Nursery admissions: DoE invites applications for last year’s vacant seats in private schools

Delhi government has commenced inviting applications for admissions in entry-level classes against seats which remained vacant in the last academic session, according to the Directorate of Education (DoE).

“Some private schools have claimed that they could not get admission under open seats as per their declared strength in entry-level classes (Nursery, KG and Class 1) in 2021-22 academic session,” said a senior DoE official.

“The applicants will have to apply to the school directly latest by June 2,” he added.

The process for nursery admissions in over 1,700 schools for 2021-22 academic session began in February last year, two months later than the usual schedule.

Delhi government officials had earlier said that a proposal to scrap nursery admissions was being considered as the schools were closed for several months due to COVID-19. But school principals had opposed this idea and the plan was ultimately scrapped.
