It is significant to remember that the age restrictions for the relevant classes will continue to be gradually modified in the future after the minimum and maximum age criteria for admission to Class I were adjusted for the academic year 2022–2023.

It is possible to extend the maximum age limit by two years for Children with Special Needs (CwSN). Furthermore, as long as the student applies in the same year that they finish their Class X test, there are no age requirements for admission to Class XI. Similarly, if a student has maintained continuous enrollment after finishing Class XI, there won’t be any higher or lower age restrictions for admission to Class XII.
