Documents for nursery admission

What to keep ready before forms open, what proves each admission criterion, and the mistakes that hold up an application.

IN SHORT

For nursery admission in Delhi, keep ready your child's birth certificate, proof of your address, a parent's photo ID and recent passport photographs. If you claim points for a sibling, an alumni parent or another criterion, add the proof for each. Make sure the child's name and date of birth match on every document.
