KVS Age Limit Calculator for Class 1 admission in 2023-24

Date of birth of an applicant is a crucial requirement for enrolling into class 1 in any of the Kendriya Vidyalayas across India. The lowest permissible age is 6 years for the student to gain entry into the 1st grade in a Kendriya Vidyalaya. Even a single day’s difference in the age limit will not be accepted by the KVS admission portal and it will not proceed further. This portal has been exclusively set up for applying to Standard 1 in Kendriya Vidyalaya in India for the academic year of 2023-2024. Before starting the application form in the KVS Admission portal, parents are able to affirm the age eligibility of their child for class 1 in Kendriya Vidyalaya.

What is the age cutoff for a child applying to class 1 in 2023-24?

The age limit for enrolling in grade one in the year 2023-2024 is set between six and eight years old as of April 01, 2023. Kids with disabilities have an extra two years of allowance, meaning the range of accepted birth dates for them is from April 1, 2013 to April 1, 2017. Otherwise, the accepted range of birthdates for children not considered “Differently-Abled” is between April 1, 2015 and April 1, 2017. Anyone who does not fit within these date ranges will not be eligible to sign up.

Date of Birth of Child as per Record

The date of birth of the child as per the record is a required piece of information. Enter the birthdate which is documented on the child’s birth certificate, issued by the appropriate authority. This data cannot be altered after the sign-up phase.

According to the KVS admission guidelines, the minimum age for entry into Std 1 is 6 years and the maximum age admitted is 8 years as of April 1, 2023. For applicants in the “Differently Abled” category, the upper age limit is extended by two years. As such, the applicable range of date of birth for a child applying to Std 1 for the 2023-2024 academic year is between April 1, 2015 and April 1, 2017 for those not in the “Differently Abled” category. For those in the “Differently Abled” category, the accepted date of birth range is between April 1, 2012 and April 1, 2016.

How to upload DoB Certificate in KVS Admission Portal

If the applicant’s date of birth falls outside of the specified range, they will not be able to complete the sign-up/registration process. A picture/scan of proof of date of birth must be uploaded to the online admission form (JPEG file of maximum size 256KB). It is recommended that applicants keep a copy of the scanned document ready. For admission to Std. 1, the proof of age should be a birth certificate issued by the relevant registration body. This could include certificates from Notified Area Council, Municipality, Municipal Corporation, data from Village Panchayat, Military Hospital and service records of Defense personnel. If a Vidyalaya provides provisional admission, the original certificate of date of birth must be presented at the time of admission. It will be returned after verification.
