Parents who admitted kids last year help newbies with essential informationNEW DELHI: You don't recover from the nursery admission experience quickly and parents who successfully admitted their kids last year are now "seniors", extending a helping hand to the "juniors", gearing up for the process this year. Advice is being offered and accepted on the nature of documents to keep ready, the number of schools to apply and feedback is being gathered on how the schools perform later."Last year, I had help from seniors," says Sreeju Krishnan, a software engineer who admitted his daughter last year and is now helping his friend's daughter get admission. "I have told my friend to apply to at least 10-15 schools. I'm also collecting information on the criteria for points. A few schools that I've approached are selling forms but there are no instructions to go with them," he says.Vaishali Batra is more concerned about the timing of the admission process. "I have to go to Mumbai, as a family member has to undergo operation," says Batra. As she waits for further information, she gets her documents ready. "I don't plan to apply to more than 10 schools."There are a large number of documents that the parents need to produce before the schools. Several schools demand that the name of the child be printed on the birth certificate and it can take anywhere between two and three weeks to get such a certificate from the municipal corporations."My first concern was the birth certificate," says Surina Singhal, a doctor seeking admission for her daughter, "Then I got my school-level certificates out for the alumni points. I'm really banking on them." Based in Dashrathpuri, she feels she will "lose distance points everywhere". She is also gathering feedback on how schools fare third-grade onwards. "At nursery level, most schools are excellent but parents start getting dissatisfied by third onwards."Sumit Vohra, founder, admissionsnursery.com has been holding talks to help out parents. "Parents ask me if they should dress formally or informally for document verification and informal interactions with schools. Parents who are not very fluent in English ask if they can speak in Hindi, how they can get their kids into 'branded' schools and whether their qualifications will help them after RTE implementation," he says.
