TOI 7 Aug ~Gurugram: Relief for parents as some schools give time to choose nursery seat

GURUGRAM: It’s a month since admissions for nursery classes at private schools began, and as always, parents are confused about dates and withdrawals. However, help is at hand. This year, several schools are working to make the process simpler.

“This year, some schools have come together to allow parents of applicants who get chosen to multiple schools, a week’s time to make up their minds about which school to admit their ward once the list is out, and which schools to withdraw their names from,” said Rashmi Malik, principal of Salwan Public School.

Euro schools has come out with one form for all their five branches in the city. Nidhi Kapoor, principal, Euro International School, Sector 10, said, “There are five Euro schools in Gurugram. We’re offering parents the option to buy forms for all from any of the branches.”

At Ajanta Public School, parents can apply and pay online. “We didn’t want to hassle parents with the admission process, so we put everything online. Parents can pay online, and ones whose wards get selected, will get an email,” said Vaibhav Kapoor, principal, Ajanta Public School.

Mount Olympus is giving parents a month to decide if they want to admit their wards to the school. Neeti Kaushik, principal, Mount Olympus School, said, “We’ve given parents a month’s time from Monday to decide whether they want to get admitted here or not. After this time, we’ll release our list of selected candidates.”

Much more can be done from next year, said principal Deepika Sharma, principal, DPSG Palam Vihar. “We could have a single date for the launch of the admissions process at all schools. This alone will simplify it to a great degree.”

The education department claimed they have no say in the matter. District elementary education officer Prem Lata Yadav said, “There are no rules for nursery admissions at private schools in Haryana. These schools have the liberty to set their own criteria. There’s no centralised form for nursery admissions. Rules are there only from Class 1.”

For some schools, the nursery admissions process will start in a month’s time. Parents themselves are confused about dates. Most of them were caught unawares when it began. Sushma Sharma, who wants to get her son admitted to nursery class this year, said, “I only realised the admission process for some major schools has started through social media. It’s not like in Delhi, where admissions start simultaneously.”

Praveen Yadav, who also wants to admit his daughter to nursery, said, “I only searched online for nursery admissions. I had no clue it had already started in some schools. They should at least have an unified admission date.”

“There is no consolidated nursery admissions in the city. Gurugram needs a regulatory body to look after admissions, like in Delhi. Few parents know when schools will start admissions,” said Sumit Vohra, founder, admisssionsnursery.com.

Even the age criteria for Nursery admissions is different from other regions in NCR. All the other regions admit 3+ as on 31st March but in Gurgaon it is 3.6+. The kid has to compromise a year if he/she is living in Gurgaon compared to other cities/ NCR region.
