Who Can Apply?
General category
Parents usually apply directly to each private unaided school and follow that school’s form, criteria, document and fee instructions.
EWS, DG and CWSN
These categories follow the applicable Directorate of Education process. Eligibility, seat allocation and document rules should be checked on the official portal for the relevant session.
Documents to Prepare
Requirements vary by school and category. Commonly requested records include:
- Child’s birth certificate and recent photographs
- Parent or guardian identity documents
- Delhi residential address proof accepted by the school
- Sibling, alumni, first-child or girl-child evidence where claimed
- Category, EWS, DG or CWSN certificates where applicable
- Vaccination or medical records if requested by the school
Do not upload sensitive documents to an unofficial form. Verify the school domain and admission notice first.
Delhi Nursery Admission Point System
Many private schools publish school-specific criteria. Distance or neighbourhood is commonly important, while some schools may also award points for sibling, alumni, girl child, staff ward or other permitted criteria. There is no single score that applies to every school.
Find Nursery Schools by Delhi Locality
Use locality pages as a starting point, then confirm distance, age rules, points, fees and dates from the school’s official source.
