Transfer points for nursery admissions cancelled-HINDU

Transfer points for nursery admissions cancelled

With the Lieutenant-Governor assuring the Delhi High Court on Wednesday that nursery admission guidelines will no longer have the additional “five points” allotted to children with a transfer certificate from out of the State – some parents and activists who had alleged that the provision was being misused, had reason to celebrate while those falling in the genuine transfer case category were worried at being put to a disadvantage.

“It is big victory for residents of Delhi who are living here for the past 30-40 years and no one liked the idea from the beginning,” said Sumit Vohra of admissionsnursery.com whose information website had conducted a survey which said that 98 per cent of parents were unhappy with the NCR transfer points.

“While alumni points could be claimed in maximum two schools, transfer cases got additional five points in all schools. This excluded children with 70 points from any consideration in many good schools. Some schools asked for proof of residence up to one year old. In such conditions they may get the advantage of transfer. But beyond that it makes no sense,” said a parent, Tanmay Pandya, while taking the survey.

Another parent Deepak Kalkot said that transfer point were like some loophole where it was very easy for parents to fudge a company's letter head to show a transfer.

As soon as news of the development spread, parents were also worried about whether they would be required to apply in all the schools again. They were also wondering where the “five” points would be allotted next. According to the guidelines released by the Lieutenant-Governor, the admissions are done on a 100-point basis.

Parents had alleged that some of the schools were allowing children from Noida and Gurgaon to be eligible for inter-State transfer for which five points were given. This was to the severe disadvantage of children in Delhi since many of the schools measure distance through the aerial method through which some residential areas in Noida and Gurgaon also get included. Therefore, a child having a transfer certificate from these places would have gotten five points in addition to the 70 points accorded to neighbourhood.

Another manner in which the points were being abused was when parents who worked in any of these satellite towns and commuted to Delhi where they lived, managed a transfer certificate from their workplace and used it for the additional five points.

Mr. Vohra & AN. team, there must be some points for first child, like sibling and reservation to girl child.

First of all thanx to Mr.Vohra and his team for their commendable effort

What I feel is distance should be the only criteria for the admissions-no sibling , no alumini ,etc.

I will specifically talk of DPS Vasant Vihar (RKP) as the situation stands... even with the transfer criterion gone, the only ppl who will be getting admission there under the general category are sibling cases and the alumni... with every passing year... under the current system of guidelines both sibling cases and alumni cases will keep increasing and will have unlimited advantage. From this year onwards, DPS RKP will effectively behave as an exclusive club where no outsider will be allowed... you only can get an outside chance at admission if u qualify as EWS or its the case of a girl child.

This current guideline as is will keep creating this situation for all good schools unless there is a cap on number of ppl who get seats under the sibling category or alumni category.

Today its Mothers Intl and DPS RKP next year onwards there will be more such school...

as per the latest notification of d.o.e. tonight 27/02/2014 the biggest losers are waitlisted candidates. selected candidates have remained confirmed, but waitlisted candidates have been brought back to square one. why waitlisted candidates have to pay the price. why wait list have been rejected.

yes you are right specially those who were in top of their waiting list were sure of seats as some withdrawl always happen in schools.

better option would have been to do the draw for confirmed seats left after cancelling those of transfer pointees (including the waitlisted also in draw) and keeping the already created waitlist intact.

it seems waitlisted are paying the price for the fraud transfer point walas and DOE's shortsightedness
