The following methodology shall be followed for admission of children in elementary classes including Pre- Primary Class in all Government schools including Model schools and integrated schools for the acadernic session- 2020.
As per provision of the RTE Act, 2009, no child or his / her parents or guardian will be subjected lo any kind of screening procedure. All children from 6-14 years shall be admitted to their age appropriate classes in neighborhood schools, and elementary education including pre-primary education shall be provided to them free of costI) It has been decided that admission in elementary classes including pre-primary class shall be done through draw of lots if number of candidates seeking admission to a class is more than the number of seats available for admission.
Mode of conducting draw of lots shall be as follows:
At first a general draw of lots from amongst all applicants praying for admission Irrespective of category [viz. SC / ST / OBC (A) / OBC (B) etc.) is to be done to select the unreserved candidates. Thereafter a series of draw of lots from the left over applications are to be arranged category-wise to fill up the reserved seats. Category-wise percentages of reserved seats are as below: Scheduled Caste-22%, Scheduled Tribe-6%, OBC (A) -10%, OBC (B) -7% and Children with Special Need -3%. It may be mentioned here in this connection that if seats reserved for SC remain unfilled by SC candidates they may be filled by ST candidates and vice versa.
. The age appropriate classes would be as follows: -
1) For Class V, the age of 10 years and above but less than 11 years of age.
2) For Class VI, the age of 11 years and above but less than 12 years of age.
3) For Class VII, the age of 12 years and above but less than 13 years of age.
4) For Class VIII, the age of 13 years and above but less than 14 years of age.
No student should be forced to drop out of education through the admission process. Children with special need can be admitted at higher age in a class. In appropriate cases for calculation of age for admission, 4 (four) months relaxation may be given depending on the merit of the case.
