NEW DELHI: The new rules apply to entry-level classes as well as admissions for Classes 1 to 9 and Class 11.

According to the circular issued on March 6, students who have completed their previous class from a recognised school will be granted direct admission into Classes 6 to 9. However, out-of-school children seeking to join Class 6 will need to undergo an assessment to evaluate their basic literacy and numeracy skills.

For students seeking admission to Classes 7 and 8 without prior education in a recognised institution, a simple undertaking from their parents will be sufficient.
