To streamline the process and ensure better coordination, the authorities are urging parents to meet school deadlines and complete necessary formalities. Across Gujarat, RTE admissions began on April 6, 2025. Parents have been advised to secure their child’s admission by May 28, 2025. If parents miss this deadline, the admission process for their child will be cancelled, regardless of the allotment.
