About Delhi (NCT)
Delhi’s Directorate of Education publishes explicit foundational-stage age bands for Nursery/KG/Class I — with 31 March as the cut-off — while most Delhi secondary schools follow CBSE assessment rather than a separate large state Class 10/12 board cohort.
What this calculator does
Enter the child’s date of birth and admission year. Age is computed as on 31 March of the admission year, then checked against the 3+ minimum for Nursery (Balvatika-1 / Pre-School 1).
Private schools may publish additional internal windows; government Sarvodaya / DoE notices remain the authority for public seats.
