Admissions to nursery classes in city schools for the 2016-17 academic session began with Schoolex — a two-day exhibition that ended Sunday. More than 9,000 parents visited the fair. Many admitted they were surprised by proactive schools, who were willing to offer admissions ad lib.
Vijay Aggarwal, a parent and Sector 56 resident, said, "I got interested in two of the participating schools, but was taken aback when I learnt they were offering admissions on the spot. I thought I should postpone the decision until I do more research."
The schools, however, said they were only offering on-the-spot registrations and not admissions. "We were not offering admissions, but inviting parents to visit the school and then take a decision," said a representative of Kunskapsskolan School, DLF I.
