The Delhi Government has also set up help desks for parents to assist them with the admission process. The helpdesk consists of teachers and members of the school management committee. Parents of the applicants can get their application forms checked by the members of the helpdesk.
The DoE, while announcing the entry-level admission dates, also clarified that admission will not be denied to any Divyang child, destitute child, refugee or asylum seeker, migrants or child in need of care and protection, due to non-availability of essential documents at the time of submission in the school.
The Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia, who also holds the education portfolio, on Monday, June 28, said that admission will also not be denied to a child on the ground of declaring the name of just one parent.
