Plea likely against partial redraw
NURSERY ADMISSION TROUBLES DON’T END YET
Shreya Roy Chowdhury TNN
New Delhi: There may be more legal action coming on nursery admissions. At least some transfer cases may go to court, not against the withdrawal of points, but against the decision allowing some to hang on to their seats.
Waitlisted candidates, too, are anxious. The guidelines, they say, don’t clarify whether existing wait-lists are to be scrapped while its members participate in other draws.
“I made sure I moved in time for the admissions,” says Kumar Saurabh who moved from Mumbai in 2013. “I got new voter ID cards, changed the address on my wife’s passport and updated our Aadhaar cards. I wasn’t expecting any points for transfer. But I saw the new guidelines were good.” Figuring that the points for transfer improved his chances significantly, Saurabh applied to a “limited number of schools”. His son was selected at three.
Saurabh informs that schools, especially after protests over transfer cases, became so vigilant that he was asked to furnish many documents other than those prescribed by the Directorate of Education. “We thought the first guidelines were progressive. Later, we believed when DoE scraps transfer points, they’ll come up with something rational. They haven’t.”
His fears coincide exactly with 70-pointers (applicants with only distance points). “At one Vasant Kunj school, there’s a draw for hundreds of 75-pointers for 63 seats. If you remove transfer cases, the batch will be of siblings and alumni,” Saurabh says.
Several parents and activists have been demanding “capping” of the number of seats that can go to these categories. “You should have similarly scrapped 20 points for sibling and five points for alumni or at least a cap should have been put on them as suggested by the Ganguly Committee in its IInd Report to the Delhi high court in 2007,” lawyer-activist Ashok Agarwal wrote to the LG on Friday.
“Parents with genuine transfer points say they will get one chance in the lottery while others will get more. Since technically all lists are provisional, on what ground can waitlist candidates be rejected?” Sumit Vohra of admissionsnursery.com says.
Don’t contest other criteria: HC to parents
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
New Delhi: The Delhi government on Friday informed Delhi high court that it has done away with points for interstate transfer cases of children seeking admission in nursery classes.
“The writ petition was essentially filed against the grant of points reserved for interstate transfer category. The Delhi government informed us that the provision of five points for interstate transfer cases has been done away with and a fresh notification been issued. In view of this, no further direction is needed. The writ petition stands disposed,” a bench headed by acting Chief Justice B D Ahmed said.
During the hearing, the bench asked petitioner Rohit Nagpal and other parents not to widen the scope of the petition by challenging other admission criteria. It, however, asked the parents to approach the single judge bench for other grievances related to the nursery admission process. The single bench, which was hearing a similar plea, had disposed of the petition.

Since there would always be someone or the other who would not be satisfied with criteria and the process has to come to a logical conclusion, let the new guidelinws prevail and lets all stop filing pils and going to court

I agree with nitin...Someone or the other would not be satisfied even if new guideline comes out again...and they will keep on going to court...We need to end here or the admission process will further get delayed again...

Fight must go on till the guideline is accepted as fair. People at large cannot suffer due to mistake of a handful of people. Even if the session starts 1-2 months late it will be worth and justified in favor of fair guideline.

The discussion and plea should be to preserve the genuine transfer cases, and not to question other criteria. Otherwise there is no end to this and no admission process can move forward.

Complete fresh lucky draw for all the 70 pointers is justified for everyone although what is going on is unlucky draw in installments that never be justified due to other's malpractices playing with nurturing opportunity of our new generation and this is harassment for parents losing their time, money, job progress and mental torture. who will pay for it.

EVEN I APLLIED IN 30 SCHOOLS THEN ALSO I DNT HAVE ANY CONFIRM SEAT FOR MY WARD...WHAT SHOULD WE DO...NOW THERE S SOME HOPE...DRAW SHOULD BE FOR EVERY ONE...

Yes draw should be refresh so that each kids gets equal chance of being selection. Admissions of those cancelled due to new inter transfer points scrapping have rights of selection with equal probability. So there should be refresh draw for 70 point category kids.
