Clearing the Nomenclature and Age confusion
Private educational institutions, both Recognized and Unrecognized have wide variation and divergence in the present day Pre-Primary education and Pre-School education nomenclature. The schools have created a little confusion with reference to the connotation of the term ‘nursery’.
It appears that there is also some ground for suspecting willful misinterpretation by a few institutions so as to reap commercial benefits and escape from implementation of government orders etc. in this regard.
At present preschool classes are variously called Nursery, Pre Nursery, Montessori, Kindergarten, Play-school, etc. In many of the private schools Pre-Primary consists of two or even three years variously known as LKG, UKG, Pre-nursery, Nursery, Preparatory and so on. Sometimes ‘Creche’ facility is also provided by big schools, hence there is bound to be confusion. Play schooling constitutes Informal schooling where child is admitted at varied age starting from two year onwards. There cannot be any prescription of a standard nomenclature for preschool classes because such facilities would, to a large extent, derive their names from the system they follow such as Montessori, Kindergarten etc and also from their purpose and function, such as creche, nursery and day care centre. etc.
So the correct accepted position as per DOE and Ganguly committee recommendations is as follows :-
Pre-Primary Class
Pre-Primary class is the one year of schooling of a child immediately before the child enters Class-I ( i.e. Primary-Education) popularly known as Prep/KG/Mont-2/UKG etc.
Age Eligibility for Pre-Primary - A child should have attained four years on or before 31st March of the year of admission to be considered eligible for gaining admission to Pre-Primary class. Pre- Primary class is considered as Entry level in various schools where formal schooling starts from this class noticeably various Convent schools and few Minority run schools.
For Academic session 2012-13, child born between 01 April 2007 and 31 March 2008 are eligible for Pre-Primary.
Pre-School Class
Pre-School Class /Classes constitute that section of schooling of one year duration preceding the Pre-Primary class popularly known as Pre-nursery/Nursery/Mont -1/LKG etc.
Age Eligibility for Pre-School - Every child admitted to preschool shall be of minimum three years by 31st March of the year in which admission is being sought. Pre-School class is considered as Entry level in majority schools where formal schooling starts from this class.
SchoolAdmissions.in - A Parent's Guide To Delhi Nursery & KG School Admissions 2012-2013
For academic session 2012-13, child born between 01 April 2008 to 31 March 2009 are eligible for Pre-School.
Schools like Mt Carmel and others are chronic flouters of the cut off age for admission as 30 September 2011.
As of present prevailing guidelines and order all such children admitted to Pre-School for academic session 2012-13 shall be automatically promoted to Pre-Primary and shall not have to apply fresh. The Honorable Delhi High adjudicating Advocate Ashok Agarwal's PIL on this issue is going to decide whether Pre-School is Formal or not , Preschoolers be automatically promoted or not to Pre-Primary and to whether to separate Pre-School from Main school. The final order is due on 6th Jan 2012. If the court accepts and admits the prayer in the said PIL , then academic session 2012-13 may be a transition year and we may witness paradigm shift in school policies regarding Pre-School admissions. Lets wait and watch.

SchoolAdmissions.in - A Parent's Guide To Delhi Nursery & KG School Admissions 2012-2013
100 Point system as per DOE order (according to Ganguly committee) for General category
The 100 Point system followed in majority school is school specific with regard to criterion followed and points allocated to each criteria. Each applicant is given points depending on the extent to which an applicant fulfills a particular criteria as per points allocated to that criteria. Commonly followed criteria are as follows
The school would assess the applicant on a scale of 1 to 100 in the following manner
Neighborhood - Points Allocated 20 to 50. The specification of distance radius is generally as per school bus route. Preference to children living in nearby areas. In certain schools if the school is satisfied that a good and safe transport is available for a child, then, it may consider giving admission to such a child even if he/she lives at a place quite far off from the school. So Nearer the distance from school higher the point weightage, and further the distance the lesser the point weightage.
Sibling (up-to one sibling only)- Points allocated 20 to 30. Points are given to applicant if a real brother or sister of the applicant is on the school roll. Generally, parent(s) or guardian(s) prefer that children study in the same school. Therefore, the school may preference to a child who has a sibling studying in that school. No marks shall be awarded to the third child of the same parent ( DPS VK ).Full points will be awarded if the applicant siblings are twins. (DPS VK)
Alumni - Points Allocated 10 to 25
If 20 points for Alumni then Father/Mother or both who have passed class 10/12 from the same School (5/10 points to each parent will be allotted for passing class 10/12 respectively).
If 10 points for alumni then Father/Mother or both who have passed class 10/12 from School (2.5/5 points to each parent will be allotted for passing class 10/12 respectively).
Transfer Case: Points allocated 5 to 20. Cases of transfer of father/mother/both. Transfer is not valid if it is within NCR. Many parents or guardian are working in transferable jobs, in the government and other private sectors. The school may give preference to the child of such parent(s) or guardian(s). For (Gazetted Officers of All India Services / Delhi Govt. Posted outside / PSUs / Autonomous bodies under Govt. of India / Commissioned officers of Indian Army // Air Force // Navy / International Agencies). Transfer Order / Release Letter and Joining Letter from a competent authority in support of transfer / posting in respect of parent claiming transfer points.( DPS VK)
Girl Child - Points allocated 5 to 10. In case of twin girls both get same equal points. Full points will be awarded if the applicant siblings are twins. (DPS VK).
First born child - Points allocated 5 to 10. n case of girl twins both get same equal points. Full points will be awarded if the applicant siblings are twins. (DPS VK).
SchoolAdmissions.in - A Parent's Guide To Delhi Nursery & KG School Admissions 2012-2013
Single Parent (Divorced/widow/widower/unmarried/separated) points allocated 5 to 10. The School may give preference to admit child of such single parent viz. divorced or widow or widower or unmarried or separated.
School Specific - Certain schools had devised their school specific criteria last year also which were canceled after DOE intervention. But this year too we expect schools to come out with such criteria.
Other Miscellaneous Criterion - Certain schools like Mahavira Model schools etc ( Run by Sh S L Jain ) comes out with out of the box criterion - look out for them.
• As per Provisions of RTE there should be NO profiling of the child based on parental educational qualification and income ( sans EWS ). Notwithstanding, schools do ask for parents qualification and income for their records only.
• In the event of many applicants getting identical final scores in the lowest eligible scores, a limited lottery system would be opted for within these applicants to select children for admission. This option will arise only in case of availability of seats for admission.
Draw of Lots or Random Selection Procedure
Random procedure implies that if the number of children applying to a school exceeds the available seats, an open lottery system shall be used to fill the seats. This applies to all categories of schools. Various methods could be employed for the open lottery system, the easiest being having name/number for each child that applied on a folded paper slip in a container, out of which children themselves fish out one each randomly, in the presence of parents in an open transparent manner.
According to Section 2(o) along with Section 13(1) and 13(2)(b) of RTE prohibits and prescribes punishment for any of screening procedures and calls for only random procedures to be used for admitting a child to school. This prohibition would apply to all schools, private or special category schools like Navodaya schools too. No school can claim special category status because it indulges in screening procedures at the elementary level.

At least 15% of the seats will be filled through the lottery system for General category applicants who do not fit in any popular criteria/category ( MEDIA REPORT)
The process of Lottery or Random selection is to be done in presence of DOE officials and the whole proceedings are recorded on video camera and is submitted by schools later by DOE

Purchasing School Prospectus is OPTIONAL and NOT mandatory but still schools compel parents to buy Prospectus which may vary from Rs100 to Rs500 , which is against the guidelines and should be admonished.

SchoolAdmissions.in - A Parent's Guide To Delhi Nursery & KG School Admissions 2012-2013
Suggestions and Tips for Filling Offline and Online Forms
OFFINE FORM FILLING
It is generally suggested and advised to fill at-least 15-20 schools of your priority list that are near to your residence or are of your choice to maximize your chances of securing a seat in a school.
Photocopy the Printed Original Form first and try to fill the photocopy first with pencil to avoid corrections. Once you are sure that all the particulars are correctly filled then fill the original Form patiently neatly preferably Black/Blue ball point pen forms as incomplete and incorrectly filled forms are summarily rejected.
Fill forms as soon as possible and submit them ASAP. Do not wait for last days and avoid last minute rush for procuring and submission of forms.
Always keep the photocopy of the Filled form with a mention of the documents submitted for your own reference that will help you when you go for informal interaction at the time for verification of original documents.
On submission schools give a receipt. Keep the receipt safe and secure.
ONLINE FORM FILLING Before filling the form get the DD/PO made as details of Pay Order/DD of amount specified by
schools specifically towards Processing Fee is to be filled in the ONLINE FORM in the relevant column.
Ensure that you have a power backup of computer (UPS) / full battery backup to ensure that submission is non interrupt-able
Take a SCREENSHOT/PRINTSCREEN images and print or copy the details required in form on paper and collect all info before hand the info asked in the form before finally filling online form.
Only one form per child is accepted. More than one form will lead to rejection of the application automatically.
Do a TRIAL/MOCK RUN form filling to get accustomed to the form and its feature. Please fill in each field of the form in BLOCK LETTERS or simply select by clicking on the
choices available. Use the TAB key or Mouse Control to move from one field to another. Before hitting the submit button again take a screen-shot/print-screen and print it. Take a print out of the form generated after submission. Affix child's photograph on the form in
the space provided. Ensure that the PRINTOUT filled form is duly signed. Send it by post/drop it in the appropriate drop box(according to your category) at the address
SchoolAdmissions.in - A Parent's Guide To Delhi Nursery & KG School Admissions 2012-2013
RESULT DECLARATION STRATEGY
Schools generally call the prospective parents (without child) for informal interaction preferably after the submission dates for document verification where they verify the attested photocopies of documents submitted with form and have an informal chat with parents. Normally both parents are required to go along with the originals of documents and form receipt.As you wait for the display of First List, prioritize the schools you have applied as you would be able to calculate the points you are likely to score. It is seen that a score of 40-45 points may stand a high chance of securing a nursery seat.In the event of many applicants getting identical final scores in the lowest eligible scores, a limited lottery system would be opted for within these applicants to select children for admission. This option will arise only in case of availability of seats for admission. BE sure that either of parent or any nominated person ( who has been authorized by you and who is carrying the form receipt ) to be PRESENT AT THE TIME OF LOTTTERY,( Not every school will require your presence but some can ).It is a general common strategy that parents normally block and secure the seat if their name appears in the first list and deposit the required amount of fees asked by the school even if the school is not in their top priority rank. The same process is followed for 2nd list in case the seats still remain vacant even after the first waiting list is exhausted or any seats become vacant in-case a candidates surrenders a seat, as some parents block more that 2-3 seats in different schools but later on surrenders when they get school of their choice. Hence to block seats in more than one schools it is suggested that one should have about 5-6 original copies of birth certificate as schools keep the certificate at the time of formal selection and admission.I have often seen that some parents keep on tracking a particular school of their choice even after 3rd or 4th list is out unto the last days of March and still they manage to get admissions as there are cases of late drop outs who leave the seat even in last days. So Never give up hope !!
• Capitation fee etc is banned as per section 13(1) of RTE and any school indulging in collection is liable to be penalized as per section 13(2)(b) of RTE.
SchoolAdmissions.in - A Parent's Guide To Delhi Nursery & KG School Admissions 2012-2013
REFUND POLICY
In case you have secured a seat in a school and later on you get a seat in another school that is more close to your dream school or choice you can opt for surrendering the seat secured/blocked earlier and opt for refund of the money/fee you had paid at the time of admission.
The refund policy that all school have to follow compulsorily is AVAILABLE HERE – CLICK HERE
Backdoor Admissions/Entry or Indian Juggad System
Notwithstanding the elaborate mechanism followed and detailed above there is this alternate route that some elite Indian parents use to bypass to secure admission for their loved ones in their most desired schools. Such parents explore all their contacts including all close and distant relations, business circle,official circle,friends to get in touch with influential and daring members of school management. These members help them out in securing seat through the reserved 20% management quota in exchange of obligations in the form of support for materialistic needs and requirements of the schools or the school management members.
You may find a TOUT/AGENT or an INTERMEDIARY crashing or exploring onto you when you go to submit the forms at school's gate. BEWARE of them and exercise UTMOST CAUTION while playing into their lacy words of confirmation of admission seat. BE VERY WARY OF SUCH PERSONALITIES as they are damn good at luring the most panicked and desperate parents who may find themselves at greater loss of funds at the end.
Complaint Redressal
In case any parent is aggrieved and has any complaints against any school/school staff not following any procedure as laid down by DOE, the matter can either be reported to the concerned school principle in writing or the issue can be escalated to DOE level by lodging a complaint online or offline at the concerned zonal office in writing.
