But the last-minute jitters remain. “I have gathered all the required documents and am planning to collect the forms one day one itself. Inspite of all this I am still tensed,” said Poonam Rathod, who has to get her daughter admitted.

With most school sticking to the Directorate of Education (DoE) regulations, most parents are heaving a sigh of relief. “The fixed schedule is very helpful since we can plan out which schools to visit which day. Also the declaration of result by the schools by February 1, will help us to gauge where we stand,” Kyati Mahendra, a parent.

Rupi Chawla, who got her daughter admitted to nursery last year agreed. “The fixed schedule is a boon for parents. With fixed dates there is no sense of uncertainity now. Last year I stood in line for forms since 5.30 am fearing I would miss out on the schoolsI wanted to apply for.”
