The Delhi Directorate of Education (DoE) has established rules for the admission of pupils in the “Children with Special Needs” category to entry-level private schools that have vacant seats. Pre-school (nursery), pre-primary (KG), and Class 1 are considered entrance level.

According to the Department of Education, a computerized lottery draw for online applications from CWSN category pupils took place on Tuesday.

The selected candidates will be notified of their designated schools by SMS within 24 hours of the draw, according to a DoE statement.

“The selected applicants must report to the allotted school on or before November 22 by 1 pm, along with the required documents, including a printout of the application form, photographs, identification cards (optional) and documentary proof for CWSN status,” it added.

The circular mentioned that if a candidate fails to report by the specified date, his candidature will be cancelled.
The DoE has instructed the private unaided recognised schools to assist parents by setting up help desks to guide them through the admission process.

“Schools should also ensure that no admission is denied on frivolous grounds, and that all required documents are accepted in self-attested form,” the statement said.

According to the circular, schools must not charge tuition fees from CWSN category students and are required to provide free books, uniforms and writing materials to them before November 22.

An introductory session for all parents, including those of CWSN students, should also be held, the circular said.
