Topic: The Hogwartses of our times | Hindustan Times | HT-C C Fore Top School survey split Delhi into six zones - Central, East, West, North, South-East and South-West.: in in many schools in December and January, parents are looking across a wide variety of schools in Delhi to find that perfect fit for their child's needs. Choosing a school, of course, is one of the most important decisions parents will make for their child. Keeping this in mind, Hindustan Times, along with knowledge partner C fore, has attemptedto provide an evaluation of schools in Delhi, based on various parameters - sports, academics, infrastructure, individual attention to students, value-based education etc. For this purpose, the 2011 HT-C fore Top School survey split Delhi into six zones - Central, East, West, North, South-East and South-West. Familiar names such as The Shriram School, Vasant Vihar; Delhi Public School, RK Puram; Modern School, Barakhamba road make it to the top 10 in their respective zones, as one would expect. This year's results also threw up some new names compared to the 2010 survey- more so in some zones than others. For example, the top 10 list of schools in West Delhi saw Mira Model school, Janakpuri and NK Bagrodia school, Dwarka dropping out of the top 10. Taking their place in the top 10 are Indraprastha International school, Dwarka and NC Jindal school, West Punjabi Bagh. Similarly, in the South-West zone, Air Force Golden Jubilee, Subroto Park and Ryan International School, Vasant Kunj have faced the cull from the top 10, with St. Mary's School, Safdarjung enclave making it in the list for the first time. In the South-East zone, KR Mangalam is out, with Tagore International School, East of Kailash gaining a top 10 slot. With a disparate choice of schools, parents look for a good academic record, excellent infrastructure, trained teachers- as well as a good brand. How important is the latter in picking a school today? Brand conscious Brand may not be the only factor in determining a parent's choice of school, but it certainly plays a part. It is a reality that schools recognise. Names such as DPS, Modern, Salwan, with their proven systems of education, have an additional value in the minds of parents. And they are conscious of this value when they pay. "If you want the parents to put their child, and their trust, in your school, you must have a good brand," said Kiran Mehta,principal, Salwan Public School, Mayur Vihar Phase III. Getting a brand name is not easy, and schools that acquire a brand name recognise that it comes with its trappings. Maintaining the standards- attention to students, activities, infrastructure - are all a constant endeavour of these schools. "To reach the top is easy, to stay there is very difficult" said M.I Hussain, principal, DPS Mathura Road. "There is no blind following. Schools must deliver quality, value, worth." Students agree. "It is a matter of prestige for us, studying in a DPS. The school sets certain high standards. I would say that being a Dipsite gives us an edge, in caps lock!" said Iqra Meraj, a student at DPS Mathura Road. Race for 100% In the dog-eat-dog world of college admissions, the past year saw cut-offs bordering on the ridiculous. Parents' concern for the future of their children translates into undue pressure on them during exam time. How are schools preparing their students for a world where good academic achievement may yet result in disappointment? "We are concerned about this trend. Children get disillusioned despite good performances. It is leading to the trend of studying at foreign universities," said Sunita Tanwar, principal, DPS Dwarka. Schools, for one, are helping their students think of the diverse options they have and are training them to pursue them as careers. The pressure for marks has reduced with the introduction of the grading system in Class 10, but this needs to be forward integrated with class 12 and university admissions. "Everybody can't be in IIT or AIIMS, and we train them that way. Knowledge and learning is more important," said Mehta. "The focus is on good all-round performance, so that students have a wide scope to choose from after Class 12," she added. Editor's note: This time it's different Dear Readers, It's time for us to roll out the Top School survey that you have been eagerly waiting for. This time, however, we are making a departure from the past. While the methodology of the survey remains the same as it was last year, the results are being presented with a difference. We are not publishing individual scores and ranks for schools. Instead, we are naming the schools that have made it to the list of top 10, in an alphabetical order that has no correlation with individual ranks. Our decision to do so is based on the response the past editions of the Top School survey received from readers and other stakeholders. While many readers feel the ratings offer a helpful guide to parents seeking nursery admissions for their children, there have been strong suggestions to explore alternative ways to achieve the same objective. We are trying to do just that in the 2011 edition of the Top School survey. Instead of individual ranks and scores, we are highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of individual schools. Do send us your feedback on the new format. It will help us fine-tune the future editions of the survey. Thank you.

Topic: SC case leaves parents worried- TOI / HT /HINDU/ ASIAN AGE /PIONEER/ MAIL TODAY/ DECCAN HERALD / NBT/ HINDUSTAN /JAGRAN / AMAR UJALA N MORE: to delay nursery admissions did little to deter the schools but has left parents confused. They are wondering what yet another court case-likely to be heard by the Supreme Court after the process has started-will mean for them. "If we go for admissions and put our money, effort and time and the court puts a stop to them, what is the guarantee the money will be refunded? What is the validity of admissions happening now onwards till January 5?" asks a parent on admissionsnursery.com. "This is a pathetic situation for the parents' community," says Sumit Vohra who runs admissionsnursery.com, "If they pay and there is a stay, all their time, effort, and perhaps even money, would've been spent for nothing. Moreover, the differing schedules mean they'll have to plan for leave in advance." "The admissions starting on different dates at different schools is a real pain. One has to check the website day and night to keep track of the admission process," says a parent. Tracking developments will be harder still for EWS applicants as internet access is almost a must. Parents of twins are also a worried bunch. "I have twin daughters and they are my first babies. So in this case, can we get the benefit of first-child?" asks a parent. The other point of contention is age limit. Some schools have chosen to impose an upper-age limit-the Delhi School Education Advisory Board had attempted to fix it in 2012 and 2013 before deciding against it-and that is disturbing for parents who were unable to secure seats for their kids in last year's nursery debacle. THE HINDU DoE puts nursery admissions on hold, to move SC The Delhi Government’s Directorate of Education (DoE) has decided to move the Supreme Court to appeal against the High Court’s verdict on nursery admission guidelines. The government body has directed the schools to put nursery admissions on hold till the hearing on January 5. Most of the city schools have, however, decided to start the admission procedure from Saturday and have refused to abide by the DoE's instructions. This has left the parents in a fix as to whether they should apply for admissions or wait for the SC verdict. The High Court had on November 28 quashed the points system issued by the Lieutenant Governor and permitted schools to form their own guidelines for nursery admission this season. On Friday, a notice was sent by the advocate of the Directorate of Education (DoE) to Action Committee for Unaided Recognized Private Schools as per which the private schools were asked not to initiate or go ahead with the admission process for the academic session 2015-16 till Supreme Court's verdict on the same is out. When asked about the implications of the notice, Sumit Vohra of admissionsnursery.com said, “If the Supreme Court decides to put a stay order on the High Court’s verdict, the admissions which would take place during this period from tomorrow will be considered null and void.” “However, the other thing which might happen is that the Supreme Court may ask both DoE and the schools to follow last years LG guidelines. Also, the Court can reject the DoE's application in case of which the admissions will continue on the basis of guidelines formed by individual schools,” said Mr. Vohra. MAIL TODAY The Pioneer - Parents do not have a ‘creche’ on nursery! Adding to the stress of parents for the second consecutive year, there is complete confusion regarding nursery admissions among them. With DoE approaching Supreme Court and schools starting admissions as per their schedule, parents don’t know if they should apply or wait. According to most parents, if the Supreme Court puts a stay on the interim order by the High Court, their money and time would be wasted. “If we go for admissions and we put our money, effort and time and if a stay is put on the High Court verdict then what is the guarantee the money will be refunded? What is the validity of admissions happening now onwards till January 5. We don’t know these basic details. Applying to so many schools means a lot of money is being spent. It’s not a joke,” said Amrita a parent. Most parents apply to nearly 20 to 25 schools for their kids as they aren’t sure where they would fit the criteria. Thus, for parents this uncertainty means draining of resources. “I am applying for 30-35 schools, even though I am getting sibling points for my child in one. However, I can’t take any risk. In 2012 I applied for my daughter in around 35 schools and got her name selected in just one. Now the point is if I have to keep applying and reapplying again and again, where will resources come from?” asked Ramesh Shankar, another parent from East Delhi. Meanwhile, founder of admissionsnursery.coM Sumit Vohra called this a “catch-22 situation” for parents. “If they fill the forms and a stay order is given by Supreme Court then all the money, time and resources along with deposit of admission fees which some schools ask for before will go down the drain. And if they don’t apply now and the appeal in SC is rejected they will miss out all the admissions. The big question is will schools stop the admissions as the advisory/notice has not been served by DoE directly to schools but by a lawyer representing schools. It’s really a pathetic situation for all the parents,” said Vohra. However, many schools in the Capital are still going ahead with the admission procedure. Ameeta Mulla Wattal, principal of Springdales School said, “We were given a go-ahead by the High Court and we will go ahead with the admissions on Saturday. Hindustan Times 20 Dec - Directorate of education orders schools not to start admissions till matter is heard in Supreme Court MANY SCHOOLS, INCLUDING SPRINGDALES AND KR MANGALAM WORLD SCHOOL, PLAN TO START THEIR ADMISSION PROCESS FROM SATURDAY “The situation is very bad this time around and no one knows what is going on. Parents are a confused lot,” said Sumit Vohra, founder, admissionnursery.com. From page 01 NEW DELHI: The Directorate of Education (DOE) and private schools seem to be headed for a face-off as the institutes have decided to go ahead with nursery admissions despite the government asking them to hold the process till the matter is heard in Supreme Court. A number of schools plan to start their admission process from Saturday. The list includes Springdales School, Indian School and KR Mangalam World School among others. The directorate wrote to the schools on Thursday. “As the honourable Supreme Court is on vacation till January 5, 2015, and the matter will come up for hearing after the winter vacations, it is, hereby, informed that the private recognized schools may not initiate and may not go ahead with the admission process in the entry level classes for the academic session 2015-16 till the matter is decided by the Supreme Court so as not to prejudice the outcome of said special leave petition,” the letter states. The schools countered. “The matter was decided by the single bench in the high court as well as the division bench. The directorate did not get any relief from either of these. We were allowed to go ahead with our process. This note that the directorate has sent actually tantamounts to contempt of court. Why should be stop? It is just because they have decided to appeal the high court decision? This is not acceptable to us,” said SK Bhattacharya, president, action committee. Other schools too have decided to go ahead with their plans. It is, however, the parents who are having a tough time. “A number of parents have contacted us. They just want a common schedule so that they don’t have to run around,” said Virender Singh, president, Jagrook Parents Association. Others predict that this admission season will be worse than last year’s. Last year, the sale of forms had started on January 15. In the last five years, schools have not started their admission process this early. ‘I don’t understand what is their hurry? For the past so many years, the admission process has started in the first week of January. Why are schools creating a panic this time around? The school session will start only in April,” said Khagesh Jha, member, social jurist, an NGO that filed a petition against schools setting their own nursery admission guidelines # NurseryAdmissions Deccan herald 20 Dec-Sumit Vohra, founder of admissionsnursery.com, said parents are the worst sufferers. “If parents fill forms and the apex court puts a stay on the admissions, their money, time and resources will go down the drain. And all the admissions that will take place starting tomorrow will be considered null and void,” Vohra said.“It’s really a pathetic situation for parents. Moreover, no school has kept any point for twins,” he added.http://www.deccanherald.com/content/448756/doe-move-supreme-court-over.html NBT TIPS FOR PARENTS …; Added by Sakshi (Moderator) at 11:07am on December 20, 2014

Topic: As promised by our founder | the erring school have been highlighted in 8 leading newspapers: dmission forms at high prices and asking details of the educational qualifications and income of parents. This is clearly a violation of guidelines laid down by the Directorate of Education (DOE). According to DoE, each form should cost only Rs 25, and schools cannot ask parents’ income and educational qualifications. “Some schools forcibly ask us to buy prospectus with attached forms at very high rates. When I asked the authorities to give me just the form, they refused, saying it is compulsory to buy the form with the prospectus,” said Shivani Gupta, who bought a prospectus-cum-form for Rs 200 from Rukmini Devi School, Rohini. However, an official of Rukmini Devi School claimed that schools have “discretionary powers”. Similarly, reports of forms being sold at higher prices came from KR Mangalam School, Indian School, Lancer Convent Play School and Venketeshwara International School — each costs Rs 500. Maxfort School sold forms for Rs 300 and Birla Vidya Niketan for Rs 350. V R ONE founder Sumit Vohra said similar violations also happened last year. V R ONE is an online forum for parents seeking nursery admission for their children. “Every year the DoE says that action will be taken against schools that sell forms at higher rates. But schools still do it and go scot-free. They earn a huge profit from it. Parents are humiliated if they refuse to pay such high amount,” Vohra said. While the high prices of forms was a dampener for parents, the schools also flouted DoE guidelines as the forms included income and educational qualification for screening children. “This is discriminatory. Screening children as per their parents' income is unfair. Such acts makes it so evident that big schools are averse to the idea of giving a chance to an average middle class student,” said homemaker Shikha Arora, who brought a form from Springdales School. This school asked for income and educational qualification of both parents. The principal of Springdales School couldn't be contacted despite repeated attempts by Deccan Herald. According to parents, schools such as Convent of Jesus and Mary, J D Tytler School, Mater Die School, Happy School and Salwan Public School have also included income and educational qualification slots in their forms. “If needed, schools can ask income and educational details of parents after the admission. Asking for such details before the admission leads to indirect screening,” added Vohra. Other violations of the guidelines also came to light. Schools stopped the sale of admission forms on the first day itself. The forms should be available in schools from January 2 to January 16. “Rukmini Devi School in Pitampura started selling forms since July. They closed the sale of admission forms on Monday. Parents were directed to another branch to buy forms, but they were unavailable. The authorities said the sale of forms have been closed,” said Advocate Khagesh Jha, member of Social Jurist, an organisation working for the upliftment of the underprivileged DAINIK BHASKAR 12 स्कूलों ने उड़ाईं नियमों की धज्जियां कड़े आदेशों के बावजूद 150 से 500 रुपए तक में बेचे प्रोस्पेक्ट्स, अभिभावकों के पेशे व शैक्षणिक योग्यता का भी ले रहे हंै ब्यौरा। भास्कर न्यूज त्ननई दिल्ली शिक्षा निदेशालय के स्पष्ट दिशा-निर्देशों के बावजूद बीते सालों की तरह इस बार भी नर्सरी दाखिला प्रक्रिया शुरू होते ही स्कूलों की मनमानियां शुरू हो गई हैं। नर्सरी दाखिले की दौड़ में पहले ही दिन 12 ऐसे स्कूलों के नाम सामने आए हंै, जिन्होंने निदेशालय के दिशा-निर्देशों का उल्लंघन करते हुए 150 से लेकर 500 रुपए में अभिभावकों को फॉर्म के साथ जबरन प्रोस्पेक्ट्स थोपने का काम अंजाम दिया। इतना ही नहीं, स्क्रीनिंग की मनाही के बावजूद स्कूल अभिभावकों का प्रोफेशन व शैक्षणिक योग्यता पूछने से भी बाज नहीं आ रहे हैं। शिक्षा निदेशालय की ओर से निर्धारित व्यवस्था के तहत जहां गरीब कोटे के आवेदकों को फॉर्म मुफ्त मुहैया कराना जरूरी है, वहीं सामान्य श्रेणी के आवेदकों के लिए इसकी कीमत 25 रुपए निर्धारित है। इसके अलावा, आवेदकों को जबरन प्रोसपेक्ट्स खरीदने के लिए स्कूल बाध्य नहीं कर सकते हंै। एडमिशन नर्सरी डॉट कॉम के संस्थापक सुमित वोहरा बताते हंै कि निदेशालय की लाख कोशिशों के बावजूद बीते सालों की तरह इस बार भी पब्लिक स्कूल अभिभावकों को प्रोस्पेक्ट्स के साथ फॉर्म उपलब्ध कराकर अच्छी खासी रकम वसूल रहे हैं। इससे साफ है कि उन्हें कार्रवाई का कोई डर नहीं है। स्कूलों की ज्यादती से परेशान अभिभावकों का आरोप है कि माउंट कार्मल (आनंद निकेतन) में 150 रुपए, आरडी राजपाल (द्वारका) में 500 रुपए, इंद्रप्रस्थ स्कूल (द्वारका) में 500 रुपए, वीआईएस (द्वारका) में 500 रुपए, मैक्स फोर्ट (पीतमपुरा) में 400 रुपए, सेंट फ्रांसेस डीसेल्स (जनक पुरी) में 225 रुपए, हंसराज मॉडल स्कूल (पंजाबी बाग) में 200 रुपए, रुकमणि देवी पब्लिक स्कूल (रोहिणी) में 200 रुपए, लांसर कांवेंट (प्रशांत विहार) में 500 रुपए, एलकॉन पब्लिक स्कूल (मयूर विहार) में 150 रुपए, फैथ अकेडमी (प्रसाद नगर) में 200 रुपए व जीडी गोयनका (मॉडल टॉउन) में 200 रुपए का भुगतान आवेदन फॉर्म के लिए करना पड़ रहा है। अभिभावकों का कहना है कि बिना प्रोसपेक्ट़्स के आवेदन फॉर्म नहीं मिल रहा है, जिसके चलते मजबूरी में उन्हें इतना महंगा प्रोस्पेक्ट्स भी खरीदना पड़ रहा है। इसके अलावा, राजधानी के पब्लिक स्कूलों पर अभिभावक स्क्रीनिंग का भी आरोप लगा रहे हंै। कई स्कूल तो अभिभावकों से जानकारी के नाम पर उनका पेशा, आमदनी व शैक्षणिक योग्यता का ब्यौरा मांग रहे हैं। पूसा रोड स्थित स्प्रिंगडेल्स स्कूल की बात करें तो यहां भी अभिभावकों से आवेदन प्रक्रिया के तहत शैक्षणिक योग्यता व प्रोफेशन की जानकारी मांगी जा रही है। हालांकि, स्कूल इसके पीछे किसी तरह की स्क्रीनिंग नहीं, बल्कि अपने रिकॉर्ड की अनिवार्यता को जिम्मेदार करार दे रहा है। इसी तरह, गरीब कोटे की बात करें तो शिक्षा निदेशक की ओर से जारी फरमान के बावजूद घर से दूरी के नाम पर इस श्रेणी में भेदभाव जारी है। शालीमार बाग स्थित गुडले पब्लिक स्कूल ने तो इस श्रेणी के तहत भी स्कूल से तीन किलोमीटर तक की दूरी पर रहने वाले छात्रों को 100 में से 90 प्वाइंट देने की घोषणा कर दी है, जबकि शिक्षा निदेशक का आदेश है कि घर से दूरी के नाम गरीब कोटे में आवेदन नहीं कराए जाएं और भी छात्र आए उसे मौका दिया जाए। Hindustan Times Dated 3 dec DAY 1 Parents across Delhi start to line up early morning; many say schools seeking their professional info Though I'll get points just for neighbourhood, I don't want to lose out for lack of trying.

Standing in queue since 7am to secure a nursery admission form for his boss's child, Kumar finally managed to lay his hands on one at 11.30am. “The arrangement at the school was adequate, but the queue was long. I waited for four hours,“ he said. Day 1 of the sale of nursery forms saw parents across Delhi either queued up outside schools or making arrangements to get forms collected. At Springdales, Pusa Road and Kirti Nagar, 1,100 and 600 forms for the general category were sold on Monday respectively, while 250 EWS forms were sold. At Tagore International, Vasant Vihar, 370 forms were sold. Alchon International School sold 450 forms. “The long queues are a big disappointment as I qualify only under neighbourhood points,“ said Mahima Pandey, a resident of Rajender Nagar, who has applied at Springdales, Pusa Road for her son. Most schools also have the option to apply online and were giving out forms only for EWS category. “I went to Raghubir Singh Modern School but was told that registrations are online. I wish such information was prominently available on the school website,“ said Anoop Mittal from South Extension II. The first day of the sale of forms also saw many complaints from parents and observers. At Springdales, an objection to the section that demanded information about parents' profession and educational qualifications was raised. According to Delhi government norms, schools cannot ask for such information. “We have clearly mentioned in our forms that the information will not be used to determine who gets the information. This is only for our database,“ said Jyoti Bose, principal, Springdales, Dhaula Kuan. Some other schools, such as Bal Bharati, Pitampura, also asked for parents' PAN and profession in their online form (a copy of the form is with HT).< Despite repeated attempts, the school principal could not be contacted.NEWS COURTESY LATHAA MANAVALAN OF ADMISSIONSNURSERY.COM “Asking for information about parents' educational qualification and profession is unfair. If the school knows the educational and professional background of parents, how can one be sure the process will be transparent,“ said Ashok Aggarwal of the NGO Social Jurist.

Confusion prevailed over the point system and age criteria. While some schools have opened up the online system, many are selling prospectus for Rs 100 and Rs 500. With point system of various schools being different and leading schools of Delhi giving more points to alumni and siblings, parents feel that it is a long way before their wards can get admitted to a good school. While the judgment of the Delhi High Court on nursery admission is still awaited, schools have opened admission in nursery above three years of age. Riddhi Chorpa (name changed) could not get her daughter admitted to a school in nursery last year because she did not fulfill the required age criteria in most of the schools. This year when her daughter has turned four, she is again not eligible and is overage for admission as most schools are admitting three plus students. Riddhi is a resident of Rajendar Nagar and her son studies in Salwan Public School, Rajendar Nagar. But since Salwan gives only 10 points for sibling case, her chances of getting daughter admitted in the school are very bleak. "Of all the schools in my neighbourhood my daughter is only eligible for two convent schools and no public school," she says as she looks at the notice board outside Springdales School, Pusa Road. "The Springdales School is giving 30 points for sibling case, so here again my chances are very less," she says. The school has put a cap on age limit from April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009. Everybody beyond the age does becomes none eligible for admission. Most of the schools have put a similar age cap and are admitted students in 3 years. For parents like Riddhi, the High Court judgment of January 6 is the only ray of hope. "If the court considers the Ganguly Committee report and makes it mandatory to give admission in nursery at 4 years, only then will my child become eligible for a public school," she says. Confusion prevailed as most schools sold forms from 8:30am to 12:30 pm. “We were not aware of the timing, we will have to come again to buy the form," said parent Sonali Gurai. Guari had come to Mater Dei School for her daughter’s admission. However, many schools have adopted the online system and the forms have to downloaded from the website. The forms for schools including Delhi Public School, Tagore International School, Vasant Valley, Bal Bharti are available on the school website. Violating the guidelines of the Directorate of Education which clearly says that the form has to be submitted with `25, many schools are selling prospectus charging fee between `100 to `500. Schools including Venkateshwar International School, KR Mangalam School, Indian School, Birla Vidya Niketan and Springdales are charging a fee for giving forms. "I paid `500 for the form at KR Mangalam School and `100 at Tagore International. I will fill forms for other schools as well and will have to go form-shopping again. I think I will be spending about `2,000 in just filing the forms," Sanjeev Kochar a resident pf Defence Colony. Another parent Amit Saxena, however, refused to pay for the form. "I told them that the Government says that the form is to cost `25, so why should I pay `500. At Birla Niketan School, they took me aside and gave me the form for `25, while more than 250 parents standing in queue paid `500," said Amit. Further violating the guidelines of the Directorate of Education, some schools have announced that the forms will be available till January 6. St Francis School Janakpuri has announced that the forms will be available toll January 6 and submissions will begin from January 7 to continue till January 12. “This will be violation of the DoE guidelines which says that the forms will be sold till January 16,” said Sumit Vohra of admissionsnursery.com.

Topic: Parents Of AdmissionsNursery.Com Creates History: against schools for not following the government guidelines." "There are too many discrepancies. Modern School in Humayunpur and Vasant Vihar did not disclose any point system for nursery admissions. Laxman Public School and many others conducted a draw of lots in the absence of parents. Summerfields, KR Mangalam and many other schools are giving admissions on a first come first serve basis. Tagore International School has mentioned on its website that fee once paid will not be refunded, which is totally against the government guidelines." There are contradictory problems in the point system, say parents. While some parents found problems because their child was a first born, others had troubles because it was their second born child. Times of India dated 10 Feb VOICING ANGUISH Parents in black, see red on flaws Education Director Admits Loopholes In Nursery Admissions, To Rethink TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi:For the first time in the history of nursery admissions in the city, parents came out on the roads to protest against violations by schools and the serious crunch of seats in the general category. Dressed in black, these harried parents showed up outside the office of the directorate of education on Wednesday evening. They also submitted a memorandum to the education director. Soon after, the directorate issued a circular to schools stating that if any seats remain vacant in any category (mostly alumni and sibling) except the EWS, they should be declared as open for others who have not been successful in getting admission earlier. The education director, P Krishnamurthy, also admitted the nursery admissions this year turned out to be a learning experience for them especially after the implementation of the right to education and the 25% quota for the economically weaker section. “We will now have to look at how much is set aside in every category for nursery admissions. Schools have the freedom to fix their own criteria but we try to keep the system transparent. We will learn from this experience,” he said. According to him, schools which had kept categories for sibling, alumni and others will have to open the vacant seats for those in waiting. He also said the number of general seats had shrunk but the directorate had not stopped private schools from increasing their total number of seats to accommodate this quota. “We are also collecting details from all unrecognized schools so that we can know their number and about their infrastructure to consider relaxing the norms for recognition. That will create more options for parents,” Krishnamurthy said.

Topic: # Nursery Admissions - Nursery drill on in Delhi, sleepless months ahead - THE HINDU- Nursery admissions begin in the Capital: e especially unhappy with schools that sell and accept only physical copies of forms. RELATED ... NEW DELHI: Several schools started the nursery admission process on Saturday with some conducting it on campus. This year's staggered admission process has drawn a mixed response from parents. While some say it will help them apply to more schools, others find it inconvenient. K N Saha, who is collecting forms for his grandson, said, "Different dates make it easier for us. We can't cover all the schools in a short period of time". However, Jaspreet Gill, a doctor seeking admission for his first child, said, "The schedules are a problem. It's like we have nothing else to do but keep checking school websites for the next 15 days". Parents are especially unhappy with schools that sell and accept only physical copies of forms. "Why call us here? They don't even let you look around," said a parent standing in a queue on the road outside a school for the second time on Saturday. The impact of varying schedules was most evident from the near-absence of EWS-category applicants. The website of Springdales School (Pusa Road), said, "EWS forms will be given when the department of education gives permission to do it as 25% of EWS is their purview (sic)". Springdales principal Ameeta Mulla Wattal said, "That is the prerogative of the government. They haven't uploaded the form on their website yet, how can we start? For the rest, the high court has granted us freedom and autonomy and there's no stay so we have gone ahead". Whatever their views on the process, parents queued up for forms on Saturday. The Indian School sold over 750 on the first day. Long queues were also seen outside Summer Fields School (Kailash Colony) and KR Mangalam World School (Greater Kailash). Springdales (Dhaula Kuan), Maxfort (Dwarka) and DAV Centenary Public School (Paschim Enclave) also started selling forms on Saturday while some other schools announced their schedules. Raghubir Singh Junior Modern School will start the process on January 5; St Francis de Sales (Janakpuri) on January 2. Sanskriti School will start its process on December 23. Each school has its own point-distribution system. Mrinalini Mehta, a parent, reckoned she has a good chance at The Indian School. "I will get points for distance and 'first child'" she said, adding, "Elsewhere, I'll get points for 'girl child'". What parents are less sure about is the number of seats. Restoration of management quota means there are fewer open seats this year. "This year could turn out to be the worst since 2007. Parents will have to run around from December 20 to January 20, just to collect and submit the forms," said Sumit Vohra of admissionsnursery.com, adding, "The differing schedules could also make collecting fee refunds difficult". THE HINDU- Nursery admissions begin in the Capital But some schools are awaiting the Supreme Court verdict Many schools in the Capital started Nursery admissions on Saturday despite the Directorate of Education on Friday asking the schools to put them on hold till January 5. Schools like Sanskriti School, Springdales School and DAV Public School started admissions, while others like Delhi Public School have decided to adopt the wait-and-watch policy and will start admissions after the Supreme Court verdict. Schools in East and West Delhi saw parents, in large numbers, queuing up to buy application forms. Schools in Central Delhi and South Delhi released the forms online. Parents will now have to buy individual forms for all schools they want to apply at. Some of the schools that had earlier announced to start admissions on Saturday delayed the procedure after the DOE notice. Kapil Arora, seeking admission for his daughter in Dashmesh Public School in East Delhi said: “The admission procedure this year is very confusing. The schools are not declaring anything properly.” Sumit Vohra from nurseryadmissions.com said: “Around 70 schools had announced to start admissions from Saturday, but only a few creamy layer schools started it. Others are starting from January 5, but many have not even declared the admission dates putting parents in a fix.” Another point of worry for the parents this year is that the admission procedure has been prolonged. “Parents will have to run from pillar to post as schools are issuing forms till January 20 and January 31. This would also mean that the fee refund policy of the DOE will not be applicable in case a parent wants to withdraw admission from one school and go to another as the fee refund is valid only for one month,” added Mr. Vohra.
