Schools which have three years and six months as their age cutoff,
include The Shri Ram School, The Heritage School, Shikshanter, Sun City
World School, Lotus Valley International School, DAV Public School,
Salwan Public School and Delhi Public School in Sector 45.
We want slightly more mature children in class, which is why we have
kept three-and-a-half years as the age criteria," said Anita Malhotra,
principal of Lotus Valley International School.
Arti Chopra, the principal of Amity International School, said, "There
is no uniform rule, so schools in Gurgaon can decide their age criterion
independently. There should be no confusion among parents, though, as
this is clearly mentioned in admission forms."
The disparity in age criterion, though, has left parents confused.
Vijay Aggarwal, a resident of South City-II who is seeking admission for
his son born on November 15, 2012, said, "My son will be three years
and four months on March 31 next year. I can apply to some schools, but
most good ones will disqualify him as he would be younger by 45 days as
per their criterion. I can't afford to waste a year to apply for one of
these schools."
Sumit Vohra, who runs a website on nursery admissions in NCR, said,
"Many parents cannot get their kids admitted to the desired school due
to the age criteria. If they wait for the next year, their child is not
eligible in schools such as Amity, which have four years as the upper
cut-off age for nursery admissions. More than 1,500 schools in Delhi
follow an uniform criteria of three years.To know more visit our site http://allindiayellowpage.com.
