The Chhattisgarh government has announced that children must be at least six years old to enroll in Class I, effective from the upcoming academic year.
The Chhattisgarh government has formally set the minimum age for admission to Class I at six years, a change that will take effect from the next academic session.
The decision, announced by the state’s education department, aims to standardise entry age across schools in the state.
Under the new rule, schools will need to verify that applicants meet the six‑year age requirement before processing enrolment.
The policy is part of a broader effort to align state educational practices with national guidelines on early childhood education.
Parents and teachers are advised to review the updated admission criteria to ensure compliance for the forthcoming school year.
