Pune: The online application process for admissions under the Right to Education (RTE) Act for 25% reserved seats in private unaided schools will commence from Tuesday, February 17. Parents can submit applications for their children until March 10, said Sharad Gosavi, director of primary education.
“Parents must ensure that all required documents are uploaded at the time of submitting the application. Any discrepancy found during verification will lead to cancellation of admission,” he said. Under the RTE Act, children from economically weaker sections and socially disadvantaged groups are provided free education from Classes 1 to 8 in private schools. Only schools located within a 1km radius of the child’s residence will be visible on the RTE portal and parents will be able to select a maximum of 10 schools.
