Inclusion for All: Reserved Seats for Disadvantaged Groups

To ensure equal educational opportunities, private schools are mandated to reserve 25% of their seats for children from economically weaker sections (EWS), disadvantaged groups (DG), and children with disabilities. This inclusive approach promotes diversity and fairness in the admission process.

Reserved Seats: 25% for EWS, DG, and children with disabilities.
Separate List: A dedicated list for these applicants ensures transparency and equality.

Age Relaxation Flexibility

In an effort to accommodate children who may not strictly meet the age criteria, the heads of schools are allowed to grant a relaxation of up to 30 days in the minimum and maximum age limits for admission.

Flexibility: Parents seeking age relaxation must submit a manual application to the school.
Discretion: School authorities have the power to approve or deny age relaxation requests.
