Online applications for admissions under the Right to Education (RTE) Act in Gujarat commenced on April 4, 2026, marking a significant opportunity for families seeking quality education for their children. The application window will remain open until April 17, 2026, allowing parents a brief but critical period to secure a spot for their children.
Over 84,000 seats are available in private schools across Gujarat under the RTE quota, with 25% of these seats reserved specifically for children from economically weaker and disadvantaged sections. This initiative aims to bridge the educational gap and provide access to quality education for those who need it most.
Among the total seats, more than 41,000 are designated for Gujarati medium, while 40,262 are in English medium, 2,235 in Hindi medium, and 320 in other mediums. This diverse offering reflects the state’s commitment to catering to various linguistic preferences and educational needs.
Parents must submit essential supporting documents, including proof of date of birth, proof of residence, caste or category, and an income certificate, to complete the application process. The official portal for applications is rte.orpgujarat.com, where parents can also find additional information regarding the admissions.
This year, the revised admission process includes an option for parents to select the school timing, whether morning or afternoon shift, providing more flexibility for families. Furthermore, preference in admissions will be accorded to children belonging to reserved categories, ensuring that those who are most in need receive priority.
Registration for the RTE admissions can be completed online, and parents are advised to keep one print copy of the filled application for their records. The lottery result for admissions is expected to be announced in early May 2026, a date that many families are eagerly anticipating.
The RTE admission process aims to provide access to quality education for children from economically weaker and middle-income families, reflecting a broader commitment to educational equity in Gujarat. As the application period progresses, many parents are hopeful that their children will benefit from this vital initiative.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact number of applications received thus far, but the interest in RTE admissions is expected to be high given the significant number of seats available.
