My child is born ‘n’ days later than the deadline… what is the buffer allowed?
The cut off dates are July 31st each year. The cut-off only applies to grade 1. To enter grade 2, your child has to pass grade 1, for grade 6, he has to have passed grade 5. So, this question is only for children in grade 1. Now, for the grade 1 child, the cut off date of birth is 31st July. The buffer allowed is up to August 15th, but you need to get written permission from the Zilla Parishad / Municipality. Then the school will admit your child to the 1st standard that year. For children in Kindergarten, we don’t have a problem admitting them, but it is the parent’s responsibility to get the permission letter before the kids enter the 1st standard, else we cannot admit them in the 1st grade and they would have to repeat Sr. Kg.
