Criteria of Nursery Admission – Point-based selection for open category

Most Delhi schools admit students based on the number of points they have. The more the number of points, the higher the chances of your child getting into the Nursery School.

The Points for Delhi Nursery Admissions are calculated based on certain criteria. Though these can be different for different schools, we have listed the most common criteria used by Delhi Nursery Schools.

The criteria listed by most Delhi schools for their Nursery Class Admissions are as follows:

1.  Distance of the student from his/her residence to the school

Proximity to school will be the most important criterion for Nursery Admission 2024-25. Each school has a different way of allocating points based on distance.

However, most schools have bifurcated points based on the distance of the candidate’s residence to the school.

For example:

• For distance up to 6 Km – 40 Points
• 6 to 8 Km – 30 Points
• More than 8 Km – 20 Points

Please note that the calculation of points based on the distance differs for different schools and is not fixed. Please refer to the respective school profiles on Ezyschooling for more details regarding the same.

2.  Girl Child/Single Parent- Some schools offer points for a girl child candidate or also for a candidate who has a single parent.

3. Sibling Quota- If a candidate’s sibling (real brother or sister) is studying in the same school in the current academic session, schools may allocate points to that candidate.

4. Transferred Defense or Paramilitary Employee- Some schools offer 5 to 10 points for parents in the Defense Sector. 

5. Parents being Alumni of the School- Points are allocated to a particular candidate whose parent(s) have been an alumnus of the same school (or school group). The points allocated may differ from school to school.

Please Note: There are no points for Parents' Educational Qualifications or Jobs.
