Nursery hunt begins for kids who missed the bus last year

Imp Points
Ncr schools become safe bet for parents whose kids did not get nursery admissions
Admissions in KG depends on Individual school policies and no of vacancies
Few schools with Limited KG seats consider only transfer cases
Some Principals urge parents not to resort for options such as play schools
Last year's nursery admission season spelt disappointment for Amandeep Chawla (name changed), whose daughter did not make it to a school in Delhi. So Chawla decided to let his daughter continue in the playschool instead of opting for a school in NCR.

This year, however, he is all set to apply for admission in kindergarten (KG) in Delhi schools. This route is slowly becoming an alternative for parents whose children do not get admission in nursery classes.

"I had the option of admitting my child in an NCR school, but I decided not to. Instead, my daughter continued to go to the the playschool in Greater Kailash. The class consists of just 15 children, every child is paid equal attention. This year, I will try for her admission in KG in some schools in the city," said Chawla.

Some schools are of the opinion that KG classes have more seats and hence, can accommodate students who seek admission.

"If a parent comes the following year, and says that they had applied the previous year, we always consider their case for admission in the prep (KG) class. This is usually bigger than nursery. There are more seats and the parents deserve a chance," said Jyoti Bose, principal, Springdales School (Dhaula Kuan).

Yet, schools also said that it is risky for parents to wait to seek admission in KG, since getting a seat depends on vacancies and schools' policies.

"Some schools do give admission in KG classes. But it is a risk that parents take. A few schools do not have the policy of taking students in KG," said Usha Ram, principal, Laxman Public School.

While NCR schools have become a safer bet for parents, letting a child continue in a playschool to seek admission in KG may not altogether be a prudent decision.

"Parents whose children did not get admission in nursery last year will have a tough time getting admission in KG this year. Many parents put their children into playschools or in NCR schools in the hope of changing schools the following year," said Sumit Vohra, founder www.admissionsnursery.com.

How many vacancies did Schools come out with for KG last year? None of the major schools did. Most of them probably filled up KG vacancies through back channels. I know of a child (from my child's Pre-School class) who was admitted to KG in DPS MR even though the School did not announce any seats.

@Mohammad, You are spot on did you read springdales principle statement . how can they talk to media like this as they did not open a single vacancy for kg .

But DPS RKP/VK did declare u can chk in KG group link given the vacancies were from kg-8 depending on seats available. u might find dps MR also( don't remember)

Also Springdales principal asked parents to personally approach the schools. Is there no set procedure or dates of seeking admission to KG? How do we know when to approach a school?

@Ashita, Most of the schools ( which dont start from kg) start feb onwards like DPS /Mothers/Apj and come with proper notification

Thanks

What a sad state of affairs in the national capital.  

According to DOE guidelines the uniform admission schedule is to be followed by pre-school, pre-primary and class I at the same time. Go through this below link for circular details.
