Nursery Admissions in Delhi NCR 2025-26

OPEN LETTER TO MR. VOHRA & AN Team

Thank you so much for highlighting various issues around the nursery admission guidelines.

Specific to Transfer Cases, i would like to let you know that we (about a dozen parents) met with the Director DOE today, and in the LG office yesterday. At both places, our Point of View on the Transfer Cases being completely unjustified and discriminatory has been fully understood, and appreciated. The authorities have seen 100% merit in our plea on that point and have assured that they will take it up for active reconsideration.

Our humble request to you now is that in every media interaction you have on the topic, please please support us on FULL REMOVAL of Transfer Points (Reason being that TC cases are applying with location points and there is NO reason why they should have those 5 points) and a Re-Draw of All eligible candidates (with new point totals).

We absolutely want to avoid any digression of the discussion towards "Proper Verification Guidelines", or "NCR/ Non-NCR" topics...our plea has a very strong case and there is a very very good chance of it being accepted if we all stakeholders keep the pressure on.

As a suggestion we have also requested the department to shift those 5 points to First Child, OR to restrict the transfer cases to 5% quota (instead of 5 Points) incase they see merit in that as measure for this year.

Finally, we have also made a point that the amount of effort (for a Re-draw only, as no new application process is required for the above) and time that will be required to make the above requested changes, and to execute on them in the schools will be a matter of very few days, but the benefit of providing this fair opportunity to all parents will be huge!

Your help through the media will be very highly appreciated.

Regards,

Rahul

Dear Sumit

Excellent effort on getting media attention through NDTV/Aajtak on transfer point issue. In our country, media is the best propagator. Lets hope LG listens it to the parents concern through the media.

Nursery admissions: Transfer points a headache for parents

THE DIRECTORATE OF EDUCATION HAS ISSUED AN ORDER, ASKING ALL SCHOOLS TO CHECK ALL TRANSFER DOCUMENTS THOROUGHLY

NEW DELHI: Transfer points in nursery admissions have become the main point of contention this year and as per the data posted on schools’ websites, rightly so.

On analysing the names of students selected for lottery or for the final list, it has been revealed that in some schools close to 90% of the children who have made it are transfer cases while in others the numbers is between 25% and 30%.

As per DPS Dwarka’s website, of the 130 seats in the general category, 116 were to be filled by children who were eligible for transfer points. That makes for about 90% of the seats.

In schools such as Heritage School, Vasant Kunj, this number is around 70%. In Ahlcon International School, the figure was 31%.

Under the new guidelines, parents who have proof of having been transferred to the city are eligible for 5 inter-state transfer points. These points have become contentious this year with the number of applications under this category having increased exponentially as compared to the previous years. In a number of cases, these points are being availed by parents who are working in the NCR and have produced transfer certificates.

Till last year, schools saw only a couple of cases of transfer and were asked to accommodate such students on a priority.

“I don’t understand why we have transfer points in the first place. These should apply midsession and not at the beginning when every parent is at an equal footing,” said an infuriated parent who did not wish to be named.

The Directorate of Education has issued a directive, asking all schools to check all transfer documents thoroughly and to maintain proper documents. No cap on the number of admissions has, however, been announced.

“Transfer points are totally unjustified. They allow a child to secure a seat in a number of schools and have 20 times the probability of blocking a seat in all school within the 8-km radius. This has barred Delhi children with 70 points from a fair chance at admission,” said Sumit Vohra of admissionnursery.com, a portal for parents.

He, along with other, parents collated the data for 12 schools.

Dear Sir

Very true. Well said about the consequences behind the transfer points. I am very hopeful that LG will look into this matter since nobody expected that transfer point will turn out into a nightmare when the guidelines were released.

We know how much effort you have taken the day 1 of first list was out. I greatly appreciate the way you are fighting for a transparent system.
