The mad rush for nursery admission to Delhi schools is about to begin soon. And right before the process was set to start, Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung has issued an order scrapping the 20 per cent management quota for admission. The Directorate of Education, Delhi, has issued guidelines following Jung’s order on Wednesday.
‘From this academic year in pre-primary classes, there will be no management quota in admission in any private recognised schools of Delhi,’ the order says.
Forms for admissions will be available from 15 January. The last date for submission of forms will be 31 January.
The government has also changed the point system for admissions. Seventy, out of 100, points will be given to the neighbourhood criterion which has been fixed at six kilometres.
For siblings studying in the same school, new applicants will get 20 points, if parents of the applicant child have been an alumni of the school 5 points will be granted. Five points will be given for inter-city transfer.
Amit Singla, Directorate of Education said, ‘To encourage girl’s education, government has decided to set five per cent quota for girl students in co-ed schools. The quota seat will be given through a draw of lot out of all the registered girl applicants residing within six kilometer radius of the school.’ A quota of 25 per cent has also been fixed for students coming from economically weaker sections of the society.
