Child details
Cut-off: 1 June of the admission year (session start). Standing practice under GO 117/2012 has been Class 1 around 5+ near June session start. From 2026–27 the state has announced 6+ — confirm the amending GO before relying on either figure.
Source caveat: 2012 GO is the last primary PDF lineage confirmed; the 2026–27 shift to 6+ is a ministerial announcement until the amending GO PDF is archived — medium confidence for the transition year.

About Kerala
Kerala’s Class 1 admission age was historically governed by GO(MS)117/2012/GEDN (12 Apr 2012); ministers have announced a move to 6+ from 2026–27 — treat the transition year carefully.
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 (session start), then checked against the 5+ minimum for Class 1.
Private schools may publish additional internal windows; government Sarvodaya / DoE notices remain the authority for public seats.
