The Delhi government has pulled up schools here for not making public data about vacant seats and admissions made under the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) category.
In a communication to schools, the Directorate of Education (DoE) said, “Schools were directed to display on the noticeboard information about total number of seats in all classes, number of seats under EWS quota, seats available, total applications received under EWS quota and information about till when the EWS quota applications will be received and date by which the admissions will be given.”
“It has been observed that schools are not doing the same and are ordered to comply with the directive or face action,” it said.
While those belonging to families with annual income less than ₹1 lakh can seek admission under the EWS category, the disadvantaged group category applicants include the SC, ST, OBC, non-creamy layer, differently abled, and transgender.
