery.com.

Parents and experts raised concerns over the government-stipulated nursery admission guideline that does not make it compulsory for parents to be present while drawing lots in case two general category candidates score equal points.

The nursery admission schedule released by the Directorate of Education (DOE) says that schools should hold the draw of lots “preferably” in the presence of parents.

“It should be compulsory for at least one parent to be present during draw of lots. There is always this fear that schools may select certain names during draw of lots. You can’t be sure in this case unless you are present,” said Areej Khan, who is seeking admission for her nephew this year.

However, some schools said they call all parents for draw of lots. “We call all parents for conducting the process and ensure that it is transparent,” said Ameeta Mulla Wattal, principal of Springdales School, Pusa Road

Nursery admission rules become lenient

With the announcement of nursery admission dates, parents are gearing up to arrange all the documents required for the process. However, some activists and parents are a bit apprehensive about the transparency of admissions alleging that new norms are not stringent enough to pluck the existing loopholes.

One of the activists said that last year, the Department of Education (DOE) guidelines made mandatory that draw of lots for general category to be held in the presence of parents along with making a video of the whole process of draw but no such guidelines are enforceable this year as it is left to the school administration.

"Earlier parents were allowed to carry their mobile or video cameras to record but in new guidelines it is not mandatory and some schools will misuse it. We have seen some schools giving excuse for lack of space. Some schools only call selected parents by email or SMS," said Sumit Vohra of nurseryadmission.com

"Presence of parents should be mandatory and videography should be allowed otherwise there are chances of discrepancies creeping in the whole process of admission for general category similarly on the lines of EWS quota admissions," said Radha Rawat, a parent seeking admission for her kid this year.

Moreover, activists alleged that Delhi has a floating population and many parents stay on rent, but no valid proof has been mentioned in yesterday's DOE circular.

"Earlier also some schools refused to accept the rent deed and parents were harassed and even after securing admission they had to face a lot of hardship," said Vohra.
