About Odisha
Odisha’s Jan 2025 SME gazette sets Class 1 at 6+ as on 1 September from 2025–26 and introduces “Sishu Vatika” pre-school (5–6 years) under NEP foundational restructuring.
What this calculator does
Enter the child’s date of birth and admission year. Age is computed as on 1 September of the admission year, then checked against the 5+ minimum for Sishu Vatika / Pre-school.
Private schools may publish additional internal windows; government Sarvodaya / DoE notices remain the authority for public seats.

This page uses the verified Odisha cut-off (1 September of the admission year). Other states differ — only verified states are shipped.
