Online applications for admissions under the Right to Education (RTE) Act in Gujarat commenced on April 4, 2026, with a total of over 84,000 seats available in private schools across the state. The application window will remain open until April 17, 2026, allowing parents ample time to secure a place for their children.

Of the available seats, 25% are reserved for children from economically weaker and disadvantaged sections, reflecting the state’s commitment to providing access to quality education. This year, over 41,000 seats will be in Gujarati medium, while 40,262 will be in English medium, 2,235 in Hindi medium, and 320 in other mediums.

The revised admission process includes a new feature allowing parents to select their preferred school timing, whether morning or afternoon shift. This flexibility aims to accommodate the diverse needs of families across Gujarat.

Parents must submit supporting documents, including proof of date of birth, proof of residence, caste or category, and an income certificate, to complete the application process. It is advisable for parents to keep a printed copy of their filled online application for their records.

The official portal for applications is rte.orpgujarat.com, where parents can register online. This streamlined process is designed to make it easier for families to navigate the admissions landscape.

Preference in admissions this year will be accorded to children belonging to reserved categories, ensuring that those who are most in need receive priority. The lottery result for admissions is expected to be announced in early May 2026, providing clarity for families eagerly awaiting news.

The RTE admission process aims to provide access to quality education for children from economically weaker and middle-income families, reinforcing the importance of educational equity in Gujarat. As the application deadline approaches, parents are encouraged to prepare their documents and submit their applications promptly.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding any additional changes to the admission process or the specific criteria for the lottery selection. Observers are keenly watching how these developments will unfold in the coming weeks.

The first provisional list for Balvatika is set to be declared on April 8, 2026, while the list for Class 1 will be announced a day later, on April 9, 2026. Following this, offline registration for Balvatika-2 and Class II will take place from April 2 to April 8, 2026.
