Online admission process has been made mandatory in 24 government schools in Gurgaon from April 1. The directorate of education has released a list of 504 schools in the state that will follow the process starting this academic session. All schools have been given a web page on the directorate's website, where candidates can log in and fill up the form, by April 11.TNN
Some students and their parent, however, find the entire process elaborate and many are finding it difficult to fill up the two-page online forms with 11 columns requiring too much information. "The students and their parents are required to provide email-ids and Aadhaar card number. Many of the villagers in Gurgaon do not carry Aadhaar or have an email address. Online admissions should not be made mandatory in government schools," said Samar Yadav, who is seeking admission for his four-year-old daughter in a school in Islampur.
The district admission, however, claims that they are well prepared. "We are simply following the orders of the directorate. We will ensure that the entire process takes place smoothly in these schools so that by next year, we can introduce the process in other schools," said Manoj Kaushik, district education officer, Gurgaon.
The government schools that will shift to online admissions from this year include Khentawas, Bajghera, Mohammadpur Jharsa, Bhim Nagar, Kadipur, Islampur, Sukhrali, Civil Line, Garhi Harsaru, Dhankot, Wazirabad, Sarhaul, Arjunnagar, Dundahera, Gurgaon village, Gwal Pahari and Sushant Lok.
