Delhiites accuse schools of using points system to their disadvantage

Almost a month after nursery admissions began in earnest, parents and activists are still alleging that the schools are trying to subvert the guidelines through any means open to them. The latest case in point being the “transfer points” in which a child who is transferred from one State to the other is entitled to five extra points while considering him for admissions.

“Some of the schools are allowing children from Noida and Gurgaon to be eligible for inter-State transfer. This is to the severe disadvantage of children in Delhi since many of the schools measure distance through the aerial method where some areas in Noida and Gurgaon are also included. Therefore, a child having a transfer certificate from these places will get five points in addition to the 70 points accorded to neighbourhood,” said Sumit Vohra of admissionsnursery.com.

According to the guidelines released by the Lieutenant-Governor, admissions are done on a 100-point basis in which 70 points will go to children who live within 8 km of the school. Sibling studying in school gets 20 points; parent alumni of school has five points and inter-State transfer case has the remaining five points.

However, those residing in Delhi claim that “inter-State” transfer is working to the disadvantage of those living in the Capital. “There are some children whose parents have been living in a neighbourhood for many years and there are some who move into a neighbourhood only for the sake of the school. Some of these people even manage to take transfer certificates and thereby an additional five points along with the additional 70 neighbourhood points,” said Mr. Vohra.A complaint by him had been registered with the Directorate of Education after which a notification has been issued to the effect that schools remain extra-vigilant about inter-State transfers and keep a database of such applications.

A special team of officers from the DOE might also carry out surprise inspections to cross-check the validity of admissions under the transfer case. Penal action against parents, action against school managements and cancellation of the child’s admission is also mentioned in the notification.

In a survey conducted by admissionsnursery.com, 98 per cent of the 800 parents questioned said they were against considering application from the NCR as inter-State transfer cases. They have threatened to take the matter to court.

@Kamaldeep, you seem to be the ncr transfer case hence shouting so much. every year around 5 lakh families migrate to delhi(as per govt rough data). if we don't safeguard ourselves first and continue giving points to even those living outside delhi, then god save the delhi born parents and delhi born kids. i am myself a delhi born, living in delhi ever since and unable to get a seat for my boy child first born just because of these transfer cases. justify this!

Mr Kamaldeep, You need to undertstand that when parents from Delhi apply in the NCR Schools, they are not gives extra points. If you fall within 8 km, take a fair chance of 70 points. Why the hell r u clutching onto extra 5 points
