New Delhi: The Delhi High Court today lifted the stay on nursery admissions done before the February 27 notifications thus ending the prolonged uncertainty for thousands of parents.
Nursery admissions have been fraught with chaos for the past few years but this time, the process has dragged the longest, with multiple hold-ups and confusion. In fact, over the last month, the admission process has been stalled at least four times.
There were several petitions in court over the last few weeks, and the court had scrapped the transfer point system after some parents had alleged fake transfers and ordered a fresh draw for the 70 point category.
Schools have been following a 95-point system to admit children - 70 points for proximity to the school, 20 for a sibling already in the school and five for children of parents who are alumni.
The High Court had last week said nursery admissions would remain on hold till its decision. It had also asked the Department of Education to submit all data related to admissions in the form of an affidavit.
