Hi Ramapreet,
If your daughter is 2 & 1/2 now then she will be eligibile to apply for nursery admission for session 2010-2011 in most of the schools in August-Sep 2009. You have to keep an close eye on forms of somerville schools because forms will be out just for 2 or 3 days . Although you can get information regarding admissions forms etc on this site but still be in touch with school, newspaper etc so that u don'tmiss the admission form.

I don't know exactly but what i heard is in somerville there is no set criteria for admission.
1. They call only shortlisted candidates.
( what is criteria of shortlisting candidates noone knows .. ( but i think they shortlist FCFS basis))
2. They prefer candidates from nearby areas.
3. Rest depends on Parent's qualification, Almuni, job etc etc
4. Child's interaction
5. Luck :)

okk.. I also agree that sometimes we have all the qualifications like active child, parent's qualification , good family background and even then school's don't give admission then your 5th point is valid :)

my 5th point is not for child or parents ( it was for school :) ) . If child is active and you fullfil all the qualifications then its bad luck of school who missed the admission of brilliant child :) . So try for admision in all the good schools but have faith in you that if ur up-brining is good then your child will do excellent in any school and any environment.

Its little bit difficult to get admission in Father Agnel school noida because what i heard is school give preference to particular community ( even if u see the result of nursery admission last year majority of students are Christian ), then it give preference to sibling cases . So its bit difficult to get admission in this school. Although school is good in both academics and extra curricular activities. one more point last year they consider 4+ child for nursery class admission so if your child is 2+ and school adopt same age criteria which adopted for year 2009-2010 then you won't be eligible to apply in Fr. agnel this year.

I personally feel that developing schools are doing pretty well, because since last 4-5 years nursery crowd in Noida schools is really good because most of the children are (more or less) from same kind of background. Although you have preference for convent schools but if you don't get admission in convent or DPS school then Khaitan , Vishwabharti, Cambridge are also good choice . I can write this because i did lot of hunting .
