Can a private school refuse admission despite the student having the requisite cut-off?
<p>My brother is being refused admission to a school that I attended for 9 years. This is because when I was in school, the teachers traumatised me and we complained about it in a feedback form. The principal of the school called me to her office and gave me a earful for "not being grateful" to the school for all the opportunities they gave me. </p>

<p>This year, my brother applied to the school (because they have good facilities and provide the subjects that he wants). But the principal refused to give him a place in the school because of how "disrespectful" I was even though he has the marks to get in. Is this legal and if not what can I do against it?</p>

<p>This sucks.  It is also legal.  It's a private school, they can admit who they like (provided they don't discriminate on the grounds of protected characteristics like "religion" or "caste").</p>

<p>It is entirely legal. The school has no obligation to admit any particular student unless there is an alumnus preference clause in their admission agreements.</p>
