Delhi nursery admission 2026–27: Is your child on the second merit list?
India Today
The nursery admission process in Delhi has moved into its second phase, with private schools publishing updated merit and waiting lists for the 2026–27 academic year. Parents of shortlisted children now have a limited window to complete school-level formalities before the final round begins in March.
Private schools across Delhi have released the second merit list for nursery admissions for the 2026–27 academic session, bringing fresh hope for parents whose children were waitlisted in the first round. With thousands of applicants still awaiting confirmation, the final round of admissions is scheduled to take place on March 5.
More than 1,700 private unaided schools in the capital published their second selection lists and waiting lists on February 9, highlighting the intense competition for limited nursery seats this year.
Parents and guardians of children featured in the second merit list must visit the respective schools between February 10 and February 16 to complete admission-related formalities. Failure to do so may result in forfeiture of the allotted seat, officials have cautioned.
The extended waiting lists across many schools suggest that a significant number of admissions may be finalised only during the last round.
