My child is 2 years 10 months old. Can I get him admitted in Lower Kindergarten i.e. LKG? Or, he needs to wait more? What should be the idle age?

For admission into LKG standard, minimum age should be 3 years and 6 months. This age criteria is followed in most of the international schools.

As your ward's age is 2 years and 10 months, so you must wait for 1 year more.

If you want to get your child admitted in LKG class then you have to wait for at least 1 year. In this very age you can admit your child in only play class.

The minimum age required to get admission in LKG is three years six months as on 31st March of the year of admission. As per the information you have mentioned in your query, your son is 2 years 10 months old, so, he is not eligible to get admission in LKG. You need to wait more 8 months to join your child in LKG in any school.

The required age limit for getting admission in LKG are given below:

Age limit for admission in Nursery in 2 years 6 months to 3 years 6 months.

Age limit for LKG is 3 years 6 months to 4 years 6 months.

Age limit for UKG is 4 years 6 months to 5 years 6 months.

As per your information, your child needs to wait to get admission in LKG.

The age limit to get admission in any school or std is decided by the Directorate of State Education.

So, kindly visit the respective office of concerned department for detail information regarding the age limit for admission.

But the most suitable age for admission is almost 4 years.

Age criteria required for a child to get admission in LKG:

No, your child is not eligible for getting admission into LKG with just 2 years 10 months old. Infact, 2 years 10 months age is very low as far as my best knowledge is concerned.

There is a certain age criteria applicable for candidates to get admission into concerned schools.

>> LKG in ICSE schools - 3 years 10 months

>> LKG in other schools - 3 years 6 months or 3 years 8 months

Hence, your child has to wait for 1 more year in order to be eligible for getting admission into LKG of concerned school.
