[Resolved]  Kerala CBSE Sma — CBSE SCHOOL DENIED ADMISSION TO MY SON FOR REASONS NOT GENUINE

Address:

Ernakulam, Kerala

Sir/ Madam, I am writing this as a grievance; that an admission to Lower Kinder Garden was refused by a CBSE School in Kochi / Kerala, based on grounds not prescribed by the CBSE office- New Delhi. The Interview Board refused admission quoting the reason that my son’s age is earlier for him to join LKG; as CBSE rules stipulates an age of 3.5 years on 1st June 2014. In fact, my son was only 26 days short of being 3.5 years. We were not expecting that his admission would be rejected based on Date of Birth. His quotient of intelligence in the interview was well above the mark. I checked this matter with CBSE Head Office in New Delhi. The officer informed that there is no rule with CBSE for admission to lower Classes. CBSE got the policy limiting the age only for Class 9th, 10th & 12th. With the above action taken by school, we wish to express our concern that our son will be missing a curriculum year for a shortage of 26 days; if he is told to join LKG in the year 2015. If school rejected admission for reasons, not sincere; we request your opinion on this matter & let me know a genuine advice. Thanks Mobile: [protected] Email: [protected]@gmail.com
