Breaking News - Admission Guidelines suggested by the National Progressive Schools’ Conference (NPSC)

Admission Guidelines suggested by

the National Progressive Schools’ Conference (NPSC)

NPSC in its General Body meeting held on 3rd December 2014 welcomed the decision of the honourable high court calling it a landmark judgement, upholding autonomy of the private unaided public schools and granting freedom to the schools to devise their own admission guidelines.

Members decided that the guidelines should be –

(a)          Student friendly

(b)          Parent friendly

(c)          School friendly 

(d)          Transparent

(e)          Catering to all segments of society.

The policy designed should be clear and such that it is easy to implement and without any confusion.

NPSC schools are already following the Right To Education Act in Toto and have provided quality education to children admitted under 25% seats for EWS with full zeal and enthusiasm.

Children from all social and economic backgrounds shall be equally considered for admission.

No parent / child would be interviewed. 

Following are the guidelines advised by the NPSC to its members –     

  1. Neighbourhood/distance- All members agreed that this should be one of the criteria, for which each school can decide the points keeping in mind their own specific requirements and catchment areas.
  2.  Sibling- Agreed by all that points must be allocated for siblings
  3. Alumni- Members agreed for allotting points for alumni as per specific requirement of each school
  4. Staff ward- Everyone agreed that status quo should be maintained (5%)
  5. Management quota- All members agreed on the Management discretion upto 20% seats.
  6. Children with special needs- The members agreed that as per the suggestions of the Chairperson, NPSC schools must be disabled friendly and bring in children with special needs as a social responsibility.  

 

The house felt that other categories could be made optional depending upon school specific requirement i.e. –

*Single Parent.

* Girl Child.

* First Born Child.

*Minority.

Etc

The above parameters are only for general seats.  It may be noted that as per the directions of RTE, 25% of the seats have to be reserved for the EWS category.

All these parameters had been cleared by the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi in their order dated 29th November 2007 and later by the decision of Hon’ble Supreme Court of India vide order dates 14th December 2007.

  1. It was also decided that the amount to be charged: Only Rs 25/- for registration (No other charges).
  2. There should be no sale of Brochure/Prospectus or any money charged for the same.

The house agreed that the admission process should be initiated at the earliest and accordingly decided that -

  1. Distribution & Collection of Forms should open between 20th December 2014 and 20th January 2015 for a minimum period of 15 days. 
  2. Draw of lots for Economically Weaker Section should be done between 25th January 2015 to 5th February 2015.

The schools should give dates for display of first list or any subsequent list on website / notice board. 

The entire admission process should finish by 31st March 2015.

this isnt final yet. right?

there is a PIL challenging the recent HC decision is still pending

20 percent management seats means donations...very unfair rules...dis appointed. ..
That's a good one if done with honesty
20% management quota = 20% seats available for auction
= only 80% seats are available for middle class.

Correction, nearly 70% of all Nursery seats are available to the Middle Class. 25% to kids of poor folks, and probably 5% to the kids of rich folks (who would be participating in the auction for the sought after schools). For the rest, demand and supply forces will ensure the availability by itself. 

Guardian

No

Rather more than 50 % seats are reserved

25% for ews

20 % for Management quota

5 % Staff (was never in ganguly commission)

3 % for spl needs for schools having facilities (for spl needs as per HC orders)

Sakshi, my response is on the seats available to middle class, ie, outside the Management Quota in select dozen odd schools in Delhi like DPS RKP,VK & Rohini, MIS, Modern VV & BRd, SPV, Gyan Bharti & Springdales DK.

While your remark is a very accurate technical seat split.

Tell me something, will a Tier 2 school be able to auction it seats at rates commanded by the odd dozen - my gut says no, else they will be looking at empty seats in classrooms and lost opportunity revenues. 

Now do the math!!

These guidelines looks pretty conducive on papers however 25% seats on discretion od d schools leaves very little scope for d middle class society putting them again through hardship!
Also, no mention of if a school flouts d guidelines what is redressal machanism? This wud for sure add to the chaos n absolutely testing times for the parents!

In 2008 I filled up 35 forms, out of which I got my daughter selected in 1 school. Now again I guess it will be same nightmare for my son's admission. :(
