Eligibility Criteria & Admission Process for Nursery Schools in Delhi

School admissions in Delhi, especially for Nursery, KG, and Class 1, are regulated by the Directorate of Education (DoE) through a centralised, points-based mechanism. Let us take a look at the different components of the admission process for Delhi schools in detail.

The DoE Point System (For Nursery/KG/Class 1)

According to the point system, every student is allocated points based on different criteria, usually out of 100, with a certain cutoff point. The higher the points, the higher the chances of securing admission.

Here's a common list of criteria on which students are usually evaluated in Delhi schools:

• Distance from School: Points are allotted based on how far the student lives from the school locality.
• Siblings: Sibling points are allotted if any of their siblings are currently enrolled in that specific school.
• Alumni: Alumni points are allotted if any of the parents was a student of the same school.

In case multiple applicants have the same point score, schools usually conduct a draw of lots (lottery system) to decide admissions. Parents can use the points calculator on Ezyschooling to determine their child’s points according to the points specified in the schools that they have applied to.

Age Criteria for Nursery Schools in Delhi

Delhi schools follow a strict age criteria for admission, as specified by DoE and in accordance with NEP 2020. The new age criteria, announced recently by the DoE, state that a child must be a minimum of 3 years old by March 31st of the year in which admission is sought.

While the age criteria makes considerable changes to the foundational framework (breaking KG to LKG and UKG and implementing a 6+ years age criteria for admission to Class 1), the DoE has made it clear that the transition will happen gradually, with the new structure starting in 2026-27 and that existing students will not be affected.

For the 2026-27 session, the age structure to be followed is as follows:

• Nursery: 3 years and above
• KG: 4 years and above
• Class I: 5 years and above
