There are indications that new guidelines being defined for nursery admissions for the year 2011-12 will include both a lottery system and points system giving adequate weightage to neighborhood, siblings, alumni etc.
The guidelines are expected to come on 15th December and admission process is likely to start from 1 Jan 2011.
The guidelines are being formed in such a manner that will take care of both parent's convenience and Right to Education Act (RTE) which recommends random' selection process.
Here is what 100 points system says..
(a) Under the neighbourhood head, an applicant staying within a radius of 3 kms will get the maximum of 20 points. Less weightage has been proportionately assigned to those living farther off, upto the distance of 10 km. from the school and no weightage be given for those living beyond that distance.
(b) A sibling will get 20 points.
(c) Under alumni category, if the father or mother is an alumni, 5 points each will be given and if both are alumni, 10 points will be given.
(d) Any child who is physically disabled or any child with special needs will get 5 points.
(e) Under educational qualification, a maximum of 20 points will be awarded depending on the parents' level of qualification. In the case of single parent weightage given for educational qualification will be doubled.
f) A girl child will get 5 points.
g) Under school specific parameters which the school will decide, 20 points will be given. The weightage under school specific parameters should, in no case, be used for any sort of interview or interactive session with parents/children.
