Nursery admission guidelines likely to be announced early this yea
Written by Shikha Sharma | New Delhi | Posted: September 24, 2014 3:45 am The Delhi government, keen to avoid a repeat of last year’s controversy over admissions to nursery classes in city schools, is likely to come out with admission guidelines early this year, possibly by October. The Directorate of Education (DoE) under the Delhi government is already holding meetings and consultations with schools. “We were told in our meeting with directorate officials that the guidelines this year may come as early as October,” Bharat Arora, chairman, Mount Abu Public School, said. Principals, who attended the meeting, said schools suggested sticking to the Ganguly Committee recommendations for admissions to nursery classes. “We have recommended sticking to the Ganguly Committee guidelines. But the department has invited suggestions and ideas from us,” Arora said. The next meeting with DoE officials is expected to be held over the course of the week. In line with directions of the Delhi High Court, the Ganguly Committee, headed by CBSE chairman Ashok Ganguly, has laid down recommendations for admissions to nursery classes. On September 9, the DoE had told the High Court that it expected to notify a new policy for admissions to nursery classes within 10 days. Last year, the process was stalled repeatedly by court cases, challenging the new guidelines framed by the Lt-Governor of Delhi Najeeb Jung. The guidelines were changed midway, delaying the admission process. “If all goes according to plan, the guidelines may be announced by October to avoid last-minute problems. But this is yet to be approved,” a DoE official told Newsline. But, the fate of the guidelines this year could also depend on a Supreme Court case slated to be heard on October 10. “The Supreme Court decision on applicability of RTE in nursery admissions is coming up on October 10. If the court says RTE is applicable for nursery admissions, everything will have to be done in accordance with RTE, which would mean that admissions would be done based on draw of lots and neighbourhood criteria,” Ashok Agarwal, lawyer, Social Jurist, said. Schools, nonetheless, are upbeat about the guidelines coming early. “It gives us that much more time to prepare. Nursery admissions are a hectic time,” Ameeta Mulla Wattal, principal, Springdales, Pusa Road, said. - See more at: http://indianexpress.com/article/cities/delhi/nursery-admission-gui...

Again same problem. Why can't policy of EWS admissions can be applied to General Category admissions?
By n large let there be 2 categories.
a) Completely based on EWS policy
b) Distance similar to EWS category with sibling preference.

So actually 10th Oct is the red-letter day.
The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act (RTE) which came into effect from April 1, 2010, has also addressed ECCE under Section 11 of the Act which states, "with a view to prepare children above the age of three years for elementary education and to provide early childhood care and education for all children until they complete the age of six years, the appropriate Government may make necessary arrangement for providing free pre -school education for such children".
So no doubt RTE Act applies for nursery too but the matter is the respective state government should frame the guidelines for the same.
