Nursery admission: Most parents not for the alumni criterion
With the nursery admission season in the Capital about to begin, a survey report has suggested that parents are against having the alumni criterion in selection of applicants to a school.
Last year, the alumni criterion was a subject of debate as many in the general category could not seek admission even after applying in more than 20 schools.
The survey was carried out by admission guidance blog admissionsnursery.com. According to the website, over 2000 parents took the survey. Of them, 53.2 per cent said only neighbourhood criterion should be considered for nursery admissions.
Only 4.2 per cent voted for the alumni criterion to be considered for admission.
Many schools in Delhi and NCR provide from 15 to 30 points out of 100 to children of alumni of the school and several parents and experts believe that this leads to “indirect screening” of children.
With 25 per cent seats reserved for those from economically weaker sections and disadvantaged groups, under the Right to Education Act, 2009, schools have been allowed to formulate their own categories for admission in general category and decide the number of points to be allocated to each category, according to their requirements.
“Parents believe that the alumni criterion allows for schools to screen students. Such students usually have well-to-do backgrounds,” Sumit Vohra from admissionsnursery.com said.
The survey also suggests that the number of points for the alumni category should be lesser thant hat for other criteria such as the first child and girl child.

Alumni points has to be totally slashed out as per RTE Act but since Govt. is giving more space to the school lobby we can't expect this to happen. Since education is for all Govt. should take action to give less points to alumni and more points to neighbourhood criteria.

Alumni points should not be there at all. Govt should take necessary action.

Distance points should be the highest , then comes first child/girl child and then economical weaker sections. Alumni points should not be there in nursery admissions.
