Mr. Singla said that the education department had issued an order dated March 23, 2020, in which all the private schools in the state have been asked to reschedule their admissions for 2020-21.

He added that wide these orders, the schools were directed to provide a window period of at least 30 days for submission of fees after the situation gets normalized.
