The Tamil Nadu government will conduct Right to Education (RTE) admissions for the current academic year from October 6 to October 17. This comes after the state received funds from the central government, allowing them to start the admission process for 2025-26.

How RTE Admissions Will Work

RTE admissions will happen through an online portal. Private schools will upload their total seats filled in entry-level classes. The government will give 25% of seats to RTE students. Orphans, HIV-affected children, transgender children, children of scavengers, and differently-abled children will get first chance. Over 6,000 private schools will take part in this process.

Funding Issues Resolved

The state government delayed RTE admissions because they did not have money. This happened because Tamil Nadu did not follow the three-language policy in PM Shri schools. So the central government did not give them 2151 crore rupees. But now, after court orders, the central government has given the money. This includes 362 crore rupees for last year and 87.8 crore rupees for this year.

The govt of India has now released the funds, thereby enabling the commencement of RTE admission for 2025-26 across TN.
