The first computerised draw of lots for admission to nursery and other entry level classes in private schools of Delhi for the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) and Disadvantaged Group (DG) category students which was slated for Wednesday is delayed for a day due to some technical reasons. The draw has been postponed for March 8, informed Directorate of Education (DoE), Delhi.
