Admission Guidelines suggested by

the National Progressive Schools’ Conference (NPSC)

NPSC in its General Body meeting held on 3^rd December 2014 welcomed the decision of the honourable high court calling it a landmark judgement, upholding autonomy of the private unaided public schools and granting freedom to the schools to devise their own admission guidelines.

Members decided that the guidelines should be –

(a) Student friendly

(b) Parent friendly

(d) Transparent

(e) Catering to all segments of society.

The policy designed should be clear and such that it is easy to implement and without any confusion.

NPSC schools are already following the Right To Education Act in Toto and have provided quality education to children admitted under 25% seats for EWS with full zeal and enthusiasm.

Children from all social and economic backgrounds shall be equally considered for admission.

No parent / child would be interviewed.

Following are the guidelines advised by the NPSC to its members –

Neighbourhood/distance- All members agreed that this should be one of the criteria, for which each school can decide the points keeping in mind their own specific requirements and catchment areas.
Sibling- Agreed by all that points must be allocated for siblings
Alumni- Members agreed for allotting points for alumni as per specific requirement of each school
Staff ward- Everyone agreed that status quo should be maintained (5%)
Management quota- All members agreed on the Management discretion upto 20% seats.
Children with special needs- The members agreed that as per the suggestions of the Chairperson, NPSC schools must be disabled friendly and bring in children with special needs as a social responsibility.

The house felt that other categories could be made optional depending upon school specific requirement i.e. –

*Single Parent.

* Girl Child.

* First Born Child.

*Minority.

Etc

The above parameters are only for general seats. It may be noted that as per the directions of RTE, 25% of the seats have to be reserved for the EWS category.

All these parameters had been cleared by the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi in their order dated 29^th November 2007 and later by the decision of Hon’ble Supreme Court of India vide order dates 14^th December 2007.

It was also decided that the amount to be charged: Only Rs 25/- for registration (No other charges).
There should be no sale of Brochure/Prospectus or any money charged for the same.

The house agreed that the admission process should be initiated at the earliest and accordingly decided that -

Distribution & Collection of Forms should open between 20^th December 2014 and 20^th January 2015 for a minimum period of 15 days.
Draw of lots for Economically Weaker Section should be done between 25^th January 2015 to 5^th February 2015.

The schools should give dates for display of first list or any subsequent list on website / notice board.

The entire admission process should finish by 31^st March 2015.

Catholic schools to give forms from January 1

NEW DELHI: The Catholic schools of Delhi are "going ahead with nursery admissions." Instead of waiting for the outcome of the court case on nursery guidelines, the Delhi Catholic Schools Association announced the decision at its monthly meeting on Monday.

"We have left the dates to each institution but since December is a very busy month for us-because of Christmas-most of us are likely to start distributing forms from January 1," says Sister Nirmalini, principal Carmel Convent and a member of the association. She adds, "If a common schedule comes, we will follow that-like we did last year-but for now, this is the decision. We aren't waiting for the court case."

School authorities discussed the criteria as well and any changes from last year are unlikely. "The Christian community will be given preference, then neighbourhood or distance, alumni and sibling," says Sister Nirmalini. Co-education schools are likely to allot points for "girl child" as well.

The association has over 30 schools that can accommodate anywhere between 100 to over 350 students each. The minority institutions had been covered by the December 2013 nursery guidelines and had challenged them and won a stay. These schools had objected to both the fixing of criteria and points allotted to them as well as the inclusion of a 20% free quota for EWS students in schools on government land.
