Hi, my son will be 6 years of age in 2 months. He is in LKG and we are thinking to skip UKG owing to the COVID. Is it possible to get him admission to 1st standard under CBSE norms? I am worried that he will loose out 1 year and also his age limit might be a matter.

Yes, he can get admission in CBSE 1st standard. As you said he is 6 years old and the minimum age criteria required for the child to take admission in Class 1 in CBSE school is 5 years 6 months as on 31st March of the year of admission.
