RTE Admissions 2024-25 In Tamil Nadu: Last Day To Apply Online, Details Inside

May 20 is the last day for students to apply online for admission under the Right to Education Act (RTE) for the 2024-25 academic year.

Parents and students can submit their applications through the official website https://rteadmission.tnschools.gov.in.

The School Education Department opened applications for RTE admissions in April, Daily Thanthi reported. Since then, over 80,000 students have applied for admission under the Right to Free and Compulsory Education Act.

Parents residing within one kilometre of a private school can apply for admission under a 25 per cent seat reservation quota. This provision aims to assist children from underprivileged backgrounds, ensuring that those with an annual parental income of less than Rs 2 lakh can avail of this opportunity, provided they submit the necessary documentation.

The Right to Education Act, 2009 mandates a 25 per cent quota in non-minority private schools for children from disadvantaged sections across Tamil Nadu. The School Education Department will cover the tuition fees for students enrolled under this scheme, alleviating financial burdens on their families.

Parents are urged to take immediate action to ensure their children do not miss out on this valuable opportunity for quality education.
