How the Goa Nursery Admission Age Calculator works
Goa nursery / entry-level age
Nursery commonly 3+; Class 1 6+ as on 1 June under the 2026 Act amendment. 2025–26 transitional grace to ~5y6m was one-time — do not treat it as standing law.
Goa School Education (Amendment) Act, 2026 (Governor assent reported 9 Mar 2026) amending Section 18: no child who has not completed six years of age on or before June 1 shall be admitted to Class I. Directorate of Education Citizen’s Charter 2025 PDF (education.goa.gov.in) aligns with nursery 3+ / Class 1 6+ practice.
About Goa
Goa amended its School Education Act (assented 2026) so Class I requires completion of six years on or before 1 June — with only transitional grace for 2025–26.
What this calculator does
Enter the child’s date of birth and admission year. Age is computed as on 1 June of the admission year, then checked against the 3+ minimum for Nursery.
Private schools may publish additional internal windows; government Sarvodaya / DoE notices remain the authority for public seats.
