CBSE · NURSERY TO CLASS XII · DELHI NCR
Each school publishes its own criteria and points. Here is how to read them and work out where your child stands.
In Delhi, each private recognised school sets its own nursery admission criteria and points within the Directorate of Education's rules, and publishes them before forms open. Common criteria are distance from home, a sibling in the school, an alumni parent, a girl child and a single parent. Add up your points for each school from its published list; where children tie, schools usually decide by a draw of lots.

Points differ from school to school. Criteria you will often see:
The Directorate of Education has struck down some criteria in past years, and a school's list must follow the current rules. Read the year's notice alongside each school's criteria.
Mayo's registration form asks for your distance from school and whether you have a sibling at Mayo, are a Mayo alumnus or alumna, a staff ward, a girl child or a single parent. Ask the admissions office for the year's criteria.
Nursery admission for 2027-28 is open until 15 December 2026 (60 seats this round).
