For schools recognised under Delhi School Education Act, the admissions will be conducted through online process and a centralised lottery to bring in the transparency and accountability since this process eliminates any interfere of private schools during the admission process.
Post the lottery, private schools will simply be communicated the children who will be allotted admission in their schools. Nearly 28000 students in 1158 schools stand to benefit from this. To avoid any duplication of admission, the department has made Aadhaar ID mandatory which will curb any attempt to have unfair advantage of admission by means of multiple applications.
