Parents seeking admission under the EWS category are confused if the admission process will go digital or stay manual.

The admission process under EWS/DG category was made online and centralised. Private schools in the city reserve 25% seats for children belonging to this category.

New Delhi: With the nursery admission process in the national capital being mired in confusion and chaos, the most affected are the parents and children eligible to apply for the Economically Weaker Section (EWS)/ Disadvantaged Group (DG) category. 

Parents seeking admission under the EWS category, with annual income less than Rs 1 lakh, are confused if the admission process will go digital or stay manual. Whereas, parents applying under the DG category (SC/ST/OBC, physically challenged/orphan) have no idea about the documents required for the process. “I went to the school with the OPD papers from the doctor. But the school said that they couldn’t admit my child because as per DoE guidelines they need a disability certificate which I was not even aware about. I don’t understand why the DoE is being so strict,” said a parent.
