AHMEDABAD: Of the 26,000-odd applications that were rejected for admission to class 1 under the Right To Admission Act, about 10,000 students have been admitted after they were allowed to re-apply, said sources close to the matter.
The state education department recently decided to give a second chance to students after complaints that many applications were rejected due to issues in documentation, said sources.
About 26,000 applications were rejected during the document scrutiny process, according to sources. Parents whose applications have been rejected were to reapply online from July 17 to July 19 after revising and rectifying the issues for which their applications were turned down.
Over 1.81 lakh applications were received under the RTE Act for admission to Class 1. This is about 2.5 times more than the total number of 73,499 seats that are expected to be reserved for RTE students for 2021-22, said sources in the education department. TNN
