Delhi Schools Resume Offline Classes, Release Nursery Admission Criteria
Schools in Delhi are starting offline classes again because some restrictions have been lifted.

They will use things like how close the school is to the child's home, if the child has a sibling in the school, or if the child's parents or grandparents went to the school.
The government will share all the rules on November 27.
Schools will start taking forms for admissions on December 4, and the first list of kids who got in will be out on January 23.
