The Second List (Gen. Category) of a reputed school in South Delhi was out recently for Nursery Admissions.

They had taken 20 students on the basis of Alphabetical Order out of 45 students in their first waiting list in which they shortlisted students with initials from A to I.

It is not at all a competitive or probability criterion (it should
have been on basis of lucky draw as mentioned on their website).

As per this list, no parents should name their child with initials
like Z, Y, X, & so on. All the children should have their name
initials A or B than only this school can admit the child from first
waiting list, which is not at all fair.

As per RTE Section for other than EWS category.
"it is clearly mentioned that in respect of unaided schools and specified category schools, and for all the seats in aided schools, each school should formulate a policy under which admissions are to take place. The Policy should be placed by the school in public domain, given wide publicity and explicitly stated in the school prospectus. Admission should be based strictly on this basis."

"As per Delhi Govt. Guidelines for Nursery Admissions all the schools have to inform about their Selection Criterion to Directorate of Education with the
details of such criteria and give wide publicity to the same."

I still wonder where this school had publicize this criterion of selection by Alphabetical Order for Second List.

What a parent can do in this scenario.
