Why is Age Important for Nursery Admissions? 

Importance of age in nursery admissions

The Age Criteria for Delhi Nursery Admissions has been formulated by the Delhi government to stop the legacy of children of varying age groups examining and studying in the same class. According to the DOE, all the children studying in a particular class should have the same level of brain growth.

Age Criteria for Delhi Nursery Admissions and other classes for the year 2024-2025 have been released by the DoE. The age criteria for this year (2024-2025) is given below:

Class Age Specially-Abled
Nursery 3-4 years as on 31st March  Less than 5 years
Kindergarten 4-5 years as on 31st March Less than 6 years
Grade 1 5-6 years as on 31st March Less than 7 years

(For the mentally challenged, the age can be further relaxed only by the Principal/HOS subject on submission of the required documents.)

As per a new rule, there is a relaxation of 30 days, for both lower and upper age limits. Similarly, for KG and 1st class admissions, there is a 30-day relaxation offered by some schools falling under the DOE.

Relaxation

Some schools provide one month of age relaxation for children on request by the parents. You need to drop a manual application with the hall if your child feels minor or inferior to others especially because of an evident age difference required for nursery admission, asking to provide relaxation in the school.

So, if you think your child will waste a whole year because of one month, you can request schools to provide relaxation and get your child enrolled in those schools.

In any case, these rules are strict and binding. Even a day’s difference would make your child unable to get admission if their age doesn’t match the age criteria for nursery admission or fit the right age limit for LKG and other classes. 

Special nursery kids

The DOE also provides a relaxation of one year in the Upper Age limit for Children with Special Needs/Disabled Children Category for the Age Criteria for Delhi Nursery Admission in CBSE schools.

The mentally challenged applicants can further have a relaxation in the upper age limit after approval by the Principal on submission of the necessary and essential documents required for nursery admission and other classes.
