The first list of nursery admissions was announced on Monday.

DPS International School took the lead and announced its first list on Monday while DPS Vasant Kunj announced the list of short-listed candidates. Many schools are expected to announce the first list from January 22 to February 1.

Mother of a three-year-old from South Delhi said, “I was expecting the schools to release their first list after some time. My son has not qualified in the DPS International School, Saket but it may be because the school was considering children aged three-and-a-half years of age”. The eligibility criterion for nursery in DPS International School is three-and-a-half years.

Some parents were expecting the schools to release the first lists by the end of the month, as the Directorate of Education directs schools to release the first list by February 1, 2011 in its guidelines.

Parents seemed an anxious lot on Monday. Alok Garg, father of a three-year old from East Delhi said, “Our main issue is the refund of money because of the variation in announcement of the first list by schools. The schools are not giving us a month’s time to get our money refunded. What if my child qualifies in the first list of some average school and also manages to qualify in the second list of a better school? We will lose on a month’s fees.”

According to the rules followed by the DoE, it is mandatory for the schools to refund the complete fees within a month’s time. In this case the schools are supposed to deduct only `200 which is the fixed admission fee for all public schools whereas, if the parents ask for a refund after a month’s time, the schools deduct a month’s tuition fee as well. Tuition fees of schools vary from `500 to `6,000 from one school to another school.

Meanwhile, schools were found violating the norms once again. Sardar Patel School, Lodhi Estate in its website has mentioned that it will release its first list by March 10 whereas according to the DoE guidelines the last date for declaration of first list by schools is February 1.

Sumit Vohra, founder of admissionsnursery.com said, “There should be some uniformity in the declaration of results by schools.”
