Nursery admission is one of the most competitive school admission processes in Delhi. Parents generally start preparing months before the application window opens because popular schools can receive a large number of applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the 2027\u201328 academic session<\/strong>, the official admission schedule for private unaided schools in Delhi has not yet been released<\/strong>. Parents should therefore avoid relying on unofficial dates circulating online and wait for the notification from the Directorate of Education (DoE), Delhi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Who Can Apply for Nursery Admission in Delhi 2027\u201328?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Delhi has introduced revised age norms for the foundational stage from the 2026\u201327 academic session<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the DoE’s revised framework:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Nursery \/ Bal Vatika 1:<\/strong> 3+ years<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Lower KG \/ Bal Vatika 2:<\/strong> 4+ years<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Upper KG \/ Bal Vatika 3:<\/strong> 5+ years<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Class 1:<\/strong> 6+ years<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The age is considered as on 31 March of the admission year<\/strong>. The guidelines also provide for a one-month age relaxation at the school-head level for Nursery through Class 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For 2027\u201328<\/strong>, parents should confirm the final age calculation and any applicable changes once the official admission guidelines are issued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
