UP Announces 25% Quota Admission Schedule For Private Schools Under RTE Act
The Uttar Pradesh Basic Education Department has released the admission schedule for the 2026–27 academic year under the 25 per cent reservation in private schools as per the RTE Act-2009, according to a statement on Monday.
The admission process will be conducted entirely through an online portal, following the departmental guidelines. Eligible children for Class 1 or pre-primary level will be chosen via a lottery system to ensure transparency and fairness.
District Basic Education Officers and Block Education Officers across all districts have been directed to ensure the timely completion of the admission process for the selected children, reported PTI.
Schools are required to upload the admission status on the portal.
The first phase will run from February 2 to 16, the second phase from February 21 to March 7, and the third phase from March 12 to 25.
For the application, it is mandatory to provide the Aadhaar card of the applicant's mother or father, birth certificate, income certificate, residence certificate, caste certificate, ration card, and any pension or disability-related certificate.
No fees will be charged for children enrolled in private schools, as the government will provide the prescribed amount per student to the schools.
Basic Education Minister, Sandeep Singh, said, “The provision of 25 per cent reservation in entry-level classes of private schools under RTE provides children from deprived and economically weaker sections of society with equal and quality educational opportunities."
“This initiative reflects the government's commitment to strengthening social justice and inclusion in education. Ensuring the Right to Education for every eligible child in the state is our highest priority," he said.
Director General, School Education, Monika Rani, said, “To make the RTE admission process transparent and simple, the schedule of all stages has been released. Through online application, verification, and the lottery system, it will be ensured that eligible children get admission to private schools within the stipulated time. The education department will continuously monitor this process."

Applications for admission will be conducted entirely online through the RTE portal. Parents must upload the necessary documents. After submission, the District Basic Education Officers and Block Education Officers will verify the applications. Eligible children will then be selected through a lottery system.
