Nursery Admission 2027-28 (2027-2028)
Prepare for nursery admissions across India with a practical guide to dates, age criteria, forms, documents and city-specific school information.
Nursery admission 2027-28 dates
India does not have one common nursery admission calendar. Government notifications may govern particular cities or reserved-entry routes, while private schools may publish their own application dates. Treat a generic date seen online as planning information until it matches an official notice relevant to your child.
Dates parents should monitor
- Admission notification and form opening
- Last date to submit the form
- Document verification or interaction
- Lottery, points list or selection result
- Fee payment and admission confirmation
Where to verify dates
- State or local education authority website
- School's official admission page
- Published prospectus or admission notice
- Applicable RTE or government admission portal
- Official school communication after submission
Age criteria for the 2027-2028 session
Do not use one nationwide age calculation for every application. The eligible age depends on the entry class, applicable rules and the date on which age is measured. A school may call its entry class Nursery, Montessori, Pre-Nursery, Pre-KG, LKG or Junior KG.
Documents to prepare
Common parent and child documents
- Child's birth certificate
- Recent child and parent photographs
- Parent or guardian identity proof
- Current residential address proof
- Previous-school record when applicable
Claim-specific evidence
- Sibling or alumni proof
- Category or income certificate
- Disability certificate where applicable
- Distance or neighbourhood evidence
- Documents required by an RTE route
Schools can request different formats, issue dates or originals for verification. Prepare a common set, but follow the final checklist in each selected school's notice.
