One month after schools opened, 20,000 RTE seats still available
- At least 20,000 RTE seats are available in the fourth round of admission process
- Public Instruction Department has sent messages to all parents to submit applications stating preference of schools
- Parents whose children were not allocated seats after the second round have admitted them in various schools already
FollowAfter almost a month after schools opened, the Public Instruction Department has announced that it would start the fourth round of admission process for the remaining 20,000 seats under RTE, reports Kannada Prabha.
The fourth round of seat allocation under RTE should have started immediately after the third round but the department delayed the process. Now, it has sent messages to all parents whose children were not allotted seats to submit applications stating preference of school within their locality or any other schools they wish to admit their children.
The parents can now hope to get an RTE seat for their children or even change the priority of schools. However, some parents whose children were not allocated seats after the second round have admitted them in various private schools. They are now under confusion if they should apply for the fourth round of RTE seat or not.
