A proposal to centralize the nursery admission process from the next academic year i.e 2018-2019 has been put forward by the Delhi Government in order to streamline admissions, increase transparency and make it hassle-free for parents. It will enable parents to apply to their schools of choice through a single online platform without stepping on the toes of private schools.

 system will cover all 1,700 city schools recognized by the Directorate of Education. 

These include schools on DDA land, which have taken the government to court over its neighborhood criteria for nursery admissions, calling it an attack on their autonomy. The government has filed an appeal seeking stay on the high court's interim order, issued on February 14.

Atishi Marlena, adviser to the education minister said that they are following what the HC has ordered right now. Once the case is decided, the criteria settled upon will be embedded in the centralised system.

In the new system, parents will be asked to register on the DoE website, following which they will be redirected to the admission form. The basic information (child's name, age, parent details) for all schools will remain the same and be filled on the common form. Once that is done, parents will get to choose the schools of their interest on a map and respective separate school criteria will be displayed on that form.

For example, if a parent chooses three schools on the map, the online admission form will display three sets of criteria submitted to the DoE by the respective schools. Marlena said that they will get the schools to give them their criteria and create a database. Then that information will be used to create separate algorithms for the schools. Once completed, the parents will be given a tally of their scores earned for each school applied to, for their own record.

Although getting the technical systems ready to support the proposal might take time, the government wants the schools to start uploading their criteria details by April this year, so that the system is up and running for use in January . Marelna said that they want to make sure there are no delays in admissions next year.
