The sale of application forms for admissions to upcoming session was held from January 2 till January 16. The schools will publish the second list of selected candidates by February 28, and the entire process of admission will have to be completed by March 31 as per the guidelines issued by the Directorate of Education of Delhi.
There are about 4,500 schools in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR), of which over 2,000 are unaided private schools which have been the first preference of parents.
