We study Bose-Einstein condensation in a harmonic trap with a dimple potential. We specifically consider the case of a tight and deep dimple potential which is modelled by a Dirac delta function. This allows for simpler, explicit numerical and analytical investigations of noninteracting gases. Thus, the Schrodinger equation is used instead of the Gross-Pitaevski equation. Calculating the atomic density, chemical potential, critical temperature and condensate fraction, the role of the relative depth of the dimple potential with respect to the harmonic trap in large condensate formation at enhanced temperatures is clearly revealed.
