The Delhi high court on Thursday ordered a fresh draw of lots for all nursery seats, prolonging the agony of parents battling furious competition to get their children in schools of their choice.
Justice Manmohan said a fresh draw of lots was necessary for all seats, including the confirmed one and those vacated after scrapping of the inter-state transfer points, to put all the children on equal footing.
Seat allocation has already been hit after the transfer category was done away with following complaints of fake certificates being used to secure admissions.
The Delhi government on February 27 through a notification scrapped the inter-state transfer category under which it used to give five additional points to children whose parents were transferred to the national capital from another state.
At present admission process follows 95-point system -- 70 points allocated to neighbourhood criteria, 20 to sibling category and five points under alumni criteria.
Thursday's order is a setback for children who have already been selected as they will have to start all over again. This will be the third time that a draw of lots will be held for nursery admissions for the 2014-15 academic session that opens April 1.
