Result of School Admission Guidance Survey 2011-12

Thanks to all who cooperated and gave some time from their busy schedule and completed this
survey. We will be sending this e-book to all completed survey.
We received thousands of responses from all over India.
Q 4. Share your experience with school already your child is studying in ( if any).
Most of the parents are satisfied but……some are changing schools…..
-School should maintain discipline in class & guide for real life
....the teachers are well qualified but not experienced...
-It's good but I'm looking for a better and economical school.
-teacher ratio is 45:1 and charge around 7 k but not worth it…
-The basic fundamental of the subjects not cleared, they are motivating towards other
curriculum activities than the study…
-students strength is high and teachers are not able to focus on each and every child.
-Good All round development but personal touch in activities missing totally
-good ward of teachers but they are somehow lacking personal care for proper grooming
towards a child's basic foundation.
- Its just the brand which is selling otherwise it lacks in minimum extracurricular activities
even. No class participation, only bookish academics, no competitive skilled being developed in
children. In nut shell for small children its not the right school because it does not help at all in
development of child's personality. Teachers are also not actuate with latest teaching methods.
very disappointed. Management does not listen and take action on parents suggestions.
-The school he is studying presently is good but has a very slow pace which is fine for an
average child, but since I know my child can do better so I feel he'll do better in some other
school.
-my son is studying in one of the reputed school of Delhi but I really don't like the callous and
apathetic behavior of the teachers there.

Parenting an art or science..

- Raji Vishwanathan, Director - Ascent Academy
“Life affords no greater responsibility, no greater privilege, than the raising of the next
generation.” C.Everett Koop
Parenting these days is a task in many ways because of the overwhelmingly advanced mind sets and ideas that
the new generation child portrays. This is inevitable because of the ever changing outlooks and personalities of
today’s generation and the fact that India, today, is becoming more broad-minded and with the exposure
children have to cable (satellite) television. We see a whirlwind of change in our young,
Tips of Good Parenting include the following points
1. Take time to connect with your child on various levels. Talk and listen to your child, try to understand
your kid’s point of view by putting yourself in his/her shows and being reasonable in your advice to
him/her
2. Be a good friend to your child as well as a reasonable parent. Be flexible in your outlook yet create good,
solid boundaries for your kids so that they can learn and grow with the right kind of discipline and rules
3. Follow certain guidelines yourself so that your kid can learn from practical viewing. For example: If the
toothpaste cover has to be shut after brushing and if that is one guideline in your home, then make sure
you follow it too. Another example is: If eating in front of the tv is not allowed, then you practice that
too by eating at the dining area and not in front of the television set
4. Be a star example for your kid. Often, kids look up to someone and make that person their Mentor. Be
that Mentor for your kid by being everything that they are in awe of or look up to. That is a sure-win
way to bring about a harmonious relation with your child or children
5. Encourage your child to develop the skills that he or she is interested in. Do not push your child into
something that you are interested for them to be or do. Let them cultivate their interests and encourage
them to do so.
6. Do not put your child down in front of other people. This cultivates a sense of disagreement and
discomfort in the kid’s mind and this calls for trouble.
7. Last of all, Be the best that you can be. You were a kid once too. Yes, Agreed that kids today are far
different from kids belonging to an earlier generation but still, deep down it takes easy steps and easy
methods to connect with a child’s heart and once you get there, you will find potential and beauty and all
things pure.
Being a role model has proved to be working perfectly. You just need to strive to achieve excellent positive
mental behavior. It speaks for itself. This is the actual starting point.
The act of discipline is good and even productive if it does not negate the issue in question and the appropriate
approach. You are said to achieve meaningful result if you can introduce the way out considered to be
positively motivating to them. No reasonable person will deliberately go the wrong way. Similarly we just need
to gradually show children the most rewarding direction and they will strive to maintain standard.
So, Dear Parents we wish you happy and joyous parenting.
Send your requirement of workshop for students, teachers, parenting etc.

TIME MANAGEMENT
– PRACTIAL APPLICATION & CONSTRAINTS
- Dr. S.S. Bansal
High Aim and Higher Achievements
Mission: Wandering Mind To Wondering Mind
• Executives seldom wait event to happen, they make events to happen

• Expert services in study of human behavior and social relations
• Synchronization, impaired concentration & learning work, systematic study
• Paper attempting techniques, marks orientation & other educational problems
There is no doubt about the fact that true education is never achieved by an accident. It comes as
a result of sustained dedication & sincere efforts, high dreams, wise counselling &
planned execution with positive optimistic approaches. On scrutiny of the results of CBSE
and other boards of so many states, it is concluded that besides the best efforts of schools,
matured tutors and parents, candidates scored less marks with respects to their expectations.
Symptoms & Causes concluded that students were not conversant with:
1. Synchronization
2. Time Management
3. Paper attempting techniques
4. Systematic & Sequential Preparations for Exams
5. Expecting quick results within short time span
6. Ambiguous target
7. Misconceptional attitudes
8. Prejudiced notions
9. Multi directional efforts
10. Lack of competitive spirits
11. Adoption of shortcut methods
12. Examination Phobia.
With the introduction of new C.C.E plus and MCQ techniques as new policy by HRD ministry the
impacts are not known so far, it becomes very very important to impart adequate knowledge and
practice to the newly introduced policy of education to get its objectives.
Since marks orientations required a tactful approach to score fixed target. But the students
generally adopt a multi directional approaches which cause among students Dementia -
forgetfulness, Fatigue- mental exhaustion, lack of confidence, weak memory and poor
grasping ability, slow learning and low intellect, behavior disorder, irritability, anxiety,
aggressiveness & stress. So it becomes mandatory to give stress on the fundamental & relevant
knowledge of the concept & application of proper time management from the beginning of
the session. Keeping the aptness of time & welfare of the students in view I wish to acumen &
share my knowledge and experiences through counselling session regarding the above sighted
problems faced by all concerned.
This session is very effective for ICSE, CBSE & All states Education Board Examination. In a
nutshell a mark orientation schedule comprising of time management synchronization,
impaired concentration, edifying the dearth of previous classes, target achievement
(how to set & get the target) impressive writing techniques & grading system.

There is great need of Career Counselling

-Dr. Ravindran
He is a renowned Counseling Psychologist, Career Counsellor and Counsellor- Trainer.
In an in depth interview he told so many things about career counselling. He has been
involved in counseling, counselor training and teacher education over two decades. He
is the man behind starting counseling programs for many reputed schools and other
educational institutions in the country.
Presently he holds many important positions in the field of counseling as well as education. He is Director
of Institute of Counselor Training, Research and Consultancy (ICTRC). He is also the Chief Mentor of
Eduexcel and Chief Consultant of The Helping Hand. Apart from this Dr.Ravindran is also associated with
N.C.E.R.T., CBSE, Kendriya Vidyalayas, Navodayas, UGC Academic Staff College A.M.U., Delhi Police
Foundation for De-addiction, National Institute of Criminology and Forensic Science, Government of J&K
and many more. Dr.Ravindran's contributions are not limited to students and educational institutions. He
is also associated with corporate houses like NTPC, Indian Oil Corporation, Maruti, and Hero Honda etc as
a trainer. Dr.Ravindran has committed his life for a single mission that is to bring the benefits of
counseling and guidance to every student in the country.
He spoke to S.S.Dogra ( Mg. Editor , Dwarka Parichay ) about career counselling concept in
India. Excerpts:
Q. What is the concept of Career Counseling in India?

Ans: In India Career counseling is still limited to providing career information. In the real sense Career
Counseling is helping the student in understanding himself, his abilities, aptitudes, interests and
personality and guiding him to choose a career in accordance with his strengths and limitations.
Q. Whether the parents are aware of it? Compare the ratio of rural as well as urban segment.
Ans.Only a very small segment of parents are aware of the concept of career counseling even in the urban
areas. In the rural areas it is almost negligible.
Q. Who are the much worried parents- Business class or service class or self-employed?
Ans: Mainly the service class parents are most worried or concerned about the career of their children.
Self-employed professionals are also much concerned. However, the Business class parents are not
seriously anxious, but want their children to have some qualifications and training which will enable them
to expand the family business.
Q. Who should seek career counseling, ie. At what standard, after 10th or 12th?
Ans.The students should get career counseling at least in class 10th because
after that they have to choose their subjects in class 11th. Otherwise the students will choose subjects
depending on the opinions of friends and relatives etc. which may not be scientific. They will need career
counseling again in class 12th to narrow down their options and make a final decision.
Q. What are the qualities of a good career counselor?

Ans: There is a lot of misinformation and misunderstanding on this topic. Now what is happening is, some
one who has read a few books on careers start calling himself a Career Counselor and begins to give
advice to students and parents as to what to do and what not to do. This is absolutely wrong. A Career
Counselor must have professional qualifications and training and experience. A Post Graduation (MA) in
Psychology and a Professional Diploma in student counseling is the best combination. However, a PG in a
related area like M.Ed., M.Sc. Child Development, M.S.W. plus a professional diploma in student
counseling will do. As regards the qualities of good counselor, there are many. He should be a patient
listener, empathetic, warm, well informed, impartial, and trustworthy and so on.
Q. What is the expectation of parents from the career counselor?

Ans This is a very general question. The expectations of parents vary depending on their level of
awareness. Some parents simply want the counselor to convince their children to select a career that the
parents think is the best for them. However, a small percentage of parents want the counselor to help
them to choose a career in accordance with their strengths and limitations.
Q. When a parent should take guidance from career counselor?

Ans: When the child is in class 9th or even 8th parents should start reading about careers and talk to
career counselors. This will make them well informed. At the time of subject selection after class 10th it is
desirable both parents and child visit a career counselor. Again when the child is in class 12th one more
visit to the counselor will be helpful. Moreover, whenever there is a conflict between the parents and child
about career choice the role of the career counselor is invaluable.
Q. What are the fees/charges of a career counselor?

Ans: The consultation charges of a career counselor vary depending on the qualifications, training,
experience and popularity of the career counselor. It will also depend on whether any psychological tests
are conducted or not. The charges may range from Rs.300/- to Rs.3000/-
Q. Name a few career counselors/ institutes who can guide the students.
Ans: This I cannot or will not do because I am not supposed to promote a particular individual or
institution.
Q.What is future of career counseling in India? What are the employment opportunities for a
career counselor?
Ans: Career Counseling has great future in this country. Job opportunities and self-employment
opportunities are unlimited for a professionally trained Career Counselor. There is a big shortage of
professionally trained Career Counselors in India. Unfortunately, the facilities for training are very limited.
The Govt. is doing what is possible. But it is like a drop in the ocean. The Organization that I am heading
now, ICTRC (Institute of Counselor Training, Research and Consultancy) was founded in the year 1992 to
fill the vacuum that existed in counselor training in this country. We are trying to equip the untrained
counselors as well as train new ones. We are also training teachers as counselors.
Q. Whether an Education/ Career Fair can shape / guide students for better career?
Ans: Majority of the Education/ Career Fairs are marketing gimmicks. Therefore, the information displayed
there are not impartial. However, students may visit these fares because it will widen their career
information horizon. But students should take their decisions only after proper thought. They should not
be carried away by the sales talk of the representatives of the institutions.
Q.What is the response of students about career counseling?

Ans: The response of students to career counseling is overwhelming. As a result of overload of
complicated information and lack of proper guidance students are baffled and confused. They need the
help of an impartial professional career counselor.
Q. How long have you been in this profession? What is your experience?
Ans: I have been involved counseling and counselor-training for more than two decades. My feeling is that
a lot more has to be done. There is a great need for creating awareness among students, parents,
teachers, administrators and authorities about the need and importance of Career Counseling.

What to do After 10+2 various career options
-S.S. Dogra
What is Career : In the modern age, Career planning is one of the most important issue in your
life, which needs no emphasis. It is important for two reasons firstly, whether you opt for a career
in jobs or prefer to be on your own. You will have to look for these options. Remember also that
these are days of specialization or we must say professionalism. Secondly, the new developments
due to information technology (IT) and globalisation of the economy, there are now more options
than ever before.
Path for Career Planning: Actually, appropriate time for making career starts at the age of 14-15
years when a student enters the Ninth Class itself. This the vital stage to shape a career.This is the
formative age to achieve much more important reason, however, is that it is after the 10 + 2 level
that a wide variety of course options are available to choose from. This means that as the first step
you will have to choose from the three streams viz., science, arts and commerce and the appropriate
combination of subjects, when you enter the 10+2 level. In this issue, we are giving some useful
information about career/job oriented courses and some useful contact address and details.

Why is it so hard for children to control themselves?

Dr. M. C. Jain
M. A. P.hD ( Psychology )
Consultant Psychologist
Self- control is not traditionally part of a child’s job description, but over the last 20 years ,
scientists have gathered a lot more information about why children are particularly prone to failures
of self-control, compared with adults.
Let us take an example of Sohan. He tends to do whatever comes into his mind, apparently without
pausing to think about the impact or result or consequences of his actions. Emotionally
unpredictable, his behavior is often atrocious-so bad, in fact that going out with him in public can
be a nightmare. His family says that he seems to have no “off” button. His manners are nonexistent,
he has the attention span of a gnat, and his reckless, confrontational behavior means he is
constantly getting himself into trouble. He displays a total disregard for rules and regulations, and
often comes across as selfish, boastful and immature.
Sohan cuts an unattractive figure. We have all come across children who behave like Sohan and if
we are honest, at times we can recognize elements of Sohan in even the most immaculately
behaved child. Sohan, however, is not a child. He is a 40year old adult and prior to a car accident
ten months ago; his personality and behavior were very different. He was a gentle, shy, cultivated
man, much loved by his friends and respected by his office colleagues. Sohan suffers from a
condition called orbito-frontal syndrome pattern of disinherited emotion and behavior caused by
damage to a particular part of his brain. Cases of brain injury such as Sohan’s have given
researchers invaluable insights into how the brain works and have been enormously helpful in
mapping how different areas of the brain relate to specific abilities. Interestingly, neuroscientists
have also discovered that the area of the brain damaged in Sohan’s case does not fully develop in
perfectly normal human beings until well into their teenage years.
In the language of cognitive psychology, the prefrontal cortex is the
command center for the “cool system “This is the counter part of the “hot system”. It seems that
our ability to exercise effective self –control depends upon the way these two systems interact. The
hot system is designed to produce rapid, automatic reaction to aspects of the environment that we
need to be attracted to or repelled by. Whereas the cool system gives us our ability to process more
complex aspects of the world. The cool system is rational, logical and trades in the currency of
information instead of high-octane emotion. Although functionally distinct, these two systems are
linked. In children, the cooling system takes time to evolve. A combination of fewer cool nodes and
poor connections with relevant hot spots tends to leave children at the mercy of their hot system
impulses.
TIPS FOR MOTIVATION

Geeta
Motivation is the characteristic that helps you achieve your goal. It is the drive that pushes you to work
hard and reach whatever it is that you are after. It is the energy that gives you the strength to get up and
keep going - even when things are not going your way.
Motivation can be intrinsic or extrinsic (internal and external) - With extrinsic motivation, you are
motivated by rewards from an external source - you will be inspired by the recognition that you will get
from external sources. Intrinsic motivation is something internal - you are motivated to reach your goal
for your own internal benefits - Example - reading a book so that you can get the grade you are after
versus reading a book so that you can learn something.
Intrinsic motivation is better than extrinsic motivation. But for many finding intrinsic motivation is not
easy - it has to come from inside out. But once you get it, intrinsic motivation is much more powerful than
the extrinsic.
Positive Motivation is where the focus is on what you want to achieve. You know where you're going. It is
the result of positive thinking and will cause a sustained progress towards your goal. Holding the image of
your goal in your thoughts will attract the inspiration needed to get you there. Its effect is strong and
consistent and the results achieved are prolonged and steady.
Negative Motivation can best be described as wanting to get away from an existing condition. A good
example is someone that has grown up in poverty and will do anything to not fall into it again. This is a
strong motivation and can be an effective "Kick Start" but the results it achieves are markedly different
from those of Positive Motivation. The effect can often be likened to a roller coaster ride. A classic example
is the countless millionaires who make their fortunes and lose them time and time again. This type of
motivation lacks the sustained results that come from Positive Motivation.
Self-motivation is a continuing process and the only way we become better and stronger is to create a few
mistakes along the way and also face a few setbacks. In essence, you must take a specific sum of risk
because it is the fantastic occasions and the bad that forces us to a better person.
The thing with us Personal Development types is, we're always talking about creating our best life.
We know that success is represented by different things for different people, but society teaches us that
success is typically about money, position, attractiveness, power and influence There is are actually three
effective ways on how you can easily motivate yourself and get things done easily.
First thing to remember, it is important to stay focused. Keep focused not on your things that you are
facing with, but focus on the reward of that task once it has already been completed. Now, wouldn't that
be much better if we know there is something waiting for us after completing that task? That is a pretty
good motivation to think of. Keep your attention on your work and on your work alone - through this it will
further help you to motivate yourself in completing the work rather than saving it for later.
Secondly, make sure that it is clear to you why you wanted to finish those things done. Preserve a clear
vision of what you want. Visualize your wanted output and keep that in mind not until you are not yet
done with the work. It is important that you are clear with the reason and you will simply get the
motivation that you need.
And lastly, establish a daily habit in completing the things that needs to be done. Do the important tasks
during a particular time every day. Make sure that you would only do important tasks during that time
that you have set. Discipline yourself to follow to your own schedule, as motivation itself would always
come with self-discipline below are great self motivation tips that are sure to help you become more active
and productive every day.
Tips for Motivation

Know what you want to do and what you want to achieve, be it a long-term or a short-term goal. Make
sure they are achievable. Write them down and post it on your wall where you can see it every morning.
Make it a habit to read them out loud. Visualize them and share them with your friends.
Get yourself an accountability partner / coach.
Share your dreams, plans and goals with your coach, create a realistic action plan and then get busy.
Create a to-do list and do the stuff you've been avoiding, first.
Consciously avoid making excuses.
When you feel an excuse climbing up onto your tongue... give yourself an uppercut.
Have something to look forward to when you wake up each morning. Think of the happy and good things
that are going to happen on that day. Doing this will surely set your mood and mindset for the rest of the
day.
Discover the best way to motivate yourself. Different people have different personalities and preferences.
You just have to experiment and find out what gets you into action. You can get out and breathe some
fresh air. You can play your favourite music as you do your early morning routine. You can think of a
person that inspires you the most or probably a movie you have seen.
Think less, do more.
Thinking and planning is great... but we should not over-think.
Before going to bed, think of the great things that happened during the day. Never ponder on bad things
as these will only keep you awake the whole night. Good sleep leads to good outlook the following
morning. It will also keep you from waking up in a bad mood.
Stop looking for easy and start doing effective.
Visualize the result once the job is done. Just imagine the wonderful feeling you will have once your
goals are achieved. Push yourself harder and focus on the positive results of what you are trying to reach.
Nothing can beat the feeling of pride, satisfaction, and relief
Remember... if nothing changes (attitudes, decisions, behaviours), nothing changes (reality).

Basic purpose of education is the total

development of human personality
[The excerpt taken from address by Most Revered Swami Gahananandaji Maharaj
delivered/read out during the inauguration of Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda
Educational and Research Institute at Belur Math. Most Revered Swami
Gahananandaji Maharaj served as 14th President of the Ramakrishna Order]
Nearly a hundred years ago Swami Vivekananda showed the close connection between culture and
education. Wherever there is a great culture, you will find behind it, a highly developed system of
education. Ancient India could produce a great culture because it developed a wonderful system of
education.
In those days, people took education seriously. In the Taittiriya Upanishad, we find a discussion on what
true tapas is. The opinion of the Vedic Rishi is: "swadhyaya pravacana eva-eti" - "study and teaching
alone" constitute true tapas. Education itself is the best tapas, that is, the best form of human
effort.
According to Swami Vivekananda, the basic purpose of education is the total development of
human personality. Everyone is endowed with certain capacities, which remain dormant, although in a
potential form, in childhood. Swami Vivekananda believed education is the process by which these
inherent potentialities in human personality manifest themselves in completing his or her total
development.
This total development of human personality includes intellectual and moral development. Most of the
present day school and college curriculum only aim at intellectual development. It is in this field that
western science, technology and commerce have attained tremendous success.
Science is systematic pursuit of knowledge at empirical level. The scientific method gives a very good
training to the mind. It was by applying the scientific method that western countries made tremendous
advancement in technology and acquired great wealth and power.
Swami Vivekananda was one of the first among religious teachers to understand the importance of science
and technology. In the first place, Swamiji saw that poor countries like India would be able to overcome
poverty and backwardness only by mastering technology. Secondly, Swamiji saw that science is not
contradictory to the eternal spiritual principles, which is the foundation of Indian culture. Both Science
and eternal religion are concerned with truth. Science seeks truth in the physical world, whereas
religion seeks truth in the spiritual realm. Thus, religion and science are complementary.
The other primary purpose of education is to build character and to enable people to lead moral
lives. However, this is precisely the field where most of the modern systems of education have failed.
Swami Vivekananda has given a new definition of morality. To quote his words, "The only definition
that can be given of morality is this: that which is selfish is immoral, and that which is unselfish
is moral". For Swamiji unselfishness and service are not mere matters of rules and regulations but of
reality. If God dwells in all beings as the Supreme Self, if every man is potentially divine, then to serve
God in man or man as God is the best form of worship. To quote Swamiji's own words: "It is a privilege
to serve mankind, for this is the worship of God. God is here in all these human souls. He is the
soul of man." (C.W.I. 424)

Nursery Admission in the Private Schools of Delhi

Report
1. Introduction
The admission process to nursery classes has been the subject of much controversy in recent years.
Private unaided schools, in particular, have come under critical scrutiny for their admission procedures.
This issue has been agitating the minds of educationists, parents, jurists and all those concerned with the
education of young children as to how the trauma and tension associated with the admission process can
be eliminated and a child - friendly method evolved.
1.1 The rapidly growing Indian economy has led to accelerated upward mobility of different sections of the
population. This trend, in its turn, has created greater awareness among people about the quality
dimension of school education along with higher levels of aspiration. In an educational set up
that is divided between a fast-growing private sector participation and a much larger public or state
sector, the issue of quality assumes great complexity. There is a widely prevalent belief that many
of the state-run schools are not always as good as several of the private schools, particularly in
urban areas. Also the distribution of private schools is very uneven and there has been no
systematic school mapping done. All these factors have contributed to a phenomenal increase in the
demand for admission to ‘quality’ schools.
1.2 In this context the craze for admission to private schools that are perceived
as better options by the parents has created an anomalous situation where the number of applicants far
exceeds the number of seats available in these schools. However the demand exceeding the supply is not
noticed uniformly in all private schools nor is the pressure for admission of the same magnitude in all
such schools. While some very well established and reputed private schools receive, on the average, ten
times the applications against the number of seats available, there are also many small and newly
established private schools which do not receive even the minimum number of applications for the
available seats. Concurrently there are a number of government-run schools that command respect from
the parents and hence are in great demand also.
1.3 But since such quality institutions in the government sector, both Central and State run, are few in
number and as their admission norms and procedures do not favour the middle and affluent classes and
those in private employment, this category of parents are compelled to seek admission in un-aided
private schools for their children. Since children admitted in the nursery class of a private school can
continue in the same school till they complete their senior secondary course, admission at this entry
point becomes crucial for many parents. All these years the private schools of Delhi have been
following their own admission procedure for nursery classes.
1.4 The admission procedures for these very young children between the ages of 3.5 and 5 years often
consist of written/oral selection test for children, interview of children, and interview of/interaction with
parents. Criteria such as siblings, neighbourhood concept, alumni, profession and educational
qualifications of parents are also included by some schools in their admission criteria for short listing of
candidates. As there is no common admission procedure for all the private schools of Delhi, each
school has been using its own discretion in formulating a procedure and implementing it for selecting
children for admission to nursery classes. In doing so, there have often been complaints that procedures
used are not transparent and equitable and as a result, many parents felt unfairly treated. Since so much
of the future of their children was at stake, these feelings have a legitimacy of their own.
1.5 The proposal to eliminate interviews/observations of children and interaction with parents is a step in the
right direction. The process of interview subjects the tiny tots to a lot of tension and anxiety. Further, if
they are not selected after attending the interview, they experience a sense of rejection which is
contrary to all sound educational principles. There is potential in every child and it is the school’s
and society’s responsibility to draw out this potential and look to the healthy growth and development of
every child including those with special needs and the economically or
socially deprived sections bearing in mind the value of inclusivity in education.
1.6 If children are not to be interviewed, what are the alternative methods of selection? This question
received considerable attention of the committee. The obvious alternatives that emerged from different
interest groups were ‘First Come, First Served’ and lottery system. The former may work in small
schools where the enrolment as well as demand are small. But it is not feasible in established schools
because it results in chaos and confusion with parents queuing up all night to be first in the queue.
Further this method may not help in having a good mix of students in the classroom.
1.7 The lottery system may, on the face of it, seem the most transparent of selection methods, giving
everyone an equal chance for admission. But the concept of gaining entry into an academic institution
through a lottery system, based on gamble and luck, that too at the very beginning of a child’s school
life is quite unacceptable to a vast majority of people. Further, selecting children solely on the basis of
draw of lots may result in lopsided distribution of seats. However, the committee is of the view that the
method of draw of lots may become necessary in certain situations for the short listing of students
particularly to break the tie at the last stage.
1.8 Keeping all these considerations in view the committee came to the conclusion that the alternative
method should be based on many relevant and appropriate criteria and it should have sufficient
flexibility so that schools would be able to adapt it according to their contexts and need.
2. Directive of Hon’ble Delhi High Court
It is against this background that the order of the Hon’ble Delhi High Court in LPA No. 196/2004
assumes immense significance. The three important aspects of the above order are as follows:
1. A committee of experts in education has been constituted by the Hon’ble Delhi Court. This
committee has been directed to go into the entire gamut of issues relating to nursery admission in
the private schools of Delhi comprehensively and submit its report to the Court by 17th October,
2006.
2. The committee has been asked by the court to give a hearing to the Counsels appearing in this case
on behalf of different petitioners and examine their suggestions before drafting its report.
3. The order of the court has enumerated the following three basic criteria for evolving a common
admission procedure:
• The entire process leading to the admission of tiny tots should be
transparent.
• The system of interview should be eliminated.
• Discretion of the Management/Principal is minimized.
2.1 In the discharge of the responsibility entrusted to the committee we situated ourselves to understand
fully the context in which the honourable court found it necessary to intervene and set up this committee
to go into the details of the issue comprehensively and come up with suitable solutions. So we have
divided our presentation in three parts:
• The first part deals with the multiple contexts that obtain in Delhi, giving a brief background of the
main issues involved in nursery admission. This part also contains the procedure adopted by the
committee to collect feedback from different stakeholders.
• The second part gives a brief outline of certain policy perspectives that have a bearing on the
admission process.
• The third part attempts to offer solutions in the face of the diversity of contexts and at the same time
keeping in view the basic directives from the honourable court which we have mentioned earlier.
Part – I
3. In our effort to evolve a common, rational admission process that takes into account all parameters, we
interviewed those persons whom the court had mentioned and also invited representations from
associations of schools. We also invited comments from parents both through website and through
other means within a short time span.
3.1 The committee decided to invite representatives to receive their explanatory comments and suggestions.
The following people met the committee in this regard:
1. Mr. Ashok Agarwal, Advocate for parents and Social Jurist.

2. Mr. Rakesh K. Khanna, Counsel representing National Progressive Schools’ Council and Action
Committee.
3. Mr. S.K. Bhattacharya representing Action Committee and Bal Bharti Public Schools.
4. Mr. S.C. Baveja, Joint Secretary, Child Education Society.
5. Mr. Sunil Salwan, Counsel representing Shriram Foundation and Salwan Education Trust.
6. Mr. Kuljit Rawal, Counsel representing Montford School.
7. Mr. Puneet Mittal, Advocate for D.P.S. Society.
8. Mr. A.S. Pasrich, Counsel for the Nursery Schools.
9. Mrs.Manju Bharatram, Chairperson, Shriram Group of Schools .
3.2 Letters were also sent to the following people who had appeared in the case, inviting their suggestions
and comments:
1. Mr. V.K. Tandon, Counsel for NCT of Delhi.

2. Mr. Rakesh Aggarval, Advocate for Mirambika School.
Besides the above persons, we had also sought suggestions from educationists, school associations
and parents through website and other modes of communication. The Committee also examined the
representations submitted by Mrs. Rajni Kumar, Director, Springdales School and the Independent
Schools’ Federation of India.
3.3 The salient points contained in the suggestions and comments of these representatives and stakeholders
are summarized below:
• By and large, most of the respondents have agreed that interview of children and interaction with
parents should be eliminated from the admission procedure. However, a few have argued that
informal observation of children in stress-free conditions would be helpful in ascertaining the needs
of children as well as their motor development and language skills. Similarly, they have suggested
that informal interaction with parents should also be allowed to know their values and what they
expect from the school as well as to verify the authenticity of information given in the registration
forms.
• Neighbourhood concept figures prominently and frequently in the suggestions. Most of the
respondents are also in favour of giving staggered weightage to the neighbourhood concept,
maximum weightage being given to the children living nearest to the school and moving gradually to
farther areas. An outside limit of 10 km has been suggested by many.
• Preference to siblings and alumni is also strongly recommended by almost all the persons who have
responded.
• A majority of the representatives were not in favour of selecting children solely through lottery
system though a few have suggested it for breaking ties at the last stage of short listing where there
are too many applicants.
• That the classroom and school should reflect the diversity in the
composition of the society is a recurrent opinion in the suggestions received. It has been
recommended by many that to achieve this aim, proportional representation may be given to
different sections of society on the basis of certain criteria like parents from different professions,
from different socio cultural and economic backgrounds etc. It may be worked out on a pro-rata
basis.
• Educational qualification of parents has also received considerable attention from the stakeholders.
It is argued that by encouraging educational status of parents, the policy directive would send a clear
message about the important role that parents play in the education and development of their
children. This empowerment and growth support takes place through the educational status of both
the father and mother. Many are of the view that weightage under this criterion should be given
separately for mother and father. In the case of single parents, weightage could be doubled.
• Consideration to children with special needs and girl children has also been recommended by many
respondents.
• A small percentage of seats has been suggested to be given at the discretion of the school
management.
• One of the respondents has made a proposal based on a 100-point marking to give weightage to
listening skills, motor development, speech etc. A separate marking on the registration form was
also proposed giving weightage of 100 points for different criteria like distance, educational
qualification of parents, profession of parents, sibling criterion, alumni category etc. Another
representative of a group of schools has also suggested a scale of 1 to 100 with weightage points
distributed for different criteria with a provision for representation for professionals, business
persons, parents working in private sector and parents working in government sector.
3.4 Apart from the above suggestions, a good number of ideas were received from parents through e-mail.
A summary of these ideas is given below:
• The most effective check to curb malpractices by public schools is to follow the neighbourhood
system.
• Siblings of children who are already studying in a school should be automatically admitted.
• Children of the staff of the school should get admission automatically.
• Children of alumni should get weightage in the admission process.
• 50% of seats should go to management, siblings, alumni and children
of transferable employees of public sector undertakings and government organizations. The
remaining 50% of seats should go to the general category including children from the economically
and socially weaker sections.
• Interview of parents and children should be strictly avoided and irrelevant personal details should
not be asked in the registration form.
• All schools should follow a common schedule of admission and a common uniform Registration
Form.
• Schools could have 10% quota at their discretion and admit those whom they choose to.
• Lottery system is unfair because it will not ensure a mixed socio-economic group of children in a
classroom. (Though a few have made a strong case for draw of lots to decide admissions wherever
the number of applicants is more than the seats available.)
• First-come-first-served will not be suitable as it will lead to many unhealthy practices. (However
some parents have argued that it would eliminate discretion of school management.)
• Delineate a fixed number of parameters like sibling, proximity, educational qualification of parents
etc. Then schools will define certain percentages for each category and then give admission on the
basis of such a categorization.
3.5 In addition, many parents have suggested that the criteria for admission, the time schedule starting from
distribution of registration form upto final admission and other relevant details about the school’s
infrastructure, fee structure including various categories of fees payable, faculty, special facilities
available, scope for the special needs of challenged children, past performance in different areas, etc.,
should be put up on the notice board, school’s website and printed in the prospectus.
Part – II
4. Some Policy Directives that have a Bearing on Nursery Admission

• Chapter XII, Clause 132 of Delhi School Education Act, 1973:
Admission test not to be held by aided schools – Save as otherwise provided in this chapter, no aided
school shall hold any test for admission to any class except with the written approval of the Director.
Provided that nothing in this rule shall prevent the holding of tests for the admission to any class
higher than class I of such candidates as have not studied in any recognized school prior to their
seeking admission.
• Chapter XII Clause 145
Admission to recognized unaided schools –
1. The head of every recognized unaided school shall regulate
admissions to a recognized unaided school or to any class thereof either on the basis of
admission test or on the basis of result in a particular class or school.
2. Subject to the provision of sub rule (1), the provisions of this chapter shall, so far as may be,
apply to admission to a recognized unaided school as they apply to admission to an aided school.
When read together the above clauses clearly stipulate that admission on the basis of admission
test or marks is permitted only to any class higher than class I.

Admission to class I or KG whichever is the Initial class in all Government Sarvodaya
Vidyalayas – Instructions thereof.
3. Wards of parents residing within a radius of 3 kms. of the school will be eligible for registration
of their wards for admission.
___________________________________________________________
4.1 Neighbourhood Schools
It seems appropriate here to explain the rationale behind neighbourhood school concept because many
stakeholders including parents have come out strongly in favour of ‘Common’ or ‘Neighbourhood
Schools’ while framing a policy for nursery admission. It also has a logic because it will promote
heterogeneous school population which will enrich the learning environment. It will also promote social
integration. The concept of ‘Neighbourhood Schools’ was enunciated by the Education Commission
(1964-66) which recommended adoption of the ‘Neighbourhood School Concept’ first at the lower
primary stage and then at the higher primary. The National Policy on Education 1986 reiterated this
view.
Successive Education Committees have emphasized the need for making the school and the classroom
truly reflective of the society’s diversity. The National Curriculum Framework 2005 also lays emphasis
on the need to deal with the ‘metaphorical triangle’ of equality, quality and quantity. The
neighbourhood school concept can be used as an effective instrument for achieving excellence and
equity simultaneously. Children at the tender age of 3+ years should have access to schools in their own
localities, so that they are not forced to commute a long distance to attend school.
The committee gave considerable thought to the neighbourhood concept and came to the conclusion that
it could be adopted as one of the criteria with some flexibility to provide for the uneven distribution of
schools in different localities of Delhi. Further, in the absence of a systematic school mapping in the
capital, it is not advisable to establish a very restrictive pattern in terms of
distance. So a small beginning can be made in this regard with admission at the nursery class and the
committee would like to suggest that a road map for common school system may be developed for
implementation over a period of ten years in the entire spectrum of ten years of schooling. It was also
decided that, to begin with, there should be at least a 10 km radius as the outer limit with a staggered
weightage point scale. The area closest to the school would get maximum weightage and as the distance
from the school increases the weightage would decrease. Though no weightage would be given for
children who come from beyond 10 km, their registration forms, however, would be accepted by the
school for consideration.
4.2 Sibling Category
When siblings go to the same school, there is considerable advantage and convenience to the children as
well as to the parents. The elder child can be a source of support, guidance and protection for the
younger child. The common schedule of buses, school timings, holidays and school functions also helps
parents in planning their routines and outings. Many parents have also suggested that siblings should be
admitted automatically. Keeping these aspects in mind the committee has included Sibling Category as
an important criterion for awarding weightage.
4.3 Alumni Category
Well-established schools that have been in existence for many years have a number of alumni who
desire that their children should also study in the same school. Besides the emotional attachment,
parents who cherish the value system, ethos and vision of their alma mater would like to give these
benefits to their children also. Further, the schools have a special responsibility towards the children of
their old students whose life, in a way, was shaped by the schools in which they studied. So the
committee has provided for alumni as a separate category with weightage to be given to father and
mother individually, if they are alumni of the school.
4.4 Children with Special Needs
This is an age of inclusive education. Every educational institution has to strive to provide appropriate
educational service to all types of children. It is no longer valid to argue that children with special needs
have to go to special schools. Such children learn better when they are mainstreamed. Other children
also cherish the experience of studying with a heterogeneous peer group and such an experience is very
enriching for them. However, every school may not have the facilities and the expertise to cater to all
children with special needs. Depending on their own contexts and capacities, schools can offer some
weightage to children with special needs. For this purpose the committee
has proposed a separate criterion of ‘Children with Special Needs’ without specifying the types of such
needs – they may include physically challenged, visually challenged, dyslexic children, children
suffering from autism etc.
4.5 Girl Child
The importance of promoting the education of the girl child needs to be emphasized. Even today there
is a widespread gender bias against the girl child. Only preferential option will enable the girl child to
take her rightful place in society. Keeping this in mind the committee has decided to keep Girl Child as
a criterion for award of weightage. This provision will help in moving towards equal ratio of boys and
girls in the classroom and in the school.
4.6 Educational Qualification of Parents
The Committee discussed the issue of allotting weightage to parents according to their educational
qualification. The mandate of the Committee to suggest a common procedure for admission to nursery
classes is restricted to the unaided private schools of Delhi. Children who seek admission in these
schools are mostly from homes of educated parents. Having taken a stand that the admission should, in
no case, be based on interview of children and interaction with parents, the Committee finds its
necessary to look at alternative objective criteria to distinguish between parents, most of whom belong
to the educated section of Delhi. A logical solution lies in allocating weightage on a differential scale
for the various levels of educational qualification of parents. In proposing this criterion the Committee is
not taking an elitist view. Moreover there is already a proposal to provide a separate quota for the
economically and socially backward sections of society. This provision would also take care of the
needs of the children of educationally deprived parents. Reflecting this concern, the Committee is
recommending in the subsequent section that schools could give weightage to the children of
disadvantaged groups and underprivileged sections of society under school-specific criteria.
By giving weightage to parental educational qualification, the committee felt that it would send a strong
message that educated parents create effective learning environment at home, thereby becoming partners
with the school in the task of empowering the children and building their character. Further, educated
parents also contribute to the higher motivation of their children in matters of learning and development.
Besides providing guidance to their children, educated parents can play a proactive role in helping the
school improve qualitatively by their informed opinions and feedback on the policies and programmes
of the institution. So weightage has been given for parents’ educational qualification.
4.7 School Specific Criteria
The framework for admission process should have an inbuilt mechanism for flexibility to enable each
school to adapt it according to its context and local requirements. Without such a provision the
admission procedure may end up as a strait jacket, becoming self-defeating and counter productive.
Schools, as responsible partners with parents over an extended period of 12-14 years, should have the
freedom to specify their own philosophy, value systems, specific needs and then decide on certain
parameters for admission. However schools have to fix such parameters and declare them on their
website and notice Board and print them in their prospectus and registration form. It will enable parents
to fill in the relevant details in the registration forms under this category besides making the process
completely transparent. This will also help the parents to make an appropriate choice of school for their
children.
It would be advisable for schools to identify one or more criteria under this section and demarcate
weightage for each. An illustrative list of examples has been provided in the section dealing with
‘admission procedure’. Schools may add to this list or change the criteria according to their needs and
requirement. They may also allocate weightage for children of underprivileged section, as mentioned in
the preceding section.
There is a wide variety of schools set up in Delhi, each with its own specific characteristics, obligations
and client groups. Thus some schools cater to those from the armed forces and have the mandate to
provide admission to that category of children. It will not be fair to make these schools change their
admission priorities completely since they have specific obligations. These schools can give all the
weightage under school specific criteria to children of parents who they have been mandated to serve in
the first place. So in the case of this category of schools the weightage need not be further broken down
under more than one parameter as has been recommended for other schools.
There are also schools established and run by religious or linguistic minorities under Article 30 (1) of
the Constitution. The freedom to administer and, in this instance, to admit children of the minority to
the school, remains safeguarded.
4.8 Weightage Points

The Committee thus decided to devise a method and assigned criteria by which each applicant can be
assessed on a scale by giving weightage points under different heads as mentioned above. Since
weightage points are clearly indicated, the applicant can himself/herself do the marking and count the
total, before handing over the form back to the school. The school can
then display the entire list along with cut off points, in a descending order of the weightage points.
Parents would find the exercise completely transparent, i.e. those who have got admission would know
how they have got it and those who are not able to get admission would also know why they have not
got it. It will introduce a good deal of both objectivity and transparency. The Committee felt that this
transparent way of assessment will also meet the demand of equity as well.
Part – III
Recommendations
5. After holding wide spread consultations with different stakeholders and critically examining the
suggestions and proposals that have been received, the Committee deliberated on the points raised in
order to arrive at specific recommendations. The Committee has kept in mind the need to find ways and
means to establish a fair and equitable way of conducting the admission procedures, maintaining
transparency and not subjecting the young child or the parents to unfair pressure or coercive practices.
The Committee makes the following recommendations:
5.1 General
• Schools shall completely eliminate interview of/interaction with children and parents. Similarly
there shall be no observation of children either in formal or informal conditions to decide their
admission.
• There would be no overall lottery system adopted to select/shortlist children for admission.
However, in the calculation of overall weightage points, as has been enumerated subsequently in this
part, if at any stage the number of applicants exceeds the number of available seats, limited use of
lottery system would be adopted from within the applicants at this stage to select children for
admission.
5.2 Pre Admission Procedure
In order to ensure complete transparency in the admission process schools should declare the following
particulars in the very beginning through website, school’s notice Board and prospectus:
a) Number of seats available for admission
b) Number of seats to be filled through general category, from disadvantaged/underprivileged groups,
if applicable and number of seats available under management quota, if any.
c) Dates, location and mode of distribution and receipt of registration
forms
d) Age group of children who are eligible to apply for the current academic session.
e) Information about the school’s infrastructural facilities, faculty, facilities available for children
with special needs, fee structure, past performance of the school in different fields etc.
• Schools may also declare, at least two weeks in advance, the dates from which the registration
forms for nursery classes will be distributed. Forms should be given to all those who wish to apply.
5.3 Registration Form
A standardized Registration Form is recommended for all the schools and the form may be suitably
adapted as per the particular needs of each school. The form has to be designed to elicit pertinent
answers from the parents but without asking irrelevant questions. No question should be asked
regarding social status or income or any other factor that might hurt the sentiments of parents. A
Suggested Registration Form for Admission is given in Annexure – 1.
• In order to ensure that parents provide true and authentic information in the registration form,
schools may ask all the parents seeking admission for their children to give an undertaking declaring
that the information provided by them to the school in the registration form is based on facts and
authentic records and that in the event of the school discovering any discrepancy in the particulars
provided by the parents, the admission of their children would be summarily rejected and the school
would have the freedom to legally proceed against such parents. ( A clause can also be added in the
admission form that the parents understand and accept that providing false information will result in
cancellation of admission)
• Schools would scrutinize the registration forms to verify the details and other particulars filled up by
parents. No documents need to be submitted at the time of submission of forms. However the
documents have to be furnished at the time of admission. The list of supporting documents to be
produced by the parents at the time of admission is given in Annexure – 2.
5.4 Admission Committee
In order to make the admission process transparent and participatory, it is necessary that an Admission
Committee under the Chairmanship of the Principal of the school is constituted in each school. Since
parents are partners in providing good education, it is recommended that representatives of Parents who
are in the School Managing Committee, should be included in this committee. Accordingly the
committee will have the following members:
- Two Parent representatives in the School Managing Committee
- Headmaster of the School/Incharge of the primary section
Functions of the Admission Committee
• Overall monitoring of the admission process

• Conducting the draw of lots, wherever it is required, in a transparent manner in front of parents and
all the members of the admission committee
• Ensuring that the norms and criteria specified for the admission are objectively applied to determine
the admission.
• Ensuring that the time schedule and other stipulation in the admission procedure are faithfully
adhered to.
• Attending to complaints, if any in an impartial manner and taking remedial/corrective measures.

Total Points :
Before moving further, it was felt that an actual application, in field condition, would give more credibility to
the proposed recommendations. So, from the list of applicants to one of the unaided private schools of Delhi, a
random sample of thousand applications for the 2005-06 academic year were taken out and the proposed matrix
was applied to make the selection of students. The Committee came up with the detailed results for 100
available seats in the school, the details of which are given in Annexure –3.
• On the basis of the total number of seats available, the school would denote the cut off point by preparing
the list of all registered children in a descending order of points secured and display the entire list. The
admission would be done purely on the basis of the merit list prepared by the above predetermined points.
In doing so, there is a possibility that in some schools there may be more children than the seats still
remaining at the last stage/last cut off point. In order to decide the admission at this stage, a draw of lots on
a limited scale has to be conducted in the presence of the admission committee and the parents. As the
lottery would be between a small number of students and as it would be for children having the same
weightage point, there would be both fairness and justice. The date, time and place for the draw of lots
should be put up on the notice Board and the school’s website for the information of parents.
• In order to decide the points to be given under neighbourhood concept, every school should identify clearly
demarcated areas in the school’s neighbourhood and indicate them in the Registration Form according to the
distance specifications with weightage points for each distance zone. An example is given below:
0-3 km XYZ colony, KYZ Nagar – 20 points

Above 3 km upto 5 km SDS Enclave, RLT Colony – 16 points
Above 5 km upto 8 km ABC Nagar, EFG Road – 12 points
Above 8 km upto 10 km JKL Colony, MNO Vihar – 08 points
5.8 Special Category Schools
There are schools that are catering mainly to the educational needs of the children of armed forces and
paramilitary forces. Such schools will follow the policy norms criteria laid down for admission of the
children of the personnel whom they are serving now. For the remaining general category, they will
follow the above–mentioned point system. For minority schools established under Article 30 (1) of the
Constitution, the freedom to administer and admit children remains safeguarded.
5.9 Payment of Fees and Refund
• Sufficient time should be given for the parents to pay the fees.
• Admission and other fees should be collected only from parents whose children have been given
admission. In case any fee is collected from a parent whose child is denied admission subsequently
on valid grounds, the entire fee except the registration fee collected from the parent should be
refunded and receipt obtained.
6. Discretion
(i) The committee recommends that 10% of the total seats available in a school may be left
to the discretion of the management. The number of seats to be filled under management quota must
also be made public before the admission process commences. Even for the management
quota, the children have to be registered with the school in the stipulated period.
(ii) The children of the staff also have a claim for admission to the school. Hence, in deciding
on the total number, this should also be kept in sight or they can be given admission automatically
as supernumerary seats.
7. Review
The common admission procedure as recommended by the committee may be adopted initially for a
period of three years. During this period, feedback from different stakeholders may be examined to
review and refine the procedure.
8. Suggestions
The above recommendations apply to the nursery admission procedures. However, since there are larger
issues involved in the area of educational provision by government and private agencies, which are
directly connected with the issue of regulation of nursery admissions, the Committee feels that there is a
necessity for a long-term equitable solution to the problem of quality educational provision in the Delhi
NCT. It can be said with a fair degree of assurance that several Delhi schools provide education of very
high quality. Side by side, there are also a very large number of schools which do not provide even a
basic minimum of worthwhile education. The National Education Policy of 1986 stressed the need to
focus on those at the top and at the same time to cater to the needs of those at the base of pyramid.
Hence the Committee would like to place the following suggestions for the consideration of appropriate
authorities:
(i) The concept of neighbourhood schools will succeed only if all the schools including
government-run schools provide education of comparable quality. In this knowledge-intensive
society and where competence is a non-negotiable requirement, this long-neglected sector needs
urgent remedial measures. The committee suggests that efforts should be made by authorities
and schools in a short time frame to improve the quality of education provided by the
government schools in Delhi. This will help in changing the popular perception that government
schools are not as good as some private schools and thereby putting great pressure on the private
schools.
(ii) We have put a good deal of stress to promote the policy of neighbourhood schooling. But it will
not work on its own, unless and until the average school in the neighbourhood is a good school, a
school of quality. That is why it is essential that a major effort is made to improve the quality of
the Government Schools. There is also uneven distribution of schools in different localities of
Delhi at present and this calls for a rational approach to implement the neighbourhood approach.
Systematic and accurate school mapping of different educational zones of Delhi and the
establishment of new schools in zones where there are only a few would immensely help in
supporting the operationalization of the neighbourhood policy. Further, private initiatives with
affordable cost should be encouraged to establish quality schools in areas that have low
concentration of schools or which are unserved. This will then ensure quality school education
in all parts of Delhi.
