In February 2013, the Delhi High Court announced that the Right to Education Act (RTE) was not applicable for nursery admissions in India. This means that private unaided schools have the power to set their own admission criteria for admissions. The Centre had pleaded to the court that the RTE was valid only for children in the age group of 6 to 14. This decision comes against the PIL that was filed by NGO Social Jurist.
