Welcome to the Walnut School age calculator page, designed to provide clarity on CBSE school admissions and age criteria. We understand that the varying age eligibility requirements for admission to Std. 1 in different states can be confusing for parents. To help alleviate this confusion, we have conducted thorough research to determine the minimum and maximum age limits for admissions to all standards. Since the minimum age for 1st standard CBSE is declared, we have worked backward three years to establish age criteria for the preceding three pre primary classes. By utilizing the Walnut School age eligibility calculator, you can easily determine the appropriate age for admission to each class, ensuring a seamless transition for your child. Whether you’re looking for CBSE LKG age limit, age for primary class admissions, or age criteria for admission at secondary school levels, our calculator has got you covered. Simplify the admission process and make informed decisions with our user-friendly tool.
Updated age criteria for CBSE :
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced the guidelines for school admissions in the upcoming academic year 2025-26.
These guidelines provide important information regarding the age criteria for admission to various classes.
It is crucial for parents and guardians to be aware of these guidelines to ensure a smooth admission process for their children.
A student seeking admission to any class in a school will be eligible for admission to that class only if he :
- has been studying in a school recognised by or affiliated to this Board or any other recognised Board of Secondary education in India.
- has passed qualifying or equivalent qualifying examination making him eligible for admission to that class.
- satisfies the requirements of age limits (minimum and maximum) as determined by the State/U.T. Government and applicable to the place where the school is located.
