Delhi’s first round of draw allocates private school admissions to 1,307 children with special needs

As many as 1,307 students under the Children with Special Needs (CWSN) category have been selected in the first round of the draw of lots for entry-level admission to private schools in Delhi.

According to data shared by the Directorate of Education (DoE) on March 20, the selection was done through a computerized draw for pre-school, KG, and Class-1 curricula.

The department said the selected children's families would receive messages informing them about their allotted schools and the locations where their documents will be verified.

Once allotted, schools cannot be changed under any circumstances, it was clarified in a statement.

"Admission will be cancelled if any documents submitted during verification are found to be forged, fake, or inadequate at any stage," it said.

The candidates must report to their allotted schools for admission on or before May 26, it added.

If any discrepancies are found in the submitted documents, a deficiency memo will be issued, allowing candidates to provide valid or updated documents to confirm their eligibility under the CWSN category by April 11, it added.
