Schools to hold a fresh draw of lots based on ‘95 points’ system
Written by Shikha Sharma | New Delhi | February 28, 2014 1:16 am
Fresh draw of lots will now be conducted in all schools.
The Department of Education (DoE) has amended the nursery admission guidelines by reworking the point allocation system and released a new admission schedule for this academic session.
This comes in the wake of the department receiving numerous complaints about parents misusing the interstate transfer points.
With the deletion of interstate transfer points (5 points), admission to schools will now take place on a 95 points system — “the points determined only as per neighbourhood, sibling studying in school and parent alumni of school criteria”, a notification by the DoE stated.
Schools will also have to modify the first list of selected candidates, by vacating seats given to interstate transfer applicants. Children already selected based on neighbourhood, sibling and alumni criteria will retain their seats. Those children with 70 points who were selected in the draw of lots will also retain their seats.
“If a school has already conducted draw of lots for applicants with 70 points, the draw shall remain valid for selected/confirmed candidates only. Fresh draw of lots will be held for remaining applicants, who have 70 points, including wait-listed applicants and those applicants who were securing 75 points because of the interstate transfer points category case,” states the order.
Fresh draw of lots will now be conducted in all schools.
In the previous system, of a total of 100 points, 70 are given to children living in the neighbourhood of the school, 20 if the applicant’s sibling studies in the same school and five points each if either parent is an alumnus and if it is an interstate transfer case.
Only those having 75 points out of 100 were considered for the draw of lots while those having 90 points were automatically admitted.
Instead of February 28, the first list of selected candidates, including those belonging to the economically weaker section and disadvantaged group, has been extended to March 15.
The date of display of second list, if any, will be March 20. The date of display of subsequent lists , if any will be from March 21 to March 31, 2014. The admission process will close on March 31.
“Parents have really appreciated the changes made. But parents of those children, who were genuine interstate transfer cases, are now contemplating legal recourse,” Sumit Vohra, founder of admissionsnursery.com, a portal representing the parent community in Delhi, said.

Suresh, please tell me why there should be any weightage to genuine transfer cases at all. This makes no sense at all. Sibling points are must but alumni should also be scrapped but there was no challenges in the court on this further this cannot be a fake case so it was retained as usual... But 5points to transfer case make no sense because admission is for entry level...

Even if Transfer cases are genuine, why should they get additional 5 points ???
Transferred parents can obviously apply to schools that fall within their neighbourhood criteria, just like other 'normal case' parents. If the school wishes to see their domiciliary status, then migrated parents can show their transfer orders. And that should settle the matter. Why grant extra points that could infuse a 'bias' among the applicants ?

I don't think I ever wanted the extra transfer point but it was under DOE guideline and so we applied under that.When it was scrapped also I didn't mind but a partial redraw is a BIG injustice to all the kids who had genuine transfer case. This is sheer nonsense!!There should be a complete redraw for general category if goodwill and fairness is what all parents want.

i agree although i dont belong to this category. the children who obtained 75 marks earlier due to transfer points should be given the chance in a draw for all seats of 70 marks, not only for the seats vacated by them.

i also agree with Mr. Suresh this is total unjustice .

I completey agree with you. Now you have lesser probability as some seats have already been booked by 70 pointers. This is INJUSTICE. Everyone should get fair chance so lottery should happen fresh among all 70 pointers.

totally agreed.. no one went legal or sat on dharna to get the transfer point included in the criteria in first place, it was doe's guideline under which we had applied.
if the transfer points are removed, OK.. But why is DOE penalizing the 75 pointers by going for only partial redraw. It should be complete redraw ( except ews). Otherwise its gross injustice for 75 pointers who will now compete in less seats, just because of ping pong played by DOE.

If we go by what Mr Shiladitya is saying why should there even be any point for Alumni or Sibling for that matter
