Often my parents reminisce about the days when they had to stand in long queues to buy application forms to get both their daughters admitted to the school of their preference. It was an extremely painful task, because my dad usually had to take atleast a half if not full day’s off. Thankfully my mother used to ride a two wheeler and was confident enough to be able to go to a school alone and get the school admission form, which saved my dad a couple of his paid leaves. That was when I had to be admitted to school.

30 years hence, when I started searching for schools for my son for admission at the pre-primary level, I was at a little ease because most of the schools today have their own websites and have their admission process iterated there. While a lot of these schools have their preliminary screening process automated online, a handful of these schools have even graduated to conducting most of the admission process pre and post child and parent interaction online through web uploads and e-mails. Yet talk to parents striving to get their kid admitted to a school, they will tell you that school admission is the first big step towards their kid’s development. Parents generally create a shortlist of schools and go through each school’s admission process which is as good as going through the labor of giving birth to the kid all over again. Each of the schools has its own admission calendar, admission form and the following selection criteria. Amidst the confusion and anxiety in relation to the kid’s future there is an additional burden of disturbance to the daily routine.
