Nursery Admissions in Delhi Gurgaon Noida NCR 2025-26

Please do not get disheartened. This is only the 1st list. Many parents will soon finalize their schools and let go of others so the WL will start moving up. We are all in this struggle. It is so that some have to struggle harder to achieve their goal. But it is just a matter of time. Do not look at other selections and build up unnecessary anxiety. Let the unfairness of the system not bog you down at this precious hour.

Now is the time for action and not blaming the system which can be done endlessly.

Few suggested action items for parents:

1_ If you have selection in any less preferred school, block it. Any school. A backup will give you confidence to think clearly.

2_ Keenly watch the Waitlists you are on. Some schools (like St. Thomas Dwarka) have FCFS instead of rank for waitlisted candidates.

3_ Get your documents in order lest you are called for doc verification.

4_ Start considering NCR schools like Modern Deepali/Kundli/Charmswood/etc or any other suggested in the forum.

5_ For parents who have secured seats, a humble request to update the forum once you have done admission formalities, regarding the schools you are letting go. It will give an idea to other parents about Waitlist movement.

6_ Request to moderators and knowledgeable parents to update the forum with rules and process of withdrawal so that parents feel financial security while blocking a seat. For example, St. Cecilia has a very parent-friendly withdrawal criteria (they deduct just 200 Rs if you withdraw by 17th). If fee refunds are easy that may take off some pressure.

7_ Lastly, do not let any of this get to your child. Your tension should not reflect on your child. Every day I see my child innocently playing, totally unaware of our efforts and apprehensions (a way to realise what your parents have done for you once). May be we can learn from them and let go by being in the present for awhile!

I repeat, do not get into the psychosis of it all. We can not ascertain the reason or "luck" behind everything. As a community we can help each other in such dire times.

Best Regards.

Dear Parents

I completely support what Mr. Nagpal is saying. I have two kids and I am also seeking admission for my second child. But I have faith that my child will not remain uneducated. He/She will get what he/she deserves the best. You can always look out for option B, C, D's there would be like continuing in the play group your child is already going. Also there are withdrawals till May so do not lose heart at all. All the best to all of you and Success awaits All of You!

Thanks and Regards
