About Bihar
Bihar’s Gyandeep RTE portal states Class 1 eligibility as completion of 6 years by 1 April — a clean, portal-published cut-off used across the state RTE cycle.
What this calculator does
Enter the child’s date of birth and admission year. Age is computed as on 1 April of the admission year, then checked against the 6+ minimum for Class 1 (RTE entry).
Private schools may publish additional internal windows; government Sarvodaya / DoE notices remain the authority for public seats.
