Age Criteria for Class 6 and Class 7 Admission in Karnataka

The Karnataka government (KSEEB / DDPI) has set age norms for all classes. For the 2026-27 academic year, children must meet the following minimum age as of June 1, 2026:

Class	Minimum Age (as of June 1, 2026)	Previous Class Passed
Class 5	9 years	Class 4
Class 6	10 years	Class 5
Class 7	11 years	Class 6
Class 8	12 years	Class 7
Class 9	13 years	Class 8
Class 10	14 years	Class 9

Schools may grant a relaxation of up to 6 months in age if the child has already passed the qualifying class from a recognised school. The final decision rests with the school principal and DDPI guidelines.

Is TC (Transfer Certificate) Mandatory for Class 6 Admission?

Yes. A Transfer Certificate from the previous school is compulsory for admission to Class 6 or Class 7 in any government-recognised school in Karnataka. Here is what you need to know about the TC:

• TC must be issued by the principal of the previous school on official letterhead
• If transferring within the same district — TC alone is sufficient
• If transferring from another district — TC must be countersigned by the Block Education Officer (BEO) of the previous district
• If transferring from another state — TC must be countersigned by the respective state's education authority
• TC must mention the class last studied, date of leaving, and conduct certificate

Can You Get Admission Mid-Year to Class 6 or Class 7?
