"(unaided private schools) shall admit in class I…. and provide free and compulsory education till its completion, Provided further that where a school… imparts pre-school education, the provisions…shall apply for admission to such pre-school education"<br>
So, the entry level for children in these free seats is either in CLASS1 at 6 years of age, or earlier at the PRE-SCHOOL level, if the school imparts pre-school education.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Que.</b> For how many years will the child be entitled to free education in the private school?</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Ans.</b> Yes, The 2012 RTE Act amendment has also included children with varying disabilities under the definition of disadvantage. Therefore, they are legally entitled to be included with children from other socio-economically disadvantaged groups for admission under the 25% free reservation quota.</p>

<div class="headline-page"><h3>Admission Procedure</h3></div>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Que.</b> Which children are eligible to apply for the 25% reserved seats?</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Ans.</b> The Act specifies that admission in the seats should be offered to two categories of children defined as:<br>

"Child belonging to WEAKER SECTION means a child belonging to such parent or guardian whose annual income is lower than the minimum limit specified by the appropriate government, by notification:<br>
Individual states and union territories have also issued rules which specify detailed eligibility criteria and family income limits for eligible children.<br>
Colloquially, in common parlance all eligible children for the 25% reserved seats are also referred to as belonging to the "economically weaker section" (EWS).</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Que.</b> What is the admission procedure for these free seats to eligible children?</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Ans.</b> The Ministry of Human Resources Development on 23rd November 2010 issued detailed instructions in its Guidelines on Procedure for School Admission Under RTE Act, 2009 which specifies that<br>
"…… schools shall follow a system of random selection out of the applications received from children belonging to disadvantaged groups and weaker sections for filling per-determined number of seats in that class, which should not be less than 25% of the strength of that class."</p>
