Nursery Admissions Lottery Circus-Sumit Vohra | No-win situation for parents still-Pioneer

No-win situation for parents still

Despite all the possible amendments in the nursery admission guidelines and instructions by the Directorate of Education, some schools in the Capital are continuing to exploit the parents.

After the Delhi High Court accepted the DoE’s measure to scrap transfer points and redo the draw of lots in all schools, parents are complaining that they are losing out on the chance as the schools are secretly holding the draw.

Complaining against the Rosary Church School, Kingsway Camp, one of the parents said they were not informed about the draw of the lots and ended up missing it. “We didn’t get any message from the school about the date and time of the draw and hence were not present there. When we went for the enquiry, we were told the authorities had shut the doors of the school early during the day,” said Vivek, a parent, on the behalf other parents residing in Mukherjee Nagar. “I had 70 points for my child as a neighbourhood benefit and hence, we were a part of the draw of lot selection but they never informed us,” he added. Just like Vivek, there are several other parents who are furious about the erring schools.

“I had applied to 20 schools and could not secure a single seat anywhere so far. I was pinning all hopes on Rosary Church School but it conducted the draw without informing us. God knows on what basis parents were invited,” said Reetika, a parent.

“We have received a lot of complaints that in many schools parents were not informed. It has become a circus this time and parents are at the receiving end,” said Sumit Vohra, founder of admissionsnursery.com, in unison with the parents.

However, sources from the school said that they had notified about the schedule of draw of lots on their website so that every parent could check the status.

Imagine Scenario1, presented in court

Open seats after Siblings + Alumni	100
Applicants	1000
Tfr cases	10
Original 70 Pointers	90
Chances in First draw	90 / (1000-10)	9.09%
Chances in Second draw	10 / (1000-90+10)	1.09%

Tfr pointers only got 1.09% chance of a seat.

While majority of 70 pointers got two chances 9.09% + 1.09% = 10.18%

Now imagine scenario 2, by reversing the the tfr and 70 pointers numbers

Open seats after Siblings + Alumni	100
Applicants	1000
Tfr cases	90
Original 70 Pointers	10
Chances in First draw	10 / (1000-90)	1.10%
Chances in Second draw	90 / (1000-10+90)	8.33%

Now Tfr pointers got 8.33% chance of a seat.

Majority of 70 pointers got two chances 1.10% + 8.33 % = 9.43%.

The difference is small (just 1.10%) but this can not be ignored considering the situation, every single % point counts.

Genuine Tfr pointers did nothing wrong. Govt gave them the points, and then they were scrapped. Why penalize genuine Tfr pointers for Govt's mistakes.

I think this is where the honorable HC saw merit in this plea. So, this may be hard on 70 pointers selected in first/second draw. Remember, Tfr 75 pointers also lost their confirmed seats.

As said by the court, inconvenience can not be the reason for injustice.
