Haryana ends age relaxation, makes 6 years mandatory for Class 1 admissions from the 202627 academic session

Haryana has ended age relaxation for Class 1 admissions, making completion of six years mandatory from the 202627 academic session in line with the National Education Policy 2020 and Punjab and Haryana high court directions. The move follows amendments to the Haryana Right to Education Rules, 2011. Children below the cut-off will be placed in Balvatika or pre-primary classes, while private schools in Gurgaon outline limited seat availability and structured admission processes.
