DELHI SCHOOL ADMISSIONS : THE NEW STRUGGLE ?

Delhi; a city known for its fast paced life and political significance is one of the most dynamic city of
India. One more thing that the Capital is famous for is its excellent educational quality. Every year
approximately 1700 schools in Delhi conduct admissions and almost every school gets a massive
response from parents.

Not only schools even Delhi University colleges face a massive response of students. This year 58,000
students are admitted in Delhi colleges. This shows that people from all over India dreams to study in
Delhi. Getting an admission done in schools of Delhi is as difficult as climbing Mount Everest.

ADMISSION SYSTEM OF DELHI SCHOOLS

Conquering Delhi school admissions is more like winning a lottery. According to 2019 news reports most
schools of Delhi has given preference to neighborhood distance, siblings and alumni while allotting
eligibility criteria. Some of them have also considered girl child, single parent, first child and adopted
child while giving preference. Most of the schools have 50-75% of reservations for general category on
entry level seats, 25% seats are reserved for EWS and disadvantaged category.
Delhi has approximately 1600 schools. Delhi Government has fixed the upper age limit of 4 year for
nursery admissions , 5 for KG and 6 for first class as per the circular of Directorate of Education.

CHALLENGES FACED BY PARENTS DURING ADMISSIONS

Every year there are drastic changes in admission system of Delhi schools which makes it difficult for
parents to understand the admission process. Delhi admissions are no less than a catching a butterfly.
So here is a list of things you might have to face during admissions –

•  Standing in long queues for several hours.
•  Visiting different schools on regular basis
•  Difficulty in selecting the best school
•  You might face problem if you don’t have proper documents
•  Understanding complex admission system
•  Problems can be faced during interviews if you are not well prepared

IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS FOR ADMISSIONS

Parents face a lot of problems during the admission when they don’t have proper documents or
certificates. Sometimes it may happen that we don’t have a document and after the admission process
starts we get to know that having that particular document is important for admission. This may lead to

delay in admission process of your child. So here is the list of mandatory documents that you must have
at the time of admissions-

1.  Birth Certificate
2.  Proof of residential address
3.  Adhaar card of child.
4.  Passport size photograph of child
5.  Adhaar card of both the Parents
6.  Medical certificates

THINGS TO PREPARE FOR BEFORE ADMISSIONS

There are certain important things that you should be prepared for before facing the admissions of Delhi
schools. As the process is very complex and requires a lot of dedication one should always be 100%
prepared for this .Here is the list of certain things that you should sort before heading for admissions

•  Make a list of schools that you want to apply and rank them according to your preference
•  Keep all you documents prepared and don’t forget to have copies of each
• Prepare your kids and yourself for the interview round
• Understand the admission process and system in general as well as for the schools where you
• are planning to apply.
•  Fill the forms as early as you can

LOOPHOLES OF ADMISSION PROCESS

There are many loopholes in admission process which makes this even more difficult for parents. Here
are some of them which we feel should be changed so that admissions become a little convenient for
parents

•  Online forms – digitalisation makes everything simpler. There should be online applicationsavailable on every school’s website so that parents don’t have to stand in queues and there is less rush.

•  A Simpler System – Not all parents are highly qualified and intellectual enough to understandcomplexity related to admission process. We should have a little simpler system because this is something that is related to the masses.

•  Reservations – reservations does not provide any advantage to children coming from socially
  and economically weak background as they are forced to compete with people from better classes who obviously will be better than them.

•  Donations- many private schools give admissions to rich class through donations which is
  injustice for the middle and lower class people so there should be strict rules against this.
