Gujarat RTE Admissions 2026 Begin for Over 84,000 Seats in Private Schools The Right to Education (RTE) admissions process for 2026 in Gujarat commenced on April 4, 2026, with over 84,000 seats available in private schools for children from economically weaker and middle-income families. The application window remains open until April 17, with submissions accepted until midnight on the final day. This initiative aims to ensure equitable access to quality education by reserving 25% of seats in private schools for marginalized sections of society, based on admissions from the previous year. The distribution of seats across different mediums highlights the linguistic diversity of Gujarat’s educational landscape. Over 41,000 seats are allocated for Gujarati-medium institutions, while 40,262 seats are reserved for English-medium schools. Hindi-medium schools will offer 2,235 seats, and 320 seats are available in other mediums. Officials from the Directorate of Primary Education emphasized that sufficient time was provided to parents to gather necessary documents, streamlining the admission process. A notable change in this year’s admission process is the introduction of a shift selection option, allowing parents to choose morning or afternoon timings for their children. This facility was not available in previous years, reflecting efforts to accommodate diverse family schedules. Additionally, the priority list for admissions has been revised. While children from anganwadi centres previously received preference over reserved category candidates, this year’s process prioritizes children belonging to reserved categories. Parents are required to submit applications through the official portal, rte.orpgujarat.#anganwadi_centres #gujarat_directorate_of_primary_education #rte_orpgujarat_com #gujarat_rte_admissions_2026 #reserved_categories
