What documents do you need for school admissions?

Documents are an important part of the school admission process. Schools require documents as they form the very basis of the student's identity. It also helps them contact parents in case their child/children have a problem.

Most Delhi schools begin their admission process in March and April. Parents must complete the application and provide all mentioned documents. Applications with incomplete/missing/inauthentic documents might be rejected.
