uch a drill.. I don't understand why do they keep changing the admission criteria every now and then. And I really doubt how genuinely the schools follow those criterias. There is no transparency so people like us have no choice but to accept whatever these schools tell us.
I came to know that DPS, Bal Bharti, Sri Venkateswara, mount Carmel are good schools in Dwarka. I have also heard that KR Mangalam has a branch in vikas puri and its good. Other than that I am also interested in Salwan public school naraina and Springdales dhaula kuan.
I am planning to fill the forms of all these schools. Will definitely update you if i come to know anything. Meanwhile Mother's pride only promotes their school Presidium so don't think they will keep any such session. Good to know that Shemrock is helping parents.
I had taken a break after my daughter was born and have recently joined a job.
It feels so good to find a friend in you n I look forward to it.
Take Care!

Poorti

tinue their hunt for a school seat well into March/April this year as per the KG-admission schedule released by several popular private schools in the city.
While most claim that they may not actually open for KG admissions this year, others say that they will take in students depending upon seat availability which can be assessed only after the nursery admission are over.
Springdales School, Dhaula Kuan and Pusa Road, will open for KG admissions only by the third week of March. “Since the basic entry to the school is at nursery (3 plus) stage, there are very few windows of entry to the school. Most parents refer that the child continues in the school and we have very few vacant seats for KG then. Parents will need to check back with us in the third week of March to see if there are seats available for entry to KG,'' said Springdales School (Pusa Road) Principal Ameeta Mulla Wattal.
Most popular schools refusing to give out the exact number of seats available in the KG have asked the parents to follow the policy of watch and wait. “All the parents seeking admissions for the children to KG have been advised to leave an application at school and then wait for a call from the school,'' said Sumit Vohra, founder of the website admissionsnursery.com which is a portal helping parents seeking admissions to various schools in Delhi.
Schools including Sardar Patel Vidyalaya, Sanskriti School and Bal Bharati Public School, Pusa Road, are asking parents to apply and wait for a vacancy.
“Most of the popular schools in the city are not taking in fresh admission in KG saying their seats are full with nursery batch promoted to KG. Besides a few schools that start admissions in KG for a child who did not manage to secure admission in nursery, seats are few and far between. Several schools like Delhi Public School, Springdales and Mother's International has not opened admission in KG yet. Some of them may have one or two vacancy in KG provided existing students in nursery withdraw,'' said Seema Kohali, who is seeking admission for her four-year-old daughter.…
t DPS, RK Puram, shows that 10 out of 11 belonged either to alumni or sibling criterion.
At the school’s second junior branch at East of Kailash, only one in 36 did not belong to either category. At least 21 applicants belonged to both.
The minimum points to a candidate who does not belong to the sibling or alumni criterion is 32, based on residence and first-born category. Maximum points given to a child with any of the two criteria is 58, and maximum points for those who qualify in both alumni and sibling criteria totals 64.
As reported by Newsline on January 5, students applying under the alumni-parent or sibling criterion made the cut in large numbers in several private schools.
Specifically, nearly 98 per cent in DPS, Mathura Road, and 97 per cent in Springdales, Dhaula Kuan, belonged to the sibling and alumni criteria. A few schools admitted students through draw of lots, like Apeejay School in Pitampura. But even here, a third of the total seats were reserved for the alumni-parent and siblings criteria.
At Mother’s International School, there are 35 points each for sibling and alumni criterion. The minimum points allotted to a short-listed candidate are 40, while only 30 points are given in the neighbourhood criterion. Maximum points to any applicant go as high as 70.
At Springdales, Pusa Road, the minimum weightage for selection is 45 points.
Children who do not come under the sibling or alumni category, will have to score 20 points meant for neighbourhood, five for girl child, five for inter-state transfers or children from overseas, another 10 for first-born child and even then belong to a minority (five points) to match up to the points for sibling (30) and alumni (25) put together.
Principal Springdales, Pusa Road, Ameeta Wattal said, “Unfortunately, parents belonging to other categories do not get as many seats as sibling and alumni, but the High Court has allowed us to have justifiable criteria and we have many other categories to make the process more inclusive.”
Child education rights activist Ashok Agarwal said the results are indicative of the discriminatory admission policy of private schools.
“Schools are discriminating children based on the credentials of their parents, which is completely against the spirit of the RTE as the point system is a device to defeat the purpose of the ban on screening procedure,” he said.…
