How to use
- Enter the child's date of birth and the admission year — the cutoff date fills in automatically as 1 April of that year (change it if a school uses another date).
- Select the target class and, if needed, adjust its minimum and maximum age in the norms table below.
- Press "Check eligibility" to see the child's exact age on the cutoff date and whether it falls within the norm, is too young, or is too old.
This is a planning worksheet using typical age norms, not an official eligibility ruling. Every school in Pakistan sets its own admission policy — some require a minimum of 5 years for Class 1, others differ by a few months, and many also consider documents, interviews or readiness tests. Always confirm the exact requirement with the school before applying. Age ranges on this page are editable estimates, not official standards.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How is the age calculated?
Enter the child's date of birth and the admission year. The calculator works out the child's exact age in years and months on 1 April of that year, then compares it with the age range set for the chosen class.
Why is 1 April used as the cutoff?
Most Pakistani schools start the academic session in April, so age eligibility is commonly measured on 1 April of the admission year. The cutoff field is editable if a school uses a different date.
Can I change the age ranges for each class?
Yes. Every class has editable minimum and maximum age fields prefilled with common Pakistani school norms. Your edits are saved in your browser through localStorage.
Does eligible here mean the school will admit my child?
No. Each school sets its own admission policy, and some require documents, interviews or tests. This tool only checks typical age norms — always confirm with the school directly.
