Plea likely against partial redraw
NURSERY ADMISSION TROUBLES DON’T END YET
Shreya Roy Chowdhury TNN
New Delhi: There may be more legal action coming on nursery admissions. At least some transfer cases may go to court, not against the withdrawal of points, but against the decision allowing some to hang on to their seats.
Waitlisted candidates, too, are anxious. The guidelines, they say, don’t clarify whether existing wait-lists are to be scrapped while its members participate in other draws.
“I made sure I moved in time for the admissions,” says Kumar Saurabh who moved from Mumbai in 2013. “I got new voter ID cards, changed the address on my wife’s passport and updated our Aadhaar cards. I wasn’t expecting any points for transfer. But I saw the new guidelines were good.” Figuring that the points for transfer improved his chances significantly, Saurabh applied to a “limited number of schools”. His son was selected at three.
Saurabh informs that schools, especially after protests over transfer cases, became so vigilant that he was asked to furnish many documents other than those prescribed by the Directorate of Education. “We thought the first guidelines were progressive. Later, we believed when DoE scraps transfer points, they’ll come up with something rational. They haven’t.”
His fears coincide exactly with 70-pointers (applicants with only distance points). “At one Vasant Kunj school, there’s a draw for hundreds of 75-pointers for 63 seats. If you remove transfer cases, the batch will be of siblings and alumni,” Saurabh says.
Several parents and activists have been demanding “capping” of the number of seats that can go to these categories. “You should have similarly scrapped 20 points for sibling and five points for alumni or at least a cap should have been put on them as suggested by the Ganguly Committee in its IInd Report to the Delhi high court in 2007,” lawyer-activist Ashok Agarwal wrote to the LG on Friday.
“Parents with genuine transfer points say they will get one chance in the lottery while others will get more. Since technically all lists are provisional, on what ground can waitlist candidates be rejected?” Sumit Vohra of admissionsnursery.com says.
Don’t contest other criteria: HC to parents
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
New Delhi: The Delhi government on Friday informed Delhi high court that it has done away with points for interstate transfer cases of children seeking admission in nursery classes.
“The writ petition was essentially filed against the grant of points reserved for interstate transfer category. The Delhi government informed us that the provision of five points for interstate transfer cases has been done away with and a fresh notification been issued. In view of this, no further direction is needed. The writ petition stands disposed,” a bench headed by acting Chief Justice B D Ahmed said.
During the hearing, the bench asked petitioner Rohit Nagpal and other parents not to widen the scope of the petition by challenging other admission criteria. It, however, asked the parents to approach the single judge bench for other grievances related to the nursery admission process. The single bench, which was hearing a similar plea, had disposed of the petition.

One other point that should be raised is , if there are points for sibling, there should be points for first kid. If kid have no sibling it is totally unjusrtice with the kids if he/she has no elder brother/sister. No point of loosong 20 points for the scenario.

I have just one thing to say- Delhi is the National Capital of India, how can a citizen of Delhi claim that his fellow citizen who stays in some different State of the same country shall be deprived of the Transfer Point system??
It seems that we have become so myopic that we are keeping all legal/ valid point at standby and only for the sake of individual vested interest, the cases are being filed in the shape of PIL.
Pls suggest at to what is the fault of a Parent who have just been transferred from some different State? Shall their basic right be infringed?
If this is the case then Why Sibling Point? Why Allumanai Point even? These points are also illogical as they compel the schools to take only those students whose parents have studied in that particular school or their siblings. "This is another way of treating equals- unequally".
This is total anarchy!!

Everyone is coming from different state is given same 70 points which are given to local Delhi residents! where is the injustice? Please don't think for only yourself. How your right is violated? It was utter nonsense guideline which gave wrong hope to people having transfer points..
Alumni point can have 5% quota which can be justified..it is the bright students who bring fame to schools..dont you think so..and also it has advantage in only one school... unlike transfer points which has edge everywhere... Still giving 5 point is not justified.
Think for Every Kid.....

this mess has helped the schools whom nobody used to give weightage. now these schools are calling parents to submit fee to secure seats(lottery system is not followed at all).
Also regarding new way of conducting draw, i think now there is no exact formula which can satisfy everbody.

It will be justified going to those schools at the current situation. Be prepared to lose some money if your kid gets a luck in 2nd /3rd list...

.......... scrap all points expect sibling (which is practical condition existing as per current situation-any one can easily verify this from the school and no one can manipulate this record)..........only keep criteria of distance of 8 kms........ no matter what selected/wait listed/not selected a fresh redraw of all the candidate should be done collectively.......... this is the only solution which justify equal and fair chance for everyone

If parents are transferred from any other city to delhi before the admission process has started then they are already getting 70 points for neighbourhood and they are on a level playing field with other parents of the city, so where is the discrimination against these parents??????.
