Overview of RTE Admissions in Tamil Nadu
There's great news for parents in Tamil Nadu today! The government released the Right to Education (RTE) Admissions 2025 notification today. This was made possible after the central government finally released the pending reimbursement funds, following some pushback from the Madras High Court and Supreme Court.
New Changes in RTE Application Process
Now, all applications will be online, through the official RTE portal. This year, there's a new change children already in entry level classes can also apply under the RTE scheme. They've even set up a special 10 day online window to ensure these children can be included. Smart move, isn't it?
