Delhi school-admission data journalists and educators can cite
SaplingSky publishes source-backed school-admission data for parents, journalists, educators and researchers. The emphasis is on verifiable numbers, school-specific evidence and a clear separation between historical data and the current 2027-28 admission cycle.
42 verified school-cycle records · 54 currently open
The verified school-cycle total comes from structured admission-cycle records. The currently-open count uses the same verified live feed shown to parents, including official school-level announcements that are not yet represented by a full structured cycle record. Delhi and the wider NCR are kept separate; an NCR school opening is not presented as Delhi's regulated timetable.
Request a focused, source-backed data cut
SaplingSky publishes aggregate findings, methodology and selected verified school examples publicly. For a specific story or research question, journalists and educators can request a current school, locality or district-level extract with supporting official sources. The full structured dataset is not available as a public bulk download.

Citation-ready evidence by editorial question
Start with the evidence page that matches the question being reported. This keeps current-cycle facts, historical patterns and verification standards distinct instead of blending them into one claim.

Open verification methodologyHistorical Delhi criteria dataset

Source and methodology standards
SaplingSky prioritises Delhi Directorate of Education and other competent-authority records, then official school notices and school websites. Historical material remains labelled by academic year and is not silently carried forward into a new admission cycle.
