About Himachal Pradesh
Himachal uses a late 30 September cut-off for Balvatika/Class 1 age (Directorate of School Education clarification orders) — later than most plains states — and HPBOSE Senior Secondary regulations require 33% separately in theory, internal assessment, and practical/project for practical subjects.
What this calculator does
Enter the child’s date of birth and admission year. Age is computed as on 30 September of the admission year, then checked against the 3+ minimum for Balvatika-1 (Nursery).
Private schools may publish additional internal windows; government Sarvodaya / DoE notices remain the authority for public seats.
