Why draw of lots in nursery admission be not held afresh?: HC -PTI
The Delhi High Court today asked the city government to inform it why draw of lots in nursery admission be not held afresh for all seats under neighbourhood scheme instead of just for those seats which were vacated after inter-state transfer category was scrapped.
Justice Manmohan asked the counsel for the government to take instructions from the directorate of education and listed the matter for further hearing tomorrow.
The court was hearing a plea against city government's decision to do away with the system of allocating points to inter-state transfer cases of children seeking admission in nursery classes here.
Delhi government had on February 27 issued a notification scrapping the inter-state transfer category under which it used to give five points to children whose parents have been transferred to the national capital from another state.
The notification was issued by the government after it admitted in court that there was misuse of the inter-state category.
The petition challenging the February 27 notification as being "totally arbitrary and unjustified" has been filed by Major Saurabh Charan and some other parents who have sought quashing of the government's decision to do away with the inter-state transfer category.
The petition has also sought directions to the government "to confirm the list of successful candidates/applicants including the children of present petitioners published by the schools prior to the passing of the impugned notification/ order..."
In the alternative, they have sought that draw of lots be conducted afresh for all seats under neighbourhood category by cancelling the entire draw held prior to February 27 and not just of those children who had availed of the benefit of the inter-state transfer category.
Under the earlier system, out of the total 100 points, 70 were given if the child lives in the neighbourhood of the school, additional 20 were given if a sibling is studying there, five points more if either parent is an alumni and another five points if it is an inter-state transfer case.
Those having 90 or more points are directly admitted while the rest have to undergo the draw of lots for admission.

There should not be any redraw for those applicants with 70 points who has got confirmed seat in lots after competing thousands of applicants. That would be totally injustice to those kids. Why are they challanging there luck.

If DOE comes with suggestion for re draw for entire process by scrapping the selected candidate in general catogories and girls categories of 70 pointers. Certainly those set of people will move to court for justice. Now it is going to be never ending selection process.

NO REDRAW for selected 70 pointers under draw of lots. why should there be one?
DPS VK - 37 seats and 1400+ applicants under general category on 15th feb.
DPS today - 41 seats and 1396 applicants. all you wizards pls calculate the probability and justify how a re-draw brighten the chances. also, how did those 37 kids were better off on 15th Feb with less seats and more and applicants.
and if at all it is decided, scrap all lists. don't have any quotas. all names in one pot and draw of lots. whether you are a boy or a girl or EWS or richie rich! treat all equal and then give a fair chance with a lucky dip.

Delhi is unfair to migrants and first born children. DoE, LG and all those who claim to be the experts should really have a re-think.
Why is there an EWS quota? political vote banking? KVs and govt. school seats lie vacant. and these schools are also run by us - with the taxpayer's money. why doesn't govt. run those efficiently? and if these are not up to the mark. shut them down and allocate the same land to open a pvt school.
