Maharashtra RTE Admission 2013 Last Date Extended 

THE Slate Government has extended the admission dates for the 25% reserved category, under the Right to Education Act. 2009 up to June 14. The education department also released a detailed schedule of admission process to be conducted from April 25. This is the second revised schedule chalked oui by the department since January.The act makes it mandatory for schools to admit 25% students from weaker sections and disadvantaged groups from neighboring areas at the entry level.

During the first schedule that ended in February, only about 20% admissions were over in the entire district. Following the disappointing response, the stale government decided to conduct another round of admissions beginning from April 25.

Education department officials are targeting to fill up maximum number of seats. In the first round, the response was poor and hence it has decided to conduct another round of admissions, repeating the entire process within a time-bound process of application, submission, selection and ultimately putting up of the list of selected candidates.

The schools were asked to publicize the scheme to the beneficiaries from April 20 and issue application forms for students seeking admission under the RTE act from April 25. As per the RTE Act rules, every school must form an admission committee headed by the school principal. Members would include a representative of the parent-teacher association, a representative of the school management and a representative of the education board.
