Nursery admissions on in minority institutions
NEW DELHI: The admissions schedule and update issued by directorate of education are now "kept in abeyance". As per a fresh order from DoE, "Further course of action shall be intimated in due course as per the judgment of the high court." But this time at least admissions aren't starting in all schools at the same time. Many minority schools not party to the court case have started admissions.
The different schedules are creating further confusion among an already-stressed parent body. "The calendar at least should be the same. Many parents have bought forms from the Christian minority schools but several non-minority schools are also selling forms and prospectuses," says Sumit Vohra of admissionsnursery.com.
One parent who collected a form from Montford Senior Secondary School in Ashok Vihar was surprised to find the criteria were different from the ones issued on the basis of the order of the Lieutenant Governor. "They have divided the eight-kilometre distance further into segments. Many applicants were upset with that," says a parent. The flurry of court cases and orders following the December 18 guidelines has left parents confused about what schools are allowed to do. They are still under the impression Christian schools aren't allowed to choose their criteria and distribute points.
In some cases, minority schools that have been allowed by the high court to select their own parameters, have chosen to go with the LG's guidelines with few changes. Montfort, for instance, has kept the points distribution prescribed by the LG with just one change—it has divided the eight kilometres into segments. St Columba's, which started admissions on January 15, too has a different points distribution system with 40 points going to Catholics/Christians, 20 to siblings, 20 to alumni and 20 for distance. A representative of minority schools points out many minority schools, despite the high court staying the new guidelines for them, have chosen to do away with the management quota.
The nursery helpline received 1,524 calls on Thursday. Director, education, Padmini Singla says that the complaints received mostly had to do with minority schools starting admissions and schools forcing people to buy prospectuses. "Minority schools aren't party to the case and are allowed to start admissions," she clarifies.

Its agreed tht Minority schools are allowed to start admissions. However, respected DoE haven't stated 1) Whether these schools r free to charge Rs. 150 or Rs. 250 as per their whims and fancies.? 2) Are they free to have their own admission criterias.?
