Private schools begin toeing govt line on management quota

While private school associations are undecided about their stand after the Delhi Government's move to scrap management quota in nursery admissions, some schools have started toeing the line and have updated their admission criteria.
Queens' Valley School, Dwarka which had earlier reserved 20 per cent seats under the management quota, has now merged the seats under general category.
BGS, International School, Dwarka has also made certain amendments in its criteria announced earlier.
Similarly, Mount Abu School, Rohini, which had earlier divided the general category seats as - 20 pc sibling quota, 20 pc management quota and 35 pc open seats, has now removed all the criterion.

Scrapping 32 per cent management quota, Sachdeva School, has also updated its criteria in its three branches in Pitampura, Rohini and Sachdeva Global School, Dwarka.
PP International School, Pitampura has also followed the same move.

Indraprastha International School, Dwarka and Paschim Vihar, have also notified their new criteria after removing the management quota.
However, they have reserved 20 pc seats each under the quota for siblings, alumni and staff ward.
In a far-reaching decision, the government had last week scrapped management quota and all other reservations except the EWS category in private schools for nursery admissions and warned that erring institutions that they would be taken over by Education department if they fail to implement the order.

The Action Committee for Unaided Private Schools of which 400 reputed schools are members, has sought legal opinion to decide their next move.
