Some schools ask for fee before release of first list
◗ The admission process for nursery classes in around 1,600 private unaided recognised schools will began from December 27
Parents seeking admission for their wards in nursery and other entry level classes in the city are worried as some schools are demanding them to submit fee before the release of the first list.
The first list of the selected candidates ( students) will be declared on February 15 on the website of the respective schools and a list containing the detailed marks given to each applicant based on the point system adopted by the respective school will be uploaded by them on February 2.
However, the parents were heard to be complaining that some of the schools were asking them to submit the fees beforehand and so as to secure a seat before the first list is released .
“We are confused whether we should that wait for the list of other schools and then make a choice or just secure a seat right away,” said a parent, who did not wish to be identified.
According to the admission guidelines, the fee submitted in a school can be taken back within a month.
The parents said that if the name of their children doesn’t appear in the first list of the school of their preference, they would want to wait for the second list that would be released on February 28.

Meanwhile, the parents were confused regarding the neighbourhood criteria as the schools are adopting various methods for measuring distance.
Almost all the schools, giving admission in nursery and other entry level classes, give maximum points to neighbourhood criteria — proximity of the child’s residence to school. Some schools even give as many as a total of 70 points out of 100.
While some Delhi schools are measuring it through Google’s aerial map, others are relying on routes of school transportation.
Some schools have fixed neighbourhood points as per localities and not distance in kilometres.
