What to do if not selected in a school of your choice

Dear all,

I completed the admission process in Bluebells for my daughter today under Management Quota. There is a misconception that one has to pay to get admission under Management Quota. In top schools, management quota seats are not given based on "donation".

We had applied to about 25 schools in South Delhi, including Bluebells, but we got rejected in all schools except Cambridge NFC. In some schools, we were rejected directly and in a lot of schools, we got rejected in the lottery.

After we got rejected in all our top preference schools, we did the following:

1. We made a list of 6 schools that are better than Cambridge and were higher on our priority list - DPS Mathura Road, SPV, DPS EoK, RSJMS, Tagore EoK, and Bluebells. We then focussed all our efforts on only these 6 schools.

2. We wrote an email to these 6 schools. In addition to the email ids on the school website, we researched on google, LinkedIn, etc. to find the Principal's email id.
In the email, we wrote about our academic and professional highlights and accomplishments. We did not write about our income or wealth. We specifically asked the school to reconsider the application. We ran the content of the email through MS Word Spell-check and Grammarly to ensure that it is completely error-free.

3. We formatted the content of the email into a letter and sent the letter to the 6 schools by Speed Post. We also dropped the letter at the schools. SPV did not take our letter.

4. We got calls from Bluebells and Tagore EoK for an interaction a few days later. In both places, they had the letter in front of them during the interaction.
In Bluebells, it was not required to take our daughter. They asked about our profiles and how we spend time with our daughter. They also did document verification. In Tagore EoK, we were required to take our daughter and they spoke mainly with our daughter.
We also got call from Summerfield for interaction - without trying. We did not go there.

5. Bluebells gave us the admission offer on the day of the interaction itself. Tagore EoK said that they will let us know. Bluebells was higher on our priority list. So, we took admission there.

I thought other parents might find our experience useful.

This forum has been of great help during this entire journey.

Thanks, Mr. Vohra and Sakshi.

And, thanks to all the parents for posting the DOL results of various schools.

Regards,
Aryama Dutta Saikia

They have not released the fees for the coming financial year. We paid the provisional fee of Rs. 50000 for admission. I think the total annual fee will be under 2 lakhs.
