Look generally before attaining 5 years of age a child is put in a kindergarten or playschool but once he/she get enough with the fun and basic a,b,c,d.... he/she needs to be admitted in class 1 and that is generally 5 yrs of age of most of the child, I have seen 4 years old child taking admission because of their high intellectual level and even 6 years old child taking admission because of lower intellectual level in class 1. So, it depends the child is under what situation and accordingly he/she needs to be admitted in the class 1 of a standard school.

The best way is to randomly take your child to class 1 admission tests conducted by schools around May to July, and there the counsellor will tell you whether he/she is eligible for the admission in class 1 in the current session.

Hope the above information helped you, for further information do let us know.
