First list of nursery admission out today

While schools have already held a draw of lots for the seats allotted to the economically weaker sections,most schools will now bring out the first list for selected general candidates.

“Of course I am keeping my fingers crossed. I have applied in about 20 schools — both top schools and second rung — for the admission of my three-year-old son,but I am still unsure,” said Nupur Awasthi,a parent.

Schools conducted the draw of lots for the EWS category in the presence of an official from the Directorate of Education. Springdales School-Pusa Road held the lottery at 2 pm on Monday and will be declaring its general category shortlist on Tuesday.

Other schools that will bring out their first list on Tuesday include The Mother’s International School-Aurobindo Marg; Vasant Valley-Vasant Kunj; Modern School; Gyan Bharati School-Saket; Frank Anthony-Lajpat Nagar; Shri Ram School; Salwan School-Rajender Nagar; Apeejay School-Sheikh Sarai; DPS-Rohini; Bal Bharati Public School-Rohini; K R Mangalam School-Vikaspuri and Ryan International,among others.

A few schools like Laxman Public School-Hauz Khas and Bal Bharati Public School-Gangaram Hospital Marg,have already announced their first list.

“Schools I have applied to will display their results either online or on their noticeboards. I will keep myself free tomorrow so that I can visit the school and also keep a tab online,” said Geetika,a parent from Kalkaji.

The DoE had earlier asked all schools to bring out with the first list by or before February 1.
