The last minute to registering admissions under Right to Education (RTE) on July 20, hundreds of students were enrolled in allotted schools. Considering the gap between allotted schools and registered admissions, education department extended the dateline of uploading registrations to Sunday.
“It is better if students register into the schools as soon as possible, but instead of letting the seat go empty, we are allowing the last minute registrations to extend for the night,” district project coordinator (DPC) Akshay Rathore said.
He noted that admissions have already been delayed, but it is essential that students seeking admissions under RTE finalise their admission on the portal.
The number of registered admissions had stood still till July 18 and suddenly saw an increase on the last day. Every minute the number of admissions registered varied between 5 and 15.
From 5 pm, which was the initial deadline of registering admission, to 8 pm, the number of registered admission grew from 60 percent to 80 percent. “We are hoping that over 90 percent admissions would be registered by morning and hence, saving all the secured seats in schools under the act,” Rathore said.
Maximum registrations from Indore were seen from 5 pm to 6 pm. Parents had been considering and browsing other schools, before finalising the admission. This was as shared parent of admitted student Divyansh Padariya.
