Unable to get your child admission in nursery? You will relate to Ashneer Grover's post
child into school.
Taking to social media, BharatPe cofounder Ashneer Grover addressed the biggest pain point for many parents on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Monday.
The 41-year-old said that getting admission for a four-year-old in the Nursery of a reputed private school is more difficult than cracking the entrance of the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT). Grover is an alumnus of IIT-Delhi.
The entrepreneur-turned-author said that the problem was evident in the Delhi-National Capital Region, which comprises cities like New Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, Greater Noida, Faridabad, and Ghaziabad.
In his post, he said that every parent in Delhi-NCR must have gone through admission struggles in the last 10 years to get their child into a coveted private school.
«It’s tougher to get your four-year-old kid admission in Nursery in your preferred private school than it is to enter IITs.
At least in Delhi NCR. Ask any parent who has gone through the process in the last 10 years.
Demand for coveted schools far outstrips supply,» Grovber wrote in his tweet.
Taking a dig at the difficult process, Grover said that nursery school seats, if auctioned in Delhi NCR, would beat the Indian Premier League (IPL) to become the highest auction in the country.
«If nursery school seats were auctioned in Delhi NCR, IPL would be the 2nd highest auction in the country,» he added.
Grover's tweet quickly caught people's attention and got more than 56K views in two hours.
While a majority of parents were in agreement with Grover, a few responded to memes to express their emotions. Several start-up founders also showed their sense of humour.
