There will be no third round of lottery. If the parents fail to get the verification done by the given date, their admission will stand cancelled.” said Indore district project coordinator Akshay Singh Rathore.
“It has been a trend in all the big cities of Madhya Pradesh that the parents eye on admission in the top schools of the city,” he added.
The first round of online lottery was held earlier this month wherein all the prominent schools witnessed rush from parents for admission of their wards. Many parents who missed their chance in the first round of lottery are ready to wait for another year for admission of theri kids in a renowned school instead of settling for second option.
“Parents have become aware of their rights and they want their kids to study in the best schools. The RTE seats were filled in our school during the first round of lottery. So, parents in second round couldn’t opt for our school,” said Delhi Public School, Rau., principal Asha Nair.
