TN RTE 25 Admission 2024-25 Lottery Draw Result
In Tamil Nadu, for the academic year 2024-25, the enrollment of students seeking admission under the Right to Education (RTE) Act’s 25% reservation in private schools will not involve a lottery process.
Nonetheless, the demand for these reserved seats remains robust, as private schools receive a plethora of applications for Class 1 or LKG from children belonging to the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) and Disadvantaged Group (DG) categories. To tackle this situation equitably, a Draw of Lots mechanism will be implemented to select students for RTE 25 admissions fairly.
To streamline the lottery process, every school will establish a committee tasked with overseeing the event within the school premises, with the participation of all applicants’ parents. This committee will also comprise two parents of applicants to ensure transparency and fairness during the selection process.
Subsequent to the lottery draw, the school is mandated to prominently display the initial selection list on the notice board within the school premises, adhering to the prescribed guidelines. Furthermore, the list will be made available on the official school website for convenient access and transparency for all parties involved.
