Nursery Admissions in Delhi NCR 2025-26

Form Dates | Admission Criteria | Results | Fee Details | List of All Schools

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.

I am probably banned for not sharing the correct cell phone number with that ID. So much for privacy.

@Stuti

Why discriminate between 2 kids on the basis of distance? To ensure those kids stand a greater chance to get into the schools near their homes. That's why.

In case the child does not feel comfortable with the school nearby, then they can apply to a distant but more 'comfortable' school. Like everyone else in their neighbourhood. And they will have an equal chance of getting into the school. Nothing more, nothing less.

Exactly. Physical comfort should get priority. Mental comfort is something no parent can predict. A kid may feel great in govt school, but miserable in top-notch private school.
