NEW DELHI: School associations may be going to court over the nursery admission guidelines and the first day for the sale of forms may be more than a week away but schools have already started to mislead parents on their websites.
VSPK International School in Rohini, for instance, is giving 30 points for neighbourhood children, 20 points for a girl child, and 10 points for references. A copy of the document, uploaded on the school’s website is with the Hindustan Times.
On Wednesday evening, a prominent Dwarka school, on its website, informed parents that it would give students staggered points for the distance criteria. For example, the school said it would give 70 points to those living within a three kilometer radius and lesser to those living further away.
After the criteria were highlighted in an online portal AdmissionsNursery.com, the school took down the announcement and replaced it with the guidelines issued by the government which say that all students who live within an 8 kilometer radius will get 70 points.
Some schools such as the Prabhu Dayal Public School in Shalimar Bagh, have mentioned that they will give preference to those students who live closeby. They have also decided to give points for interschool transfer instead of an interstate transfer.
The nursery admission guidelines had clearly mentioned that no school will be allowed to stray from the guidelines issued by them.
Education minister Manish Sisodia reiterated that all schools will have to follow the rules and action will be taken against those that do notSurpassing the new nursery admission guidelines for 2014-15 approved by Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung, some schools in the Capital have come up with their own rules for admission with absolutely different parameters and point allocation.
In violation of the fixed-point system as instructed by the Directorate of Education, a school in Rohini has displayed on its website a completely different criteria chart for nursery admissions in the coming session.
VSPK International School, Rohini, on its website has displayed the points allotted to various parameters, in violation of the guidelines. While the DoE directed 70 points to the neighbourhood parameter, the school has allocated 30 points for the same.
The school has allotted bizarre points to other parameters also in violation of the issued guidelines. “These schools are completely ignoring the guidelines and a strict action must be taken against them. It’s shocking to see such non-abidance on the part of a few schools which are going against the standard rules,” said Sumit Vohra, Founder of Admissionsnursery.com.
The VSPK International on its website has allotted 30 points to neighbourhood, 20 to siblings, 15 points to boy child, 20 points to girl, 10 points each to alumni/single parent, transfer cases and single child. This measure by the school flouts the recently-issued guidelines by the DoE which have allotted 70 points to neighbourhood, 20 points to siblings, and five points each to alumni and inter-state transfer cases. The school authorities were not available for comment.
Recently, BGS International School in Dwarka had also made changes in the criteria for admission. Flouting the guidelines which directed 70 points to children living within 8 kilometers from the school, BGS extended the limit to 15 kilometers. “BGS School had wrongly extended the neighbourhood distance to 15 kilometers and decided that children between 6-8 kilometers would be given 50 points, and the points will be given like this till 15 kilometers. However, they fell in line after we pursued this matter and pointed it out to them,” said activist Vohra.

As Mr.Vohra has insisted DOE should give clear definition regarding Alumni and Transfer 'points and instruct all schools to strictly abide by the DOE guidelines.
Schools have also moved to the high court so let us see what will be the outcome. In my opinion, some relief will be given to the schools by the high court but can't speculate.
Keep your finger crossed till the next week!!!

What relief, pls elaborate.
Mr.Vohra as a one man army takes pitch by storm in last 3 days taking great effort for a transparent system in schools by leaving no stone unturned. After effects has made all 3 schools to change the admission criteria in line with DOE guidelines.
I agree Lathaaji
Bal Bhavan International School Dwarka has also segregated the distance points as 70(0-1km), 50(1-4km) and 30(4-8km). Can someone pls look into this.
Mr.Vohra will take swift action. Thanks for pointing out.
