The basic requirements for admission into Class 1 and Class 6 in most Indian schools are quite similar, though they may vary slightly from one school board or state to another. For Class 1, the Ministry of Education now recommends a minimum age of six years, and schools generally require a birth certificate issued by a competent authority as proof of age. Parents must also provide proof of residence, such as an Aadhaar card, ration card, voter ID, or utility bill, along with passport-size photographs and identity proofs of the parents. If applying under reserved categories or the Right to Education (RTE) quota, additional documents like caste or income certificates may be needed. For Class 6 admissions, in addition to age and identity documents, students usually must submit their previous school’s report card or transfer certificate to show academic continuity. Some schools, such as Kendriya Vidyalayas, have specific age brackets and documentation requirements during their online admission process. Hope this helps!
