Nursery Admissions in Delhi NCR 2026-27

On why "neighbourhood" should be the only criterion in school admissions
1. Distance from the school is the only criterion that affects a child physically. No other criterion affects the child physically. Criteria like siblings, transferable jobs, awardee parents, single parent and so on are just discriminatory.
2. If more children are sent to neighbourhood schools, all neighbourhood schools would have a chance to develop.
3. Eventually, people would become "proximity" conscious than "brand" conscious.
4. Siblings would stand a greater chance of getting into the same school as they will also qualify for the neighbourhood points like their siblings.

Mam you are right
RESERVED JUDGEMENT
Q : What does it mean that the court has reserved its judgment?
A : When a court reserves the judgment, it means the matter has been kept in abeyance for a while. This is done after all the parties have completed their arguments and all the written submissions have been filed in the court.
Q: Why do judges reserve a judgment?
A : The judges reserve a judgment so they can write a judgment. One must understand that a judgment is not a single page order of few lines, the judgment contains the summery of arguments of both the parties, the law of the land, previous judgments on the issue, conclusion and the reasons for arriving on that conclusion. Judges need time to refresh in their memory, the arguments of each party, do research by reading previous judgments and judgments on similar issues in other countries and finally think about the reasons for arriving on a particular conclusion. This entire excersise is very laborious and time consuming.
Q : What is the normal timeframe in which a judgment should ideally be delivered?
A : There is no fixed timeframe for the judges to write judgments but six months is considered to be a reasonable time for passing a judgment. If a judge keeps a judgment reserved for more than six months, any of the party can mention to the Chief Justice about this.
Q : What happens to a reserved judgment if the judge retires?
A : If anything like this happens, the new bench will hear the matter afreash. A judge can not sign/pronounce a judgment after he retires.
Q : Is it necessary for a judge to reserve judgment in every case?
A : No! Its not at all necessary for a judge to reserved judgment in all the cases. Generally the court reserved judgments in cases of extreme public importance, cases which will have greater impact on the polity of India, cases in whcih the courts are laying down some new law etc. In many cases, judges deliver the same day the arguments are complete.By Sumit Nagpal.

Agree, last 3 days have been nerve wrecking. In fact, i took a week's leave for this. That is why you see my more-than-frequent comments :-)

Congrats Stuti. Status quo is maintained. Judgment is reserved. Admissions will continue as usual. You can ride on your unfair advantage. And the rest, well, frankly who cares about the rest.

Since the court itself says its ruling will apply to this year's admissions, I am sure the judgment or some interim order will come soon

The argument in favour of sibling category may be strong but can it stand the test of child-centric approach of RTE? Is it not discriminating between kids having siblings and those don't? What is the child's crime if he has no sibling? Why our little angels should suffer for having no sibling?

Hi Stuti,
sorry for typo in your name. actually, i was in hurry as i had to get home.
ok let us forget 20 kms and i agree having your kids in same school is best from logistics view and i understand situation in your boat. i know how hard it becomes to track two schools for two kids. but to let you know, my first child is having problems in getting admissions in schools near my home just because admission list is full of kids with siblings in same school. in such case i am not sure how will my child get admission and i mean not one or two schools but all 15 i have seen so far. as for siblings why can we make points for sibling equal to first child? both are mutually exclusive? i am not sure if i understand your point correctly but does it mean that somehow i can get my 2nd child in a school on sibling points when my first is not getting admitted to any school? i do not think that this should happen? should we discriminate the first child for not having a sibling and does not the first child have right of getting admitted to any school of hir/her choice. as for neighbourhood, leave alone 20 kms but are we wishing that school near your home never becomes good. please remember a school is as good as its students and its teachers. so school near your home will never be good if good students never get admitted into it. in this case why have a school at all in your neighbourhood. to be little personal here. all good schools are more nearly 10 kms from my home but i am not prefering them over schools near my home which are my first preference
