It is very depressing to see such baseless comments being posted without any concrete evidence or enquiry. I have been in service for 37 years with 11 years as the Principal of different schools, and this is the first time that I have come across such allegations. Admissions in KV are not done by a single person but by a committee and the Chairman of the Vidyalaya. KV Ernakulam being an overcrowded school, chances of vacancy other than class I is nil. The Principal cannot go against the guidelines for admission nor admit any student according to his/her will. There is a general opinion among a few that malpractices are taking place and so every year we have a few court cases to deal with and in all cases court proved that the admissions done by KV Ernakulam are as per Admission Guidelines. Mr. Rajesh who is employed in the Indian Air Force challenged the school because he could not get admission for his ward and he even approached the High Court against K V Ernakulam. But his case did not get the approval of the court stating that admissions in KV Ernakulam are done only according to the guidelines. I’m posting this only to clarify my position and to state that admissions are not in my hands and I have to strictly abide by the rules and regulations of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan New Delhi.
