Enter the points a school publishes, tick what applies to your family, and see your child's total for that school.

IN SHORT

Every private school in Delhi publishes its own nursery admission criteria and points. Use the calculator once per school: type in that school's points, tick the criteria you can prove with a document, and compare your totals across schools. Nursery admission for 2027-28 opens on 1 November 2026.

How to use the totals

  • Apply to several schools, including where your score is strong — usually the ones nearest home
  • Points only count when you can prove them: keep the address proof, sibling's ID card or alumni certificate ready
  • Schools publish lists in order of points; the draw of lots decides between children on the same total
  • Check each school's criteria for the year — the Directorate of Education strikes down some criteria in some years

Distance is measured the school's way

Most schools measure distance from home to school as published in their criteria — often by road or by a map tool they name. Use the same method, or your band may be wrong. Our distance finder gives the straight-line distance to Mayo and your nearest bus stop.

Questions parents ask

How are nursery admission points calculated in Delhi?

Add the points the school publishes for each criterion you meet — distance band, sibling, alumni parent, girl child and so on. The school ranks children by that total.

Is the calculator's default scoring official?

No. The numbers filled in are an example. Replace them with the points each school publishes for the year.

Rules change each year: check the official notice for your year. Mayo's own figures come from the school's records.
