For parents preparing for Delhi Nursery School Admissions 2026–27, the new point system introduced by the Directorate of Education (DoE), Government of NCT of Delhi, plays a crucial role in securing admission. Understanding how points are calculated and what gives you an edge can make the difference between getting a preferred school or not. This guide breaks down the updated point system in simple language so you can prepare with confidence.
Why the Point System Matters
Admissions in most private and government-aided schools in Delhi are not just first-come first-served. Instead, seats — especially in Nursery, KG and Class 1 — are allocated based on a point-based system that ranks applicants.
The higher your points, the better your chance of getting a seat in the first few rounds of admission.
What’s New in the 2026 Point System?
The DoE periodically updates the point structure to make admissions more transparent and fair. For 2026, the focus remains on priority and objective criteria, but with refined weightage to help differentiate applicants better.
Here are the major point categories parents must know:
1. Sibling Priority (High Scoring Category)
✔ Children with siblings already studying in the same school get significant points.
✔ This helps families keep siblings together and is one of the strongest advantages in the system.
Why it matters: Sibling points can push your application above many others, especially in sought-after schools.
2. Alumni Points (Parents Former Students)
✔ If a parent studied in the same school as a child is applying to, you get additional points.
✔ Some schools give extra advantage if either father or mother is an alumnus.
Tip: Always attach valid proof (e.g., school records, certificates) to claim these points.
3. Distance Points (Most Contested Category)
Distance calculation now follows a more precise method using pin-code mapping and GIS location tools.
✔ Homes closer to the school get higher distance points.
✔ The farther you are, the lower the distance points.
How it works:
- 0–2 km = Maximum distance points
- 2–5 km = Medium
- Beyond 5 km = Lower score
Important: Always enter address details accurately to avoid loss of points.
4. EWS / DG (Economically Weaker Section / Disadvantaged Group)
✔ EWS and DG category applicants receive priority in seat allocation.
✔ These categories have separate point consideration under reservation rules.
Parents must note: Valid income and eligibility certificates are mandatory to claim these points.
5. Extra Considerations (Where Applicable)
Depending on school and DoE rules, small point additions may be available for:
- Single parent status
- Children with special needs (if applicable)
- Any other priority specified by DoE
How Points Are Ranked
Once all applications are submitted:
- Points are calculated for each child.
- A merit list is prepared based on total points.
- Seats are allotted in multiple rounds — first based on highest point holders.
Tip: Even a few points more can change your allotment from one school to another, so accuracy is key.
Common Mistakes Parents Must Avoid
❌ Entering wrong pin code
❌ Missing proof for sibling or alumni claims
❌ Uploading invalid income/EWS certificates
❌ Waiting until last day for registration
All these can cost valuable points and affect your final allotment.
Tips to Maximize Your Points
✔ Apply early with correct documentation
✔ Double-check each field in the form before submission
✔ Use accurate distance calculation
✔ Claim sibling or alumni points if eligible
Conclusion
The new point system in Delhi Nursery Admission 2026 is designed to reward fairness and accuracy. Knowing how points are calculated — especially for sibling priority, distance, EWS/DG categories, and alumni benefits — will help parents plan better and improve their chances of securing good school placements for their children.
