The age limits for KVS Classes 1 to 10 have been shared in the revised schedule. However, KVS has clarified that there is no age restriction for admission to Class 11 if the students are seeking admission in the same year they passed the Class 10 exam. Similarly for Class 12, there is no age limit for admission provided the child has not experienced any break in the continuous study of the student after passing Class 11.

Principals have the authority to give age relaxation of up to 2 years on the maximum age limit in the case of differently-abled children.

"3 per cent seats of total available seats for fresh admission will be horizontally reserved for Differently Abled-children as per the provisions of RTE Act, 2009," the Kendriya Vidyalaya said.

Students from other boards such as ICSE, NIOS, or state boards will be considered for KVS Class 11 admission only if seats remain vacant. Similarly, for fresh admissions to Classes 10 and 12, students of other schools will be considered based on the availability of vacancies.
