When we were seeking for LKG admission for Dhanesh, we had applied nearly in half dozen schools. which were in about five kilometer radius from our home. As people were behind CBSE board of education, there were around 2000 applications for nearly 200 seats. With our mission of no recommendation and no back door policy, we just gave our attempt in three CBSE schools and he was not lucky enough. Then our attempt to three matric schools were lucky. He got selected in all of them but we chose the best school out of them.
For Deepak, our choice was only one, but for sake of interview experience(!) we gave an attempt to one of the CBSE school. We were discussing what to do if he gets selected in the list, but his name was not listed in selection list.
We were tensed, as we had not applied to any other school and it was mentioned that attending interview does not guarantee admission. At the interview, he was expected to greet the teacher, solve the shapes matching puzzle, identify the objects and tell a rhyme. Finally when they gave a chocolate, he was expected to say thank you. Though your three and half year old does all these, some times they do keep quiet and those kids were put in wait-list for admission. Deepak did interview well and he got seat in the school where his brother studies.
