RTE admission to begin from Feb 15

As per the recent announcement from the director of primary education, the entry level admissions will begin from February 15, 2014 across state.

Mahavir Mane, director of primary education of the state said, “We are issuing a notification next month about the start of RTE admission. It will start from February 15. In Mumbai and Pune, we will conduct admissions online on a trial basis."

In December last year, education department had sent circular to schools clearing that they should not conduct entry-level admission before April 2014. But the circular got cancelled immediately and was announced that online admissions will take place for the 2015-16 session.

"This time, online admissions will be conducted on a trial basis only, so schools shouldn't worry," added Mane. However, officials from the Mumbai division education department said conducting online admissions this year won't be possible because of lack of training and non-availability of officers.
