What is EWS/DG/CWSN Admission — Explained Simply
For new Delhi parents who may not fully understand these categories:
EWS (Economically Weaker Section): Under the Right to Education (RTE) Act, private unaided schools in Delhi are required to reserve 25% of seats in entry-level classes (Nursery, KG, Class 1) for children from EWS families. Family income must not exceed ₹5 lakh per annum from all sources. Candidates must not belong to reserved SC/ST/OBC categories.
DG (Disadvantaged Group): Includes children from SC, ST, OBC categories and other disadvantaged backgrounds. No income certificate is required for DG category applicants.
CWSN (Children with Special Needs): Children with disabilities are provided reserved seats in private schools under the RTE framework. A valid disability certificate is required.
The admission is done through a computerised draw of lots (lottery system) to ensure complete fairness and transparency. No merit, no connections — pure lottery.
