Admission parameters discriminatory’
New Delhi: With the parameters of parents’ profession and qualification having been scrapped, schools will have to primarily rely on other basic criteria like distance, alumni, sibling, girl child, etc. However, these parameters are as discriminatory as profession and educational qualification.
Sample this. After the government introduced the last-minute changes in the admission criteria, a school like Gyan Bharati ended up giving a whopping 40 out of 100 points for distance to almost every successful candidate. ‘‘How else could I divide 100 points among the remaining parameters. It was really difficult,’’ director R C Shekhar had told Times City. Parents staying beyond eight kilometres from the school were hardly left with a chance.
Similarly, points like alumni or sibling make it difficult for first-time parents or for those who studied outside Delhi. Some parents feel that giving more points for the girl child takes away the opportunity from boys! Sumit Vohra, who runs an online forum to guide parents, said, ‘‘I have a daughter who was admitted in nursery last year. So I want that education for girls should be promoted. But this should not happen at the cost of male children. It should be a level playing field.’’
Another parent, who had applied in a school in west Delhi, said, ‘‘The school fills up all its seats with children of alumni or those whose siblings already study there. Is it my fault that I didn’t study in Delhi? I was in one of the best schools in Gwalior, but it’s sad that nobody cares.’’
Ashutosh Batta, principal, Bloom Public School in Vasant Kunj, said removing the profession and education criteria will prevent schools from admitting a particular set of children to keep their ethos going. However, dividing the 100 points for admission into other parameters should still be non-discriminatory.
HC not to interfere in admission process
Delhi HC on Wednesday expressed its reluctance to interfere in the nursery admission process in the city and suggested the aggrieved parents approach the directorate of education. Justice G S Sistani said that the parents should approach the grievances cell of the education department. HC was hearing a petition filed by a father whose son did not get admission in a city school. The petitioner alleged that the school has not followed the criteria under

Yes, I agree with Dr.Sakshi..
I have never come across with any guy like Sumit, who has been doing it for all parents sake.
In this high time of money minded world "TIME IS MONEY and its very true"..
Sumit has been doing great efforts for all of parents.
We need to understand, that this is not an easy task.. putting his own money to run the portal, then devoting time (less time for family)..
dr sakshi arora said:mohitji, i undrestand your view point but somehow i couldnt digest the line" every year many sumit vohra will stand out of the crowd" ....... i am quite impressed by your optimistic thinking and sincerely hope we have a few more sumit vohras or people who have the courage to stand out, speak their mind, challenge the whole education system.....all fr the sake of other people.Why only nursery admissions I would want more clones of Mr sumit vhra, people like mr sumit to raise other important issues as well.All of us in the forum know only how to express their feelings, grudges etc only on the site or at the dinner table....none of us have taken the same intiative,responsibilty to come forward and do sumthng abt it.I just hope we have one more Mr Sumit vohra this year....a person who is ready to giv up his personal life to bring joy/solve other peoples personal problem...their childs admission.

@ SUMIT JI, i agree to your views totally.
@ Nidhi verma ji,
If getting degrees is education then people you are refering to are NOT EDUCATED . Such parents who treat their daughters differently from their sons need to throw those degrees into the gutter. This kind of mentality is REGRESSIVE AND SHOULD BE CONDEMNED AT ALL COST. SUCH PEOPLE ARE NOT HELPING GIRLS BUT INFACT THEY ARE AGAINST THE REAL EMPOWERMENT OF GIRL/WOMEN.
People who are proponents of girl child getting extra point and demeanouring and discriminating boys are doing the same mistake what happened to the girls in the history. However if one does the same mistake again then it implies that this preferencial treatment is nothing but vengence and male bashing. This kind of male/boy bashing attitude is the product of MILITANT FEMINIST MINDSET which is nothing but extremism and these champions of the women’s cause have pushed, arm-twisted and bullied the Government into passing many anti-male, anti-family provisions and policies in the name of women’s rights and empowerment and hence this point system criteria of giving extra 5 point to girl child.
GIVING EXTRA AND PREFERENCIAL TREATMENT TO GIRLS AT THE COST OF BOYS IS AMOUNTING TO PROMOTION OF DOWRY EVIL MONSTER.....
HOW !!!!!
PLS READ ON
Girls have always married up in our society, i.e. the economic status/social status/educational status of the boy is higher than the girl in 99% of the cases, barring a few exceptions (the existence of which is the law of Nature). So every girl (and her parents) looks for an educated, well settled boy for an alliance. However, as the Indian Govt. has not furthered any scheme to educate boys, most boys are not able to perform academically and the supply of “eligible bachelors” is very less. That means there is stiff competition among girls to get that “eligible bachelor” and whosoever, pays the highest amount of dowry gets the alliance. It’s simple Demand-Supply dynamics which is currently one-sided. Make it two-sided and the problem is solved. But is anyone actually interested in solving problems?
Nidhi Verma said:Although a lot of people have raised issues with the girl child getting 5 extra points, and single parents getting ten, we must the larger picture, within which these are justitfied.
first of all, please remember, that the single parent although he/she is getting those 10 points, is also forgoing around 20 points( education+profession) which they would have otherwise got easily. as far as the girl child is concerned, although most of us are from basic middle class backgrounds, which though educated still have a fetish for a boy child. how many of you can claim not to have a single person in your family not pining for a boy child? and this is so deeply embedded in our culture that not one, but several generations of educated people will be able to erase the divide between the girl child and the boy child.
i saw a discussion about the 5 points to girl child where someone said a time will come when all the girls will get educated, and the boys will be uneducated.....well, it is exactly the reverse of the situation from which we are moving forward....girls have in the past, not got the same opportunities boys have been given. and this is widely rampant in our culture.
i know of educated people who openly distinguish between their boy and girl. the boy will be sent to a co-ed school, oh but the girl can be tucked away in a convent, or worse still, the boy's school application should be made far and wide, but the girl, oh well, "gali ke kone waale school ka faram le aao bhar do".
also, a lot of these girls, for want of incentives like these, in lower income groups, in lower middle class families with the parents perhaps the first generation of educated people, would not cross class 8.
so, in the larger scheme of things, one has to accept the benefit to the entire society, not how it may influence us as individuals directly.

Mohit sir ji,
kya aap next year sumit key kadamo par chal saktey ho, as u will not have fear of ur kids admission ?
A teacher feels proud when his student outsmart him. Why cant you outsmart the teachers ?
Mohit Jain said:Seems like the real sanctity of the Point System and DOE Directives are all gone....another year....hundreds of parents were made fool with some full-proof systems by schools.
Every year we might see many Sumit Vohras standing out of the crowd.........but in the end.........we have to believe that they are our teachers and we can't be smarter then them.

Have u ever beaten that line of complaint/suggestion before to DOE or GOVT, sir ji
Mohit Jain said:No rewards on beating the line now. We have missed the addmissions in many schools like DPS Dwarka, Venkatesh International Dwarka etc. just because of the fact they gave whopping 35 points out of 100 to the siblings...............
Govt. should put a fixed range of points on every criteria....it should not be left on the schools to decide as per their own.

I totally agree with Dr. Sakshi n Deepak ji......
Infact they just wrote what i was trying to say.....
Sumit sir is devoting a hell lot of time just to help US, which i think no 1 from us would ever think to do.....
That to, without any monetary benefit.....
N Rahul Ji i hope anyone from these deaf n dumb people will listen....

Agreeing to you but why give 10 points for admission to girls why not just reduce the fees then also parents will come out. Being a girl myself did my schooling from best of the schools staying in delhi from birth i dont know any such case if someone is ready to spend 14lakhs minimum for 14 years will need points. Points are needed by those who send to galli ke koone wala school in your words then they wont even try after points as they wont like to spend money and rather save with a excuse for marriage. Also with profeesion and education points going off how will be a single parent is at loss. Loss is of those who have boys with happy family. This system sucks
