STEP 1: Parents need to register online. Application number and password will be communicated to you on your registered mobile number

STEP 2: Fill up the child’s and parent’s details; also locate the address while filling up the application form to list schools within one-three km from your place of residence

STEP 3:Upload all necessary documents; then confirm your admission and take the printed application along with the required documents to a help desk, the location of which will be provided online. They are physical helpdesks at schools

STEP 4:RTE admission lottery will be announced online; parents can check their application status online

STEP 5:Once the name of the child comes in the lottery, parents need to approach the school administration, submit required documents and complete the admission process.

While filling up the online form, parents have to use the Google map to locate their home and accordingly give a preference of the schools that exist withing one-three km from your house. If parents are not able to locate their home on the map, they can use a nearby landmark location

Mukund Kirdat, education expert, said, “The RTE admission process is easy and simple to understand and follow, but often, due to technical errors parents face issues. Each parent applying for the admission process should first read the admission manual given on the official website.”
