We are seeking admission for my grandchild in Rohini area and have applied in 23 schools. The father is alumni of Bal Bharti, Pusa Road and the mother is from Apeejay School, Sheikh Sarai. Bal Bharti Rohini and Apeejay School Pitampura have refused to consider 5 points for the alumni for our child's application on grounds that the parents are not alumni of the SAME BRANCH. How can they be? The schools are not that old.  

Further, nowhere in the DOE notification or the court rulings does it say that the alumni criteria is valid only if the parents are of the SAME BRANCH. The organization being the same and in the same city, how does it matter which branch it is. The child clears the 8 km. criteria.

Please clarify if the ruling is that for the alumni criteria to be applicable, the parents should be from the SAME BRANCH.

Look forward to your help.

Thanks, Anjali Gupta
