RTE guidelines to be noted: Parents educational qualifications are not considered since it is against RTE Act since any type of screening procedure of the parents and child should not be done. Capitation fees during admission also banned. “Section 13 (1) No school or person shall, while admitting a child, collect any capitation fee and subject the child or his or her parents or guardian to any screening procedure. (2) Any school or person, if in contravention of the provision of subsection (1)(a) receives capitation fee, shall be punishable with fine which may extend to ten times the capitation fee charged; (b) subjects a child to screening procedure, shall be punishable with fine which may extend to twenty-five thousand rupees for the first contravention and fifty thousand rupees for each subsequent contraventions.” Your kind attention is also invited to Section 2(o) of the RTE Act, 2009 which is reproduced as under: Section 2(o) “screening procedure” means the method of selection for admission of a child, in preference over another, other than a random method; From the mere reading of the aforementioned provisions of the RTE Act, 2009, it is abundantly clear that no school can subject a student to any screening procedure (which includes admission test) for his/her admission in classes I to VIII. 

SO NO INTERVIEWS.
