RTE Gujarat Admission 2026-27 Apply Online for 84k RTE seats
available
The Government of Gujarat has officially released the RTE Admission 2026-27 notification for
providing free education to children from economically weaker and disadvantaged
sections. Under the Right to Education (RTE) Act, 25% seats are reserved in
private schools for eligible students seeking admission in Class 1.
Parents
who want their children to get quality education in private schools without
paying fees can now apply online through the official portal. This is a golden
opportunity for financially weaker families to secure a better educational
future for their children.
More than 84,000 seats will be available in private schools
across the state this year, down from around 94,000 seats offered last year.Under RTE norms, 25% of seats in private schools are reserved
for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, based on the total admissions
granted in the previous year.Officials from the Directorate of Primary
Education said parents were given sufficient time to collect required documents
to help ensure a smoother application process. Of the total seats, more than 41,000 are in Gujarati medium
schools, 40,262 in English medium, 2,235 in Hindi medium and 320 in other
mediums. A major change this year allows parents to choose the school shift,
either morning or afternoon, along with the school itself. This option was not available earlier. The admission
process also includes a revision in priority criteria. While children from
anganwadi centres were previously given preference over reserved-category
applicants, priority this year will go to children from reserved categories.
