Q. Can the private school conducts tests, interviews, educational profiling of parents and other screening procedures for selection of children in the 25% reserved seats? No. The Act explicitly states that for all children, including those in the 25% reserved category: "No school or person shall, while admitting a child....subject the child or his or her parents or guardian to any screening procedure." The Guidelines issued by the Ministry state even more explicitly that:".....There shall be NO TESTING AND INTERVIEWS for any child /parent falling within or outside the categories, and selection would be on a random basis" Any school or person, if in contravention of the provisions.... (b)
subjects a child to screening procedure, shall be PUNISHABLE WITH FINE,
which may extend to TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND RUPEES for the first
contravention and fifty thousand rupees for each subsequent
contraventions." Share  Discuss
