Nursery admission dates in Delhi

The usual order of the season, and where to find this year's official dates.

IN SHORT

The Directorate of Education announces the nursery admission schedule for Delhi's private schools each year. Forms usually open from late November. After that come the points lists, then a second list and a waiting list, and then fee payment to confirm the seat. Check the year's notice on edudel.nic.in, because the exact dates change every year. Nursery admission for 2027-28 is open until 15 December 2026 (60 seats this round).
