Sumit Vohra, who runs the site, said a large number of parents living on rent have not been able to apply at some schools because the government list of acceptable documents as residence proof doesn't include the rent agreement. The upper age limit-also introduced this year-also spelt trouble for parents with slightly older kids as there are very few seats in KG (pre-primary). As one parent said, "I need to know which school takes children in KG as my daughter is 4.3 years and no school is ready to take our application."

Many NGOs and activists like Sumit Vohra had written to Education Minister Manish Sisodia to extend the deadline to give more time to parents to familiarise themself with the online system. The first list for both the categories will be out on February 15, followed by another on February 29.

“Parents are in utter confusion and even as of today they are not aware where they stand. This type of uncertainty was not seen before even if court cases were going on. To avoid the same scenario next year, the government should amend the 1973 DSER Act and remove management quota,” said education activist Sumit Vohra.

“Moreover, a lot of schools have misused their autonomy, so it should focus on upgrading government schools and improving their quality,” Vohra said.
