Based on draw, the Delhi Government has released the results for admission into the government schools in the city. The parents can check their ward’s name on the official website of Delhi Education Department — edudel.nic.in. Under the Directorate of Education, 150 Sarvodaya Vidyalayas have been added to the list of schools admitting students to nursery, kindergarten and class one.
The registration was begun on March 4 and ended on March 18.
This year, nursery admission criterias were under scanner as petitions were filed against scrapping the Delhi government’s order on private schools to accept only children who live close to the school. This ‘neighbourhood criteria’ was imposed on 298 private schools built on Delhi Development Authority (DDA) land.
The Delhi High Court said the criterion are “arbitrary and discriminatory” and it benefited only those parents who live close to good private schools.
