How the Uttar Pradesh Nursery Admission Age Calculator works

Each block explains one part of how this works and how to read the result.

  2. About Uttar Pradesh

    UP’s Basic Education Department fixed Class 1 entry at 6 years (NEP-aligned) while nursery/LKG/UKG remain the 3/4/5 ladder — with 1 April as the common cut-off in RTE admission rounds.

  3. What this calculator does

    Enter the child’s date of birth and admission year. Age is computed as on 1 April 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.
