Child details
Cut-off: 31 July of the admission year. LKG typically 3+ as on 31 July. Class 1 age may still be 5+ in TN state practice — confirm the live RTE circular; do not assume NEP 6+ until TN notifies it.
Source caveat: LKG 3+/31 July is from TN RTE/GO practice cited in department materials; Class 1 age remains session-sensitive — always read the current circular.

How the Tamil Nadu Nursery Admission Age Calculator works
Each block explains one part of how this works and how to read the result.
Tamil Nadu nursery / entry-level age
LKG typically 3+ as on 31 July. Class 1 age may still be 5+ in TN state practice — confirm the live RTE circular; do not assume NEP 6+ until TN notifies it.
TN School Education / RTE admission circulars (e.g. GO No. 66 dated 07.04.2017 lineage + 2025–26 RTE materials): LKG 3–4 years as on 31 July; Class 1 still often 5+ in state practice (not yet uniformly 6+).
Source caveat: LKG 3+/31 July is from TN RTE/GO practice cited in department materials; Class 1 age remains session-sensitive — always read the current circular.
About Tamil Nadu
Tamil Nadu is among the states that had not fully moved Class 1 to a national 6+ mandate in recent cycles — LKG commonly opens at 3+ with a 31 July cut-off under GO/RTE circular practice.
What this calculator does
Enter the child’s date of birth and admission year. Age is computed as on 31 July of the admission year, then checked against the 3+ minimum for LKG.
Private schools may publish additional internal windows; government Sarvodaya / DoE notices remain the authority for public seats.
