Haryana Class 1 Admission: Age Set to 6 Years from 2026-27 Session
- •Haryana Education Department mandates a minimum age of six years for Class 1 admission starting from the 2026-27 academic session.
- •This change aligns Haryana with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 framework and follows a directive from the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
- •The revision replaces the previous standard of five years and six months, ensuring children are developmentally prepared for formal schooling.
- •Children not meeting the six-year age benchmark will be eligible for Balvatika (preparatory class) to stay within the Foundational Stage.
- •The new rule applies uniformly to all government, government-aided, and private schools, with no age relaxations.
