The centralised process for admissions to entry-level classes for over 200,000 seats in around 1,700 private schools, which usually commences in November or December, has been delayed by over two months due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Directorate of Education (DoE) issued the notification days after Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal said the government will soon begin the nursery admission process in private schools.
The centralised process for admissions which usually commences in November or December, has been delayed by over two months due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The government also carries out a separate entrance process for students from the Economically Weaker Sections(EWS)/ Disadvantaged Groups (DG) categories to these classes for the 25% reserved seats under the Right to Education (RTE) Act.
In Monday’s notification, the DoE asked all deputy directors of education (DDEs) in the Capital to provide an updated list of all private unaided recognised schools in Delhi, the correct GPS coordinates of all the schools categorised by jurisdiction, and information regarding EWS/DG category seats at the entry-level classes.
Further, all district DDEs were directed to get the above exercise completed by 15th February so that further necessary action can be taken to start the online admission process for the next academic session.
