How the Delhi (NCT) Nursery Admission Age Calculator works
Each block explains one part of how this works and how to read the result.
Delhi (NCT) nursery / entry-level age
As on 31 March: Nursery 3+, KG 4+, with Class I age rising under NEP foundational-stage restructuring. Confirm the session circular (DoE) for exact DOB windows and relaxation.
Directorate of Education, GNCTD entry-level admission guidelines (e.g. 2025–26 / 2026–27 circulars on edudel.nic.in): Nursery (Balvatika-1) 3+ years as on 31 March of the admission year; KG 4+; Class I moving toward 5+/6+ under foundational-stage restructuring. Limited HoS relaxation (e.g. up to 30 days) may apply as notified.
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 secondary assessment for most Delhi schools is CBSE’s 33% bye-law floor (All India/Delhi examinations), not a separate large NCT 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.
