Admission in Delhi’s private schools for general category students in nursery, KG and Class 1 began on Thursday, according to a circular by the Directorate of Education.
The last date for submission of admission forms is December 15, and the first list for admission will be released on January 12, according to the DoE.
Speaking to a leading news agency, the principal of ITL Public School, Sudha Acharya, said most admissions are happening online and that they have added a QR code for parents to easily access the form.
“We just started the registration process, and it is happening mostly online. We have done a new thing this year, which is adding a QR code for parents to easily access the form. Parents can scan the code and access the admission form. There are also introductory videos. Most of the parents are working people, so this is working well for them,” Acharya said. There are a total of 190 nursery seats for nursery in ITL Public School, and almost 2,000 admission forms are submitted by parents every year, she added. There is a 25 per cent reservation of seats for economically weaker sections (EWS), disadvantaged group (DG) students, and children with disabilities in private schools. For admission in pre-school (nursery), pre-primary (KG), and Class 1, the minimum age, as of March 31, should be three years, four years, and five years, respectively, according to the notification.
Pre-school, pre-primary, and Class 1 are classified as entry-level classes, and the upper age limit for admission is less than four years, less than five years, and less than six years, respectively.
