The nursery admissions in Delhi which were about to begin from January 15 will now start from January 17, as told by the Delhi government to the High court on January 13. The date has been deferred by two days on account of the hearing on January 13 on a challenge to the new nursery guidelines which remained inconclusive.
The government said that it would wait for the outcome of the next hearing on the petition filed by a group of private schools to put a stay on the notification laying out new criteria for nursery admissions in the capital. In the petition, the schools had urged the court to grant interim stay on the notification but the court declined to stay the process and said that the matter will be taken up in the next hearing by a proper bench which will decide the later course.
