Our son is now 3 years old. We want to join him in ICSE school in LKG standard. We are not aware about ICSE requirements. So please tell us about the age limit or procedure of admission in ICSE school. Or is there any entrance test to get admission in LKG?

LKG stands for Lower Kindergarten and it comes under pre school category.

ICSE refers to Indian Certificate of Secondary Education and it is one of the Central Boards which provides education upto higher secondary level in English medium.

As per the admission criteria of ICSE, for admission in any Class there is no age criteria rather the age criteria for admission depends upon the minimum criteria fixed by the concerned state board of education in which the school lies.

Also you have asked about the requirement to be fulfilled then at such lower level of academics there is no such requirement of educational background rather a school has their fixed agenda for taking admission for which the information can be gathered by visiting your desired school.

Minimum age limit of a child for admission in LKG is upto 3.5 years to 4 years.
There is also a entrance test to judge the knowledge and merit of a child that is he or she is eligible for that class or not.
Admission procedure is not so tough. After clearing entrance test you need to go through all procedures as guided by school principal or admission controller.

The procedure is quite simple for admission, you will have to provide the birth certificate of the candidate along with some other documents if asked for by the school and will have to sit for an interview along with the child and after completion of the interview session, your child will be provided admission if he is felt fit for it.

But I am sorry to say that at present your child is not eligible to get admitted in any class in any school as he has not attained the age of 3 years and 6 months, which is the minimum age criteria for any candidate to get admission in school,

There is no entrance test for admission in LKG standard. There is no hard & fast rule on age limit for admission in LKG. However many schools designed their own age criteria for admission in LKG class. As per the suggestion of department of Public Instruction, candidate should be at least three and half year s old, to get admission in LKG standard.
To get admission, you have to purchase the admission form. After filling the admission form properly, you have to submit it along with required documents.

There are no entrance exams as such for admission in standards below 1 in most of the schools under ICSE curriculum. The admission is done purely on the basis of lottery system. However, the application and admission process differs slightly from one school to another. Hence you should definitely cross check with the concerned school. The minimum age limit for LKG is 4 years.

There is no entrance examination for admission in class L.KG in ICSE Board, candidates have to face an interview along with his/her parents. Merit Listed candidates are then admitted in the respective class.
You need to first grab the application form from the School office. Submit them along with the required documents mentioned in the application form to the School office and appear for the interview along with your ward.
