My daughter’s DOB is 11:4:12. She is currently studying in UKG. Some school required her to be 6 and some say they can join her in 1 std. Is it OK to let her continue with or should I repeat her to attain her age as not to face difficulties with board?

For your query you must contact the school or directorates of state education as there is no age limit by any board to get admission in any specific class.

The directorates of state declare the age limit to get admission in any class.

The minimum age required for the child to take admission in 1st standard is 5 years 6 months as on 31st March of the year of examination. As per the information you have mentioned in your query, your daughter's DOB is 11th April, 2012, that means, she is 4 years 8 months old and in UKG. So, once she attains the age of 5 years 6 months, you can join her in 1st standard.

The age limit for 1st standard of ICSE, CBSE and Karnataka Board is that the student must be more than 5 years old.

If a student is more than 5 years old then he and she is eligible to get admission to class 1st in all these boards.

There is no upper limit to the age criteria.

The age criteria according to the latest rule for admission in 1st standard is 6 years at the time of admission. So, if the age of the candidate is 6 years, then the candidate is eligible for admission in 1st standard.

The criteria required for the child to get admission in 1st standard is that the child should have passed UKG from a recognised board and he should be at least 5 years 6 months old as on 31st March of the year of admission. Since, your daughter is born on 11.04.12, she is just 4 years 8 months old, so, you can join her in 1st standard in the next academic year.
