The nursery admission process in the national capital for the academic session 2019-20 will begin from December 15 which will cover around 1,600 private schools. From this year, the government is imposing an upper age limit bar, the online application process will be closed on January 7, 2019, as per the schedule released by Delhi government's Directorate of Education (DoE). The government has set an upper age limit of less than four years to be eligible for nursery, less than five years for kindergarten, and less than six years for admission to Class 1. The proposal for an upper age limit was challenged in court last year. Though a Delhi High Court order last year had allowed the imposition of the upper age limit, the DoE had decided that the order will be applicable only from 2019 academic session, reported by PTI.
