The admission process for Gujarat’s Right to Education (RTE) Act quota has commenced, allowing students from economically weaker sections (EWS) to enrol in private schools at no cost. The application window will remain open until March 12, 2025.
As per the Times of India, approximately 1,300 private schools in Ahmedabad have collectively set aside 14,778 seats under the RTE quota this year. The act mandates private schools to reserve 25% of their seats for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
The Gujarat Directorate of Primary Education oversees the process annually to ensure eligible children secure admission.
To qualify, a family's annual income must not exceed Rs 1.5 lakh. Parents need to provide valid income certificates along with other necessary documents for verification. Any discrepancies in the submitted paperwork may result in disqualification.
