NEP 2020 Standard
A child must have completed 6 years of age as of the Cut-off Date to be eligible for Class 1. This replaces the older 5+ rule in many states.
Kendriya Vidyalaya
Strict March 31st cut-off. For Class 1, age must be between 6 to 8 years. Note: PwD candidates get a 2-year relaxation in the upper age limit.

|---|---|---|
| CBSE / KV / Delhi | March 31 | 6+ Years |
| Maharashtra Board | December 31 | 6+ Years |
