RTE Gujarat Admissions Open for 2026-27

Online applications for admissions under the Right to Education (RTE) Act in Gujarat commenced on April 4, 2026, with the application window remaining open until April 17, 2026. This initiative aims to provide access to quality education for children from economically weaker and middle-income families.

Over 84,000 seats are available in private schools across Gujarat under the RTE quota, with 25% of these seats reserved for children from economically weaker and disadvantaged sections. Specifically, over 41,000 seats will be in Gujarati medium, 40,262 in English medium, 2,235 in Hindi medium, and 320 in other mediums.

Parents looking to apply must submit supporting documents, including proof of date of birth, proof of residence, caste or category, and an income certificate. The official portal for applications is rte.orpgujarat.com.

This year, the revised admission process includes an option for parents to select the school timing, whether morning or afternoon shift. Additionally, preference in admissions will be accorded to children belonging to reserved categories.

The lottery result for admissions is expected in early May 2026. Parents are advised to keep one print copy of the filled online application for their records.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding any changes to the income limit for parents, which is currently set at ₹6 lakh annually. Observers expect that the RTE admissions will continue to play a crucial role in enhancing educational access for underprivileged communities in Gujarat.
