Uttar Pradesh has removed the Aadhaar card requirement for children seeking admission under the Right to Education (RTE) Act. This change aims to simplify the admission process for underprivileged families. While Aadhaar is no longer mandatory for application, it remains necessary for receiving financial assistance and reimbursements, requiring at least one parent's Aadhaar details for linked bank accounts. Admissions under RTE will be capped at 25% of entry-level capacity, with revised age criteria for nursery, LKG, and Class 1.
