Private schools of Delhi will release the second merit list of shortlisted students for admission to entry-level classes today, February 6, 2023. Those who were not on the first list can expect their names on the second list. Around 1,800 private schools released their first merit list along with a waiting list on the notice board and the official websites of the schools on January 20, 2023.


Many schools have already closed the admission process with their first list itself. President of Delhi State Public School's Management Association R C Jain said several schools do not issue a waiting list or a second list of students as the seats fill up after the first draw of lots itself. The draw of lots is conducted under videography and its footage are retained by the school. The slips are shown to the parents before being put in the box used for the draw of lots.


A child needs to be at least four years old to fill out the form for nursery admission. The age limit is five years for admission in kindergarten and at least six years for Class 1 as on March 31, 2023.


The registration process for admission to entry-level classes in more than 1,800 private schools in Delhi for the 2023-24 academic session began on December 1 and concluded on December 23.


The Department of Education had said that a non-refundable amount of Rs 25 can be charged as an admission registration fee. The purchase of a prospectus of a school by the parents will be optional, it had said. 


According to the circular, all private schools will reserve 25 percent of seats for economically weaker sections and disadvantaged group students as well as for differently-abled children.
