17 Feb 2014 Hindustan Times Hopes wane as nursery lotteries progress

NEW DELHI: Nursery admissions, which are on in full swing in the city, have left a large number of parents disappointed. The children of most of these parents could not make the cut to any of the schools this year after a draw of lots. SONU MEHTA / HT Parents protest against lack of transparency in the nursery admission process at Jantar Mantar on Sunday.

Miffed at the way the admission process was carried out, a group of parents from Admissionsnursery.com on Sunday staged a protest at Jantar Mantar, demanding greater transparency in the inter-state transfer points allotted to the parents.

They alleged that the interstate transfer criterion was subject to manipulation.

“Even though the DOE has allotted five points to interstate transfer criterion, it proved unfair for most of us. It is completely ambiguous and leaves a lot of parents at a disadvantage,” said Tarun Bhattacharya, a parent.

Some parents had applied to as many as 30 schools. But their hopes too have been flagging as the lottery process in these schools progresses. With more than 4.5 lakh applications received by nearly 970 private schools in the city, parents say that chances of their children making it to a school of their choice are slim.(Data Given by Mr Sumit Vohra)

“Most parents who have applied to schools have 70-75 points. Of those who have 75 points, there are parents with points for alumni or inter-state transfers. All these parents are put through the lottery process. So for an average of 100 seats, there are nearly 1,5002,000 applications and most of us end up being left out,” he added.

My opinion is that 75 points and 70 points both should be treated as equivalent point and should be clubbed together then there should be a draw. What is your opinion on this as then everything will be depends on luck only
