Form Dates | Admission Criteria | Results | Fee Details | List of All Schools
Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Monday ordered private schools in Delhi to not allow nursery admissions till it gives a final verdict on the validity of government's 2010 notification and whether it follows the Right to Education Act. "Schools cannot formulate their own admission policies," the court further ordered.
The notification allows schools in Delhi to formulate their own guidelines and preferences based on religion, sibling and alumni to admit children in nursery. The court had earlier said the Centre and the Delhi government cannot "dilute" RTE Act by allowing unaided private schools to use their own criteria for nursery admissions.
The court had also said the ongoing nursery admission process in Delhi would be cancelled if it decides to "quash" the notification issued on December 15, 2010 by the Directorate of Education (DoE) on behalf of Delhi government.

Spoke to Delhi International School-Dwarka and as per them they will not follow any court order.
Please let us know where to complain
According to RTE, no child can be discriminated.
EWS is clear case of discrimination on the basis of Parents' Income/caste. So why keep aside 25% seats for them?
Ideally if RTE is to be followed in true sense, Government should conduct common lottery system for all the applicants (General and EWS)without any category or reserved seats for both Private and Government schools. Then Government should reimburse fees for EWS candidates selected in Private schools.
But many parents would not like to send their children to Government schools or any closest school which does not have adequate facilities.
According to the 2001 census, 8.5 crore children are out of school in India and around 1.20 crore children are involved in child labour. There is a necessity for upliftment of economically and socially disadvantaged groups. The government needs to focus on this question in the context of the Right to Education Act.
What about the hundreds of General category kids whose seats have been reduced due to the EWS quota.
For progress to happen both General & EWS Should move together. You cannot have progress by EWS substituting and reducing general seats
Jaswal: I've raised this question before as well - what is the justification of the reservation of 25% seats for EWS? Has there been any study which points out that 25% of all school children in Delhi belong to Economically weak parents who're unable to pay any school fees?
I agree with you... not everyone stays next to a school, some people do not have a decent school in 10-12km radius. Clearly any new guideline would have to keep this in mind and even if they give weight age to distance (the court may not even do that and just limit to flat draw of lots without any criteria) the category may start with 10-12km, which means that for some such as those in Vasant Kunj, it could be a choice of as many as 10-15 schools and you may land up in any of those. Even then it would not be equal opportunity..
