New Delhi, Oct. 6 -- The Tamil Nadu government has announced that the admission process for the 2025-26 academic year under the Right to Education (RTE) Act will be held from October 6 to October 17 this year. This announcement follows the release of essential funds by the Union government, which has brought an end to the uncertainty that had previously delayed the start of the admission process.

The decision was made following the release of funds under the Samagra Shiksha Scheme, after the Tamil Nadu government declined to implement the three-language policy in PM SHRI schools, which had led to the withholding of Rs.2,151 crore.

The scheme also includes reimbursement for RTE admissions for the 2024-25 academic year in private schools....
