Schools to hold a fresh draw of lots based on ‘95 points’ system

Written by Shikha Sharma | New Delhi | February 28, 2014 1:16 am

Fresh draw of lots will now be conducted in all schools.

The Department of Education (DoE) has amended the nursery admission guidelines by reworking the point allocation system and released a new admission schedule for this academic session.
This comes in the wake of the department receiving numerous complaints about parents misusing the interstate transfer points.

With the deletion of interstate transfer points (5 points), admission to schools will now take place on a 95 points system — “the points determined only as per neighbourhood, sibling studying in school and parent alumni of school criteria”,  a notification by the DoE stated.

Schools will also have to modify the first list of selected candidates, by vacating seats given to interstate transfer applicants. Children already selected based on neighbourhood, sibling and alumni criteria will retain their seats. Those children with 70 points who were selected in the draw of lots will also retain their seats.

“If a school has already conducted draw of lots for applicants with 70 points, the draw shall remain valid for selected/confirmed candidates only. Fresh draw of lots will be held for remaining applicants, who have 70 points, including wait-listed applicants and those applicants who were securing 75 points because of the interstate transfer points category case,” states the order.

Fresh draw of lots will now be conducted in all schools.
In the previous system, of a total of 100 points, 70 are given to children living in the neighbourhood of the school, 20 if the applicant’s sibling studies in the same school and five points each if either parent is an alumnus and if it is an interstate transfer case.

Only those having 75 points out of 100 were considered for the draw of lots while those having 90 points were automatically admitted.

Instead of February 28, the first list of selected candidates, including those belonging to the economically weaker section and disadvantaged group, has been extended to March 15.
The date of display of second list, if any, will be March 20. The date of display of subsequent lists , if any will be from March 21 to March 31, 2014. The admission process will close on March 31.

“Parents have really appreciated the changes made. But parents of those children, who were genuine interstate transfer cases, are now contemplating legal recourse,” Sumit Vohra, founder of admissionsnursery.com, a portal representing the parent community in Delhi, said.

Who will make the cut

  • Children already selected based on neighbourhood, sibling and alumni criteria will retain their seats
  •  Those children with 70 points who were selected in the draw of lots will also retain their seats
  • The date of display of second list, if any, will be  March 20, 2014
  •  The date of display of subsequent lists , if any will be from March 21 to March 31
  • The admission process will close on March 31

lets oppose the alumni point also on the same ground as that of Transfer point since there is no fixed criteria for consideration of Alumni making it venerable to fraud. 

STOP YELLING ALL YOU 'GENUINE TRANSFER CASE' GUYS - SOME OF YOU GOT SELECTED AND NOW AGAIN WILL BE PART OF LOTTERY DRAW - WE 70-POINTER GUYS WHO ARE STAYING IN DELHI FOR QUITE SOME YEARS NOW WERE NOT EVEN CONSIDERED FOR LOTTERY DRAW - HOW DO YOU TAKE THAT??

WHAT THE HECK IS THE MEANING OF A TRANSFER CASE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SESSION - DO YOU NOT REMEMBER YOUR CHILDHOOD DAYS WHEN IT WAS MANDATORY TO ADMIT A TRANSFERRED PARENT'S CHILD AT MID-SESSION?

Looks like you don't know the difference between raising your voice and yelling. Using caps doesn't make your point valid.
Please refrain from attack on people and mind your language a bit.
We all are parents here even if difference of opinion is there.
Genuine transfer cases ahud be allowed and first born child provision shud be there. All genuine transfer cases shud be taken up too by AN team and first born child also to be realistic and fair

Mr. Vohra, Could you please explain, why you are not suggesting something of your own, every time parent are new, hence this topic always remains hot.....conducting survey, appreciating and then criticizing guideline, would do good for any one...all parent are ofcourse biased as per eligibility (Neighbour, Alumni, Sibling)...Please suggest something which is acceptable to all, else every year you are also doing the same thing..and conclusion be never met....

When Transfer point was scrapped, then why partial redraw ?? It will be a BIG injustice. there should be a complete redraw for general category if goodwill and fairness is what all parents want.

Mr. Bohra, you have got access to all schools, you have database, you can analyze things, if DoE is not doing there part, may i request you to please do the analysis before implementation of guidline...after there is substantial time in-between issue of guideline and start of release of list...

Very good decision.after all a person residing in Delhi since birth should be given priority , why transfer cases r treated so specially,what about those who r living here from decades,where shoud they go. M happy that all will b treated at par now
Whether Transfer cases are genuine or not is not the case..Why extra points for the first level of school..its like an entrance..equal for all barring siblings n alumni.Transfer cases can be considered mid session or middle level but entry level Big NO...Im glad its been scrapped as i have gone through the pains of my son not getting admitted anywhere due to lack of points years back.
