NEW DELHI: As per the proposed schedule of nursery admission for 2013-14, admission forms will be available from January 1 to 15. Also, schools will be given a month's time to process the forms and interview parents before they come out with the first list of shortlisted candidates by February 15. The second list will follow on February 28th.
The entire process is likely to be completed by March 31st. The proposed schedule was submitted to the education minister Kiran Walia by the Directorate of Education on Friday. A formal government notification on the same is expected by next week.
"To avoid confusion, most of the dates for 2013-14 session are the same as the last time," said a senior officer from education department. Delhi has approximately 1,200 odd private unaided schools with around 1.5 lakh entry level seats. The minister had insisted upon giving sufficient preparation time to parents who are gearing to get their kids admitted to schools, said sources in the DoE.
"I wanted that the schedule be released at least a month in advance to avoid any panic among the parents," said Kiran Walia, education minister. Meanwhile, the admission guidelines to be issued to the schools by the government have not yet been finalized and will take few more meetings. The department also ruled out any probability of a common admission form for private schools.
