Depending on the region, school and board, the Class 6 admission in India usually starts between February and May. 6th class admissions are usually based on age eligibility, academic performance and some schools conduct entrance tests or interviews, especially for reputed institutions.

Parents are suggested to regularly keep checking official school website for notifications, application dates, and guidelines. The forms can be filled online or offline. Early application is recommended to secure a seat in a good school successfully.

For government schools like Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti, admission to Class 6 is through the JNVST entrance exam . Other schools such as Kendriya Vidyalayas and private schools have their own admission procedures and eligibility criteria.
