Delhi Nursery Admissions 2026-27 Starts Dec 04, 2025 | DoE Schedule Out

The Directorate of Education (DoE) has just released the official admission notification stating that the Delhi school admissions will start on December 04, 2025, for general seats (excluding EWS/DG/CWSN) in the entry-level classes, i.e., Nursery, KG, and Class 1. After a lot of speculation regarding the implementation of the new age criteria that will align Delhi’s education system with NEP 2020, the start of the admission process now helps to finally clarify the age structure and the new foundational learning stage for the upcoming academic session.

Admission for general seats will continue to be based on the transparent point system. Private schools are required to publicly disclose their criteria by November 28, 2025, which typically allocate points for factors like distance from the school, sibling studying in the school, and parent alumni status. The non-refundable registration fee remains at a nominal ₹25.

Delhi nursery admissions 2026-27 also stand out because of the phased implementation of the NEP 2020 age criteria. The DoE circular mandates a shift toward a minimum age of 6+ years for Class 1 admission, aligning the capital with the national educational framework. This change will be implemented gradually over three years to ensure a smooth transition.

Please note: The 6+ age rule for Class 1 will not fully impact children entering KG or Class 1 this year. The true change begins with the Nursery (3+ years) batch of 2026-27.
